The reverence, that M. Harding presumeth, was given only to this Sacrament, was given likewise, and in as ample sort to the Sacrament of Baptism. And, as the Catechument were sequestered from the presence, and sight of the one Sacrament, so were they also sequestered from the other. In the Council holden at Arausica1 it is written thus: Catechumeni ad Baptisterium nunquam admittendi sunt: The Catechum•ni may never be admitted to the place of Baptism. S. Chrysostom, touching the words of Baptism, writeth thus:2 Verba Dei, quae norunt Fideles, in Aquae Lavacro per Sacerdotem pronuntiata, tanquam in utero quodam, Formant, ac Regenerant eum, qui Baptizatur: The words of God, which the Faithful know, being pronounced by the Priest in the Water of Baptism, do Form, and Regenerate him, that is Baptized, as if it were in the Mothers womb. 3Likewise again he saith, Cupiam sanè, verba illa clarè proferre &c. Fain would I in plain sort utter these words (of Baptism) if the presence of these ungodly men, the Heathens, did not let me. They cause my interpretation to be the harder: I may not speck plainly, nor publish our Mysteries because of them.

To like purpose S. Augustine
