Book VI.
Chapter 28.

53.

Hortensianus of Lares 1 said: "How many baptisms there are, let those who uphold or favor heretics determine. We assert one baptism of the Church, which we only know in the Church. Or how can those baptize any one in the name of Christ whom Christ Himself declares to be His enemies?" 2


  1. Lares, in ecclesiastical province of Numidia. Hortensianus is very likely the same as the one in Cypr. Epp. lvii., lxx. ↩

  2. Conc. Carth. sec. 21. ↩
