the past, as Peter did for his fear that led him into falsehood, and
let them come to the true Church of Christ, that is, to the Catholic
Church our mother; let them be in it clergy, let them be bishops unto
its profit, as they have been hitherto in enmity against it. We feel
no jealousy towards them, nay, we embrace them; we wish, we advise, we
even compel those to come in whom we find in the highways and hedges,
although we fail as yet in persuading some of them that we are seeking
not their property, but themselves. The Apostle Peter, when he denied
his Saviour, and wept, and did not cease to be an apostle, had not as
yet received the Holy Spirit that was promised; but much more have
these men not received Him, when, being severed from the framework
of the body, which is alone enlivened by the Holy Spirit, they have
usurped the sacraments of the Church outside the Church and in
hostility to the Church, and have fought against us in a kind of civil
war, with our own arms and our own standards raised in opposition to
us. Let them come; let peace be concluded in the virtue of Jerusalem,
which virtue is Christian charity,--to which holy city it is said,
"Peace be in thy virtue, and plenteousness within thy palaces."[1262]
Let them not exalt themselves against the solicitude of their mother,
which she both has entertained and does entertain with the object of
gathering within her bosom themselves, and all the mighty nations whom
they are, or recently were, deceiving; let them not be puffed up with
pride, that she receives them in such wise; let them not attribute to
the evil of their own exaltation the good which she on her part does in
order to make peace.
47. So it has been her wont to come to the aid of multitudes who were
perishing through schisms and heresies. This displeased Lucifer,[1263]
when it was carried out in receiving and healing those who had perished
beneath the poison of the Arian heresy; and, being displeased at it,
he fell into the darkness of schism, losing the light of Christian
charity. In accordance with this principle, the Church of Africa has
recognised the Donatists from the very beginning, obeying herein the
decree of the bishops who gave sentence in the Church at Rome between
Cæcilianus and the party of Donatus; and having condemned one bishop
named Donatus,[1264] who was proved to have been the author of the
schism, they determined that the others should be received, after
correction, with full recognition of their orders, even if they had
been ordained outside the Church,--not that they could have the Holy
Spirit even outside the unity of the body of Christ, but, in the first
place, for the sake of those whom it was possible they might deceive
while they remained outside, and prevent from obtaining that gift;
and, secondly, that their own weakness also being mercifully received
within, might thus be rendered capable of cure, no obstinacy any longer
standing in the way to close their eyes against the evidence of truth.
For what other intention could have given rise to their own conduct,
when they received with full recognition of their orders the followers
of Maximianus, whom they had condemned as guilty of sacrilegious
schism, as their council[1265] shows, and to fill whose places they
had already ordained other men, when they saw that the people did not
depart from their company, that all might not be involved in ruin? And
on what other ground did they neither speak against nor question the
validity of the baptism which had been administered outside by men whom
they had condemned? Why, then, do they wonder, why do they complain,
and make it the subject of their calumnies, that we receive them in
such wise to promote the true peace of Christ, while yet they do not
remember what they themselves have done to promote the false peace of
Donatus, which is opposed to Christ? For if this act of theirs be borne
in mind, and intelligently used in argument against them, they will
have no answer whatsoever that they can make.
* * * * *
CHAP. XI.--48. But as to what they say, arguing as follows: If we have
sinned against the Holy Ghost, in that we have treated your baptism
with contempt, why is it that you seek us, seeing that we cannot
possibly receive remission of this sin, as the Lord says, "Whosoever
speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither
in this world, neither in the world to come?"[1266]--they do not
perceive that according to their interpretation of the passage none
can be delivered. For who is there that does not speak against the
Holy Ghost and sin against Him, whether we take the case of one who is
not yet a Christian, or of one who shares in the heresy of Arius, or
of Eunomius, or of Macedonius, who all say that He is a creature; or
of Photinus, who denies that He has any substance at all, saying that
there is only one God, the Father; or of any of the other heretics,
whom it would now take too long a time to mention in detail? Are none,
therefore, of these to be delivered? Or if the Jews themselves, against
whom the Lord directed His reproach, were to believe in Him, would they
not be allowed to be baptized? for the Saviour does not say, Shall be
forgiven in baptism; but "Shall not be forgiven, neither in this world,
neither in the world to come."
49. Let them understand, therefore, that it is not every sin, but only
some sin, against the Holy Ghost which is incapable of forgiveness. For
just as when our Lord said, "If I had not come and spoken unto them,
they had not had sin,"[1267] it is clear that He did not wish it to
be understood that they would have been free from all sin, since they
were filled with many grievous sins, but that they would have been
free from some special sin, the absence of which would have left them
in a position to receive remission of all the sins which yet remained
in them, viz. the sin of not believing in Him when He came to them;
for they could not have had this sin, had He not come. In like manner,
also, when He said, "Whosoever sinneth against the Holy Ghost," or,
"Whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost;" it is clear that He does
not refer to every sin of whatsoever kind against the Holy Ghost, in
word or deed, but would have us understand some special and peculiar
sin. But this is the hardness of heart even to the end of this life,
which leads a man to refuse to accept remission of his sins in the
unity of the body of Christ, to which life is given by the Holy Ghost.
For when He had said to His disciples, "Receive the Holy Ghost," He
immediately added, "Whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted
unto them; and whose soever sins ye retain, they are retained."[1268]
Whosoever therefore has resisted or fought against this gift of the
grace of God, or has been estranged from it in any way whatever to the
end of this mortal life, shall not receive the remission of that sin,
either in this world, or in the world to come, seeing that it is so
great a sin that in it is included every sin; but it cannot be proved
to have been committed by any one, till he has passed away from life.
But so long as he lives here, "the goodness of God," as the apostle
says, "is leading him to repentance;" but if he deliberately, with the
utmost perseverance in iniquity, as the apostle adds in the succeeding
verse, "after his hardness and impenitent heart, treasures up unto
himself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous
judgment of God,"[1269] he shall not receive forgiveness, neither in
this world, neither in that which is to come.
50. But those with whom we are arguing, or about whom we are arguing,
are not to be despaired of, for they are yet in the body; but they
cannot seek the Holy Spirit, except in the body of Christ, of which
they possess the outward sign outside the Church, but they do not
possess the actual reality itself within the Church of which that
is the outward sign, and therefore they eat and drink damnation to
themselves.[1270] For there is but one bread which is the sacrament
of unity, seeing that, as the apostle says, "We, being many, are one
bread, and one body."[1271] Furthermore, the Catholic Church alone
is the body of Christ, of which He is the Head and Saviour of His
body.[1272] Outside this body the Holy Spirit giveth life to no one,
seeing that, as the apostle says himself, "The love of God is shed
abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us;"[1273]
but he is not a partaker of the divine love who is the enemy of unity.
Therefore they have not the Holy Ghost who are outside the Church;
for it is written of them, "They separate themselves, being sensual,
having not the Spirit."[1274] But neither does he receive it who is
insincerely in the Church, since this is also the intent of what is
written: "For the Holy Spirit of discipline will flee deceit."[1275]
If any one, therefore, wishes to receive the Holy Spirit, let him
beware of continuing in alienation from the Church, let him beware
of entering it in the spirit of dissimulation; or if he has already
entered it in such wise, let him beware of persisting in such
dissimulation, in order that he may truly and indeed become united with
the tree of life.
51. I have despatched to you a somewhat lengthy epistle, which may
prove burdensome among your many occupations. If, therefore, it may be
read to you even in portions, the Lord will grant you understanding,
that you may have some answer which you can make for the correction
and healing of those men who are commended to you as to a faithful son
by our mother the Church, that you may correct and heal them, wherever
you can, and howsoever you can, either by speaking and replying to them
in your own person, or by bringing them into communication with the
doctors of the Church.

[1173] In Book II. c. xlviii. of his _Retractations_, Augustine says:
"About the same time" (as that at which he wrote his treatise _De
Gestis Pelagii_, _i.e._ about the year 417), "I wrote also a treatise
_De Correctione Donatistarum_, for the sake of those who were not
willing that the Donatists should be subjected to the correction of the
imperial laws. This treatise begins with the words "Laudo, et gratulor,
et admiror." This letter in the old editions was No. 50,--the letter
