But the better to disclose the sensible grossness of this error, I trust, Gentle Reader, it shall not be neither painful, nor unprofitable for thee, to consider a few other such examples, and phrases of speech, commonly, and familiarly used by the Catholic Learned Fathers to like purpose. Therefore, as Chrysostom saith, we receive in the Holy Mysteries the Only begotten Son of God, meaning by Faith Only, not by Mouthe, even so he writeth of the Sacrament of Baptisme,1 Si quis tibi Purpuram, aut Diadema dedisset, nonne prae quovis auro accepisses? Ego verò tibi non Ornatum Regium tribuam, sed ipsum Regem induendum exhibeo. Et quomodò, inquies, Christum poterit quis induere? Audi, quid Paulus dicat: Quotquot in Christum Baptizati estis, Christum industis: If any man had given thee a Princely Robe, or a Crown, wouldest thou not set more by it, then by any Gold? But I will give thee, not a Princely Robe, but the Prince him self, to put upon thee. Thou wilt say, how may a man put on Christ upon him? Hear, what S. Paul saith: As many of you, as are Baptized in Christ, have put on Christ. S. Cyril saithe, Discant omnes, 2ne, antequam firmiores sint Catechumeni, Christum eis, antequam oporteat, Baptismi Mysterio commendent•: Let all men take heed, that they deliver not Christ, in the Sacrament of Baptism, unto the Beginners, or Novices, before they be strong in the Faith, and before it be convenient.
