Chapter 10.—18. Likewise another Felix of Marazana17821782 Marazana was in ecclesiastical province of Byzacene. On Felix, see Bk. VI. c. 19. note 2. said: "There is one faith, one baptism,17831783 Eph. iv. 5. but of the Catholic Church, to which alone is given authority to baptize."17841784 Conc. Carth. sec. 46.
19. What if another were to say as follows: One faith, one baptism, but of the righteous only, to whom alone authority is given to baptize? As these words might be refuted, so also may the judgment of Felix be refuted. Do even the unrighteous who are not17851785 Nec…mutati. "Nec" is restored by the Benedictines from the Mss. changed in heart in baptism, while "they renounce the world in words and not in deeds" yet belong to the members of the Church? Let them consider whether such a Church is the actual rock, the very dove, the bride herself without spot or wrinkle.17861786 Eph. v. 27. See Retract. ii. 18, quoted on I. 17, 26.
