Epistle XXXIX. ¹

To the People, Concerning Five Schismatic Presbyters of the Faction of Felicissimus.

Argument.--In Like Manner, as in the Epistle But One Before This, Cyprian Told the Clergy, So Now He Tells the People, that Felicissimus is to Be Avoided, Together with Five Presbyters of His Faction, Who Not Only Granted Peace to the Lapsed Without Any Discrimination, But Stirred Up Sedition and Schism Against Himself.
