Letter 49: Maximus, Urbanus, Sidonius, and Macarius to their brother Cyprian, greetings.
Maximus, Urbanus, Sidonius, and Macarius to their brother Cyprian, greetings.
We are confident, dear brother, that you rejoice with us with equal earnestness at what we have done. Having reflected carefully — and above all, considering the good of the Church and her peace — we set everything else aside, reserved all secondary matters to the judgment of God, and made peace with Cornelius our bishop, and with the whole clergy.
You should know from this letter that this was done with the joy of the whole Church, and with the wholehearted welcome of the brethren. We pray, dear brother, that for many years you may fare well.
