Introductory Notice to Cyprian.
46. That a woman ought to be silent in the church.
[4424] 1 Cor. xiv. 34, 35. [Women might have spiritual gifts, like the daughters of Philip, Acts xxi. 9; but even such are here forbidden to use them in the public worship of the Church.]
48. That we must not take usury.
[4429] The Oxford edition has “the fourteenth.” [Elucidation XIII.]
49. That even our enemies must be loved.
50. That the sacrament of faith must not be profaned.
51. That no one should be uplifted in his labour.
[4437] [Hab. i. 16; Ps. cxxxi. 1.]
[4438] Ecclesiasticus 10.26.
52. That the liberty of believing or of not believing is placed in free choice.
53. That the secrets of God cannot be seen through, and therefore that our faith ought to be simple.
[4443] [The aphoristic force of these “heads” is often striking in the original; e.g., “Dei arcana perspici non posse, et ideo fidem nostram simplicem esse debere.”]
