The Treatises of Cyprian

1. That innocency asks with confidence, and obtains.

In the Epistle of John: “If our heart blame us not, we have confidence towards God; and whatever we ask, we shall receive from Him.”(1 John ii. 21, 22) Also in the Gospel according to Matthew: “Blessed are they of a pure heart, for they shall see God.”(Matt. v. 8) Also in the twenty-third Psalm: “Who shall ascend into the hill of the Lord? or who shall stand in His holy place? The innocent in hands and of a pure heart.”(Ps. xxiv. 3, 4)
