Against the Donatists

St Optatus of Milevis, tr. Vassall-Phillips, 1917

Book 5, Argument

In this Fifth Book it is shown that though Men are the Ministers of Baptism, it is God Who cleanses, and that it is his Christ who gives what is received in baptism, and that the rebaptised cannot possess the kingdom of God, and that they have lost the Wedding Garment.
