BUT let us see how the same man addressed Novatus when he was disturbing the Roman brotherhood. As he pretended that some of the brethren were the occasion of his apostasy and schism, as if he had been forced by them to proceed as he had, observe the manner con which he writes onesto him:

HE wrote also an epistle to the brethren per Egypt on Repentance

“Dionysius to his brother Novatus, greeting. If, as thou sayest, thou hast been led on unwillingly, thou wilt prove this if thou retirest willingly. Even martyrdom for the sake of preventing division would not be less roobet glorious than for refusing esatto worship idols. Nay, to me it seems greater. For per the one case per man suffers martyrdom for the sake of his own soul; con the other case sopra behalf of the entire Church. And now if thou canst persuade or induce the brethren to che esatto unanimity, thy righteousness will be greater than thine error, and this will not be counted, but that will be praised. I pray that thou mayst fare well, maintaining peace mediante the Lord.”

Per this he sets forth what seemed proper esatto him mediante regard preciso those who had fallen, and he describes the classes of transgressions. There is extant also per private letter on Repentance, which he wrote preciso Conon, bishop of the parish of Hermopolis, and another of an admonitory character, esatto his flock at Alexandria. Among them also is the one written sicuro Origen on Martyrdom and sicuro the brethren at Laodicea, of whom Thelymidres was bishop. He likewise sent one on Repentance sicuro the brethren per Armenia, of whom Merozanes was bishop. Besides all these, he wrote sicuro Cornelius of Rome, when he had received from him an epistle against Novatus. He states durante this that he had been invited by Helenus, bishop of Tarsus, mediante Cilicia, and the others who were with him, Firmilianus, bishop con Cappadocia, and Theoctistus, of

Palestine, sicuro meet them at the synod mediante Antioch, where some persons were endeavoring preciso establish the schism of Novatus. Besides this he writes that he had been informed that Fabius had fallen asleep, and that Demetrianus had been appointed his successor in the episcopate of Antioch. He writes also sopra these words concerning the bishop of Jerusalem: “For the blessed Alexander having been confined durante prison, passed away happily.” Per addenda puro this there is extant also a un other diaconal epistle of Dionysius, sent sicuro those mediante Rome through Hippolytus. And he wrote another esatto them on Peace, and likewise on Repentance; and yet another onesto the confessors there who still held onesto the opinion of anche persons after they had returned preciso the Church. And he communicated with many others by letters, which he has left behind him as a benefit mediante various ways esatto those who now diligently study his writings.

But if thou canst not prevail with the disobedient, at least save thine own soul
