So likewise saith Nazianzenus,1 Mysterium (Baptismi) maius est, quàm ea quae videntar. The Mystery of Baptism is greater, then it appeareth to the eye. So S. Ambrose, Aliud est, quod Visibiliter agitur: aliud quod Inuisibiliter celebratur. In Baptism there is one thing done Visibly to the eye: an other thing is wrought Invisibly to the mind.

Again he saith,1 Ne Solis Corporis tui oculis credas: magis videtur, quod non videtur, &c. Believe not only thy bodily eyes (in this Sacrament of Baptism) the thing that is not seen, is better seen: The thing, that thou seest, is corruptible: The thing, that thou seest not, is for ever.2 To be short, in consideration of these Invisible effects, Tertullian saith, The holy Ghost cometh down, and halloweth the Water. S. Basil saith, The Kingdom of Heaven is there set open: Chrysostom saith, God him self in Baptism,3 by his Invisible Power holdeth thy head. S. Ambrose saith, The Water hath the Grace of Christ: in it is the Presence of the Trinity. S. Bernard saith, Lavemur in Sanguine eius: Let us be washed in his Blood.
