Chapter 66

Anti-Donatist Writings · Saint Augustine of Hippo

Chapter 66.—147. Petilianus said: "‘Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.’ To you it seems to be righteousness that you thirst after our blood."

Donat 2.98.1

148. Augustin answered: What shall I say unto thee, O man, except that thou art calumnious? The unity of Christ, indeed, is hungering and thirsting after all of you; and I would that it might swallow you up, for then would you be no longer heretics.

Donat 2.98.2
