The City of God

Augustine (De Haeresibus 43). Origen’s opinion was condemned by Anastasius (Jerome, Apologia adversus Ruffinum, and Epistola 78, ad Pammachium), and after Augustine’s death by Vigilius and the Emperor Justinian, in the Fifth Ecumenical Council (Nicephorus Callistus, XVII. 27, and the Acts of the Council, IV. 11).

A somewhat fuller account of this miracle is given by Augustine in the Confessions, IX. 16. See also Sermon 286, and Ambrose, Epistola 22. A translation of this epistle in full is given in Isaac Taylor’s Ancient Christianity, II. 242, where this miracle is taken as a specimen of the so-called miracles of that age, and submitted to a detailed examination. The result arrived at will be gathered from the following sentence: “In the Nicene Church, so lax were the notions of common morality, and in so feeble a manner did the fear of God influence the conduct of leading men, that, on occasions when the Church was to be served, and her assailants to be confounded, they did not scruple to take upon themselves the contrivance and execution of the most degrading impostures.”⁠—P. 270. It is to be observed, however, that Augustine was, at least in this instance, one of the deceived. ↩

Alypius was a countryman of Augustine, and one of his most attached friends. See the Confessions, passim. ↩

Easter and Whitsuntide were the common seasons for administering baptism, though no rule was laid down till towards the end of the sixth century. Tertullian thinks these the most appropriate times, but says that every time is suitable. See Tertullian de Baptismo, ch. 19. ↩
