Chapter 10.—15. To the declaration of Polycarp of Adrumetum,1607
| 1607 Adrumetum (Hadrumetum) was an ancient Phœnician settlement, made a Roman colony by Trajan, on the coast of the Sinus Neapolitanus, some ninety miles south-east of Carthage, capital of Byzacium. Cyprian writes to Bp. Cornelius, Ep. xlviii., vindicating Polycarp: his name occurs also in the titles of Cypr. Epp. lvii., lxvii. (after Primus), and lxx. (after Cæcilius).

that "those who declare the
baptism of
heretics to be valid, make ours of none effect," we answer, if that is the
baptism of
heretics which is given by
heretics, then that is the
baptism of the covetous and murderers which is given by them within the
Church. But if this be not their baptism, neither is the other the baptism of heretics; and so it is Christ’s, by whomsoever it be given.
