Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers: Series II/Volume VI/The Letters of St. Jerome/Letter 142

Letter CXLII. To Augustine.

There is good ground for supposing this to form part of the previous letter. If so, Jerome speaks in a figure of the success gained by Pelagianism in Palestine. &#8220;Jerusalem,&#8221; he says, &#8220;is in the hands of Nebuchadnezzar and will not heed the voice of Jeremiah,&#8221; that is, as the context shews, Jerome himself. This letter is among those of Augustine, number 123.
