Patristic Quote for the Day

"I am not bound by the authority of this epistle because I do not hold the writings of Cyprian as canonical, but I consider them according to the canonical, and I accept whatever in them agrees with the authority of the divine Scriptures with his approval, but what does not agree I reject with his permission." - Saint Augustine, *Contra Cresconium* Book 2, chapter 32 (cited by Chemnitz in *Examen* I:174)
