I grant, the Ancient Learned Fathers, entreating of the Sacraments, have often used vehement, 1and great words. It is written in the Council of Nice, Vides Aquam? Considera Vim Divinam, quae in Aquis Latet. Puta, Aquam esse plenā Ignis Divini. Seest thou the Water? Consider the divine Power that lieth Hid in the Water, Imagine, that the Water is full of Heavenly Fire. So S. Ambrose, Spiritus Sanctus descendit,2 & Aquam consecrat. Addest Praesentia Trinitatis: The Holy Ghost cometh down, and halloweth the Water. There is the Presence of the Trinity. So saith Tertullian, In Baptismo tingimur Passione Christi: In Baptisme we are washed with the Passion of Christ. So saith Chrysostom, as M. Harding hath here alleged him, Baptism is full of Power, and Grace: So saith S. Cyprian: so say others.
