soon as I shall have first said about his Council what I think is due from me, which, in God's will, I shall attempt in the following book. FOOTNOTES: [305] Cypr. _Ep._ lxxiii. _ad Jubaian._ sec. 20.

[348] In this and the following chapter Augustine is examining the seventieth epistle of Cyprian to his brother Quintus, bishop in Mauritania. [349] Apud veteres hæreses et schismata prima adhuc fuisse initia. Migne suggests, "hæresis et schismatum"--"there was as yet only the first beginning of heresy and schisms." [350] 1 John ii. 9. [351] 1 John iii. 15. [352] Cypr. lxxiii. sec. 12. [353] In this and the next two chapters Augustine is examining the seventieth epistle of Cyprian, from himself and thirty-one other bishops, to Januarius, Saturninus, Maximus, and fifteen others. [354] In the question, "Dost thou believe in eternal life and remission of sins through the holy Church?" Cypr. _l.c._ [355] John ix. 31. [356] Acts ix. 4. [357] Matt. xxv. 45. [358] 1 John ii. 19. [359] John xx. 23. [360] Matt. vi. 15. [361] Cypr. _Ep._ lxxi., which is examined by Augustine in the remaining chapters of this book. [362] Tit. iii. 11. [363] Rom. ii. 1. [364] Rom. ii. 21. [365] 1 Cor. vi. 10. [366] Wisd. i. 5. [367] Cyprian, in the laying on of hands, appears to refer to confirmation, but Augustine interprets it of the restoration of penitents. Cp. III. xvi. 21. [368] Gal. iii. 27. [369] 2 Cor. vi. 16. [370] 1 Sam. xix. 23. [371] Mark ix. 38. [372] Eph. v. 27. Cp. Aug. _Retract._ ii. 18, quoted above, I. xvii. 26. [373] "Docibilis;" and so the passage (2 Tim. ii. 24) is quoted frequently by Augustine. The English version, "apt to teach," is more true to the original, [Greek: didaktikos] [374] See Eph. iv. 4-6.
