Works Cyprian of Carthage (200-258) Epistulae (CCEL) The Epistles of Cyprian

Epistle LIV. 1

To Cornelius, Concerning Fortunatus and Felicissimus, or Against the Heretics.

Argument.--Cyprian Chiefly Warns Cornelius in This Letter Not to Hear the Calumnies of Felicissimus and Fortunatus Against Him, and Not to Be Frightened by Their Threats, But to Be of a Brave Spirit, as Becomes God's Priests in Opposition to Heretics; Namely, Those Who, After the Custom Prevailing Among Heretics, Began Their Heresy and Schisms with the Contempt of One Bishop in the Church. 2

  2. Indicating also by the way whence heresy and schisms are wont to take their rise, so that the letter is with good reason inscribed by Morell "Contra Haereticos." ↩
