Rainoldes. If this gate of hell prevailed not against them in S. Austins time: yet many things may happen between the cup and the lip, (as the proverb is,) much more between his time and ou•s. But S. Austin meant not to speak of usurping in that against the Donatists: and if he had, he learned by ⟨p. 448⟩experience afterward, that they could usurp, and would, if they were not curbed. For three of them, even Zosimus, Boniface, and Caelestin did usurp over the Churches of Africa while Austin was alive yet: who with the whole Council of above two hundred Bishops of that country, withstood their attempt as much as lay in him, and stayed their pride.
