That such baptism, accompanied with the mortifying
of the flesh, and resurrection unto a new life,
is taught and commended by Origen, is clearly expressed
in his comments on Rom. 6:3: “Know ye
not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus
Christ were baptized into his death?” where he
says: “But it seems to me that the apostle in this
chapter does not prefix even the words: ‘Know ye
not’ without a purpose. He thereby proves that at
that time, that is, in the days of the apostles, it was
not as it is now, that those who were baptized,
received only the outward figure of the mysteries,
but that also the power and intent of the same was
imparted to them, and this to those who understood
it, and had been instructed concerning it: that those
who are baptized, are baptized into the death of
Christ, and buried with him by baptism; and that
those who are baptized must walk in newness of
life, even as Christ rose from the dead, through the
glory of the Father.” Also, H. Mont. page 37.

This is certainly expressing plainly and unequivocally,
of what baptism he is treating,[97](/en/stories/mm-footnotes/part-9/#Footnote_97) namely, of
such a baptism, of which the power and intent was
imparted to those who understood it; by which
they were buried into the death; by which they
were raised, to walk in newness of life, etc., all of
which are things that cannot be comprehended,
much less undertaken and carried out, by infants.
In this manner he speaks also in other places, as,
for instance, in Homilia 5, 4th and 5th chapters of
the book Joshua. Again, Homil. 9, 8th and 9th
chapters; Homil. 15, 11th chap. Also, Homil. 7,
15th chap. of the book of Judges. B. Hist. p. 291.
