Book II. Chap.50,
On the Following Treatise,
|De gratia christi, et de peccato originali.|
|After the conviction and condemnation of the Pelagian heresy with its authors by the bishops of the Church of Rome, -- first Innocent, and then Zosimus, -- with the co-operation of letters of African councils, I wrote two books against them: one On the Grace of Christ, and the other On Original Sin. The work began with the following words: How greatly we rejoice on account of your bodily, and, above all, because of your Spiritual welfare.'|
