Writings in Connection with the Donatist Controversy

by Bishop of Hippo Saint Augustine

[656] John i. 33.

[657] Cp. Contra Cresconium, Book II. xxv. 30: "Ita mortui sunt, ut neque super terras, neque in requie sanctorum sint."

[658] Migne suggests as an emendation, "quod Deus illi comes erat," as in II. xxiii. 53, xxxvii. 87, etc.

[659] 1 Sam. xvii. 51.

[660] That of Bagai. See on de Bapt. I. v. 7.

[661] Ore latissimo acclamaverunt. The Louvain edition has "lætissimo," both here and Contra Crescon. IV. xli. 48.

[662] Num. xvi. 31-35.

[663] Ps. lxxii. 8.

[664] Ps. ii. 8.

[665] Qui talia facientes quamvis improbent. A comparison of the explanation of this passage in Contra Crescon. III. xli. 45, shows the probability of Migne's conjecture, "quamvis improbe," "who endure the men that act in such a way, however monstrous their conduct may be."
