Chapter 21

Chapter 21.—40.  Julianus of Telepte ¹⁸¹⁷ said:  "It is written, ‘A man can receive nothing, except it be given him from heaven;’ ¹⁸¹⁸ if heresy is from heaven, it can give baptism." ¹⁸¹⁹

41.  Let him hear another also saying:  If covetousness is from heaven, it can give baptism.  And yet the covetous do confer it; so therefore also may the heretics.
