A good statement of Cyprian's views may be found in Lindsay, Church and Ministry, pp. 298 seq.
3 Ep. , Ixviii, 4 [Ox. Ixvi, 3], * Epp. , xxxix, 5 ; li, 21 ; Ixviii, 3, 5 [Ox. Xliii, Iv, Ixvi].
PERSECUTION AND ITS AFTERMATH 163 the true basis of unity in the Church. His position is unmistakably monarchical, and the other clerical orders are treated as being in a position of marked subordination to him. 1 In Cyprian's system the distinction between clergy and laity has of course become complete ;... for the latter to refuse obedience is to be cast out of the Church, in communion with which alone can men tread the way of life. As a token of duty and respect, they were bidden to rise to their feet upon the entrance of a clergyman into their midst. 1 Signs of this exaltation of the clergy into something like a sacred caste had not, indeed, been altogether wanting even before the time of Cyprian. Services originally per- formed on the score of personal ability alone had already been, for a full generation, in great measure, restricted to the clergy, 1 who, in pro- portion as they drew to themselves a monopoly of initiation in ecclesiastical matters, were fast coming to regard themselves as a class apart from the rest of the community ; while religion degenerated into blind obedience, if not super- stition.
