The Treatises of Cyprian

1. That the believer ought not to be punished for other offences, except for the name he bears.

In the Epistle of Peter to them of Pontus: “Nor let any of you suffer as a thief, or a murderer, or as an evil-doer, or as a minder of other people’s business,(2 Cor. x. 13, 14)(Gal. ii. 9)⁴⁴⁰² but as a Christian.”(1 Pet. iv. 15, 16)
