* Some editions lead "recalled." Digitized by Google CHAP. 4.] CYPRIAN ON THE lord's PRAYER. 175 prayed by the saints, scarcely anything else is understood to be prayed for but perseverance ? Chap. i.—Of the Pelagiem doctrine there are three leading points. Eead with a little more attention the exposition of this in the treatise of the blessed martyr Cyprian, which he produced con- cerning this matter, the title of which is. On the LorcPs Prayer ; and see how many years ago, and what sort of an... antidote was prepared against those poisons which the Pelagians were one day to use. For there are three points, as you know, which the Catholic Church chiefly maintains against them, — one of which is, that the grace of God is not given according to our merits ; because even every one of the merits of the righteous is God's gift, and is conferred by God's grace. The second is, that no one lives in this corruptible body in right- eousness of any degree without sins of any kind. The third is, that man is bom obnoxious to the first man's sin, and bound by the chain of his condenmation, unless the condition of guilt which is contracted by generation be loosed by re- generation.
