Here again are several items from which we may
perceive that in the church of which Chrysostom
was bishop or teacher, baptism was administered
after previous instruction, and upon faith. For, in
the first place, mention is made of the time in which
this took place, namely, shortly before Easter, in
the week of confession. Any one who has but a
little experience, will find that that was the time
and week in which it was customary to instruct the
candidates before baptism, hear the confession of
their faith, and properly examine them, in order to
baptize them on the following Easter days. In the
second place, mention is made of those who were to
be baptized, and had received sufficient instruction
for it; which so plainly illustrates what we have
aimed to show, namely, that baptism at that time
was administered after previous instruction, that we
deem it unnecessary to add anything further with
regard to it, and, hence, let it suffice.
