35.  Beware lest ever like Simon thou come to the dispensers of Baptism in hypocrisy, thy heart the while not seeking the truth.  It is ours to protest, but it is thine to secure thyself.  If thou standest in faith Rom. xi. 20., blessed art thou; if thou hast fallen in unbelief, from this day forward cast away thine unbelief, and receive full assurance.  For, at the season of baptism, when thou art come before the Bishops, or Presbyters, or Deacons Cf. Bingham, Antiquities, II. xx. 9.  “When Cyril directs his Catechumens how they should behave themselves at the time of Baptism, when they came either before a bishop, or presbyter, or deacon, in city or village,—this may be presumed a fair intimation that then deacons were ordinarily allowed to minister Baptism in country places.”  See further ‘Of the power granted anciently to deacons to baptize,’ Bingham, Lay Baptism, I. i. 5.,—(for its grace is everywhere, in villages and in cities, on them of low as on them of high degree, on bondsmen and on freemen, for this grace is not of men, but the gift is from God through men,)—approach the Minister of Baptism, but approaching, think not of the face of him thou seest, but remember this Holy Ghost of whom we are now speaking.  For He is present in readiness to seal thy soul, and He shall give thee that Seal at which evil spirits tremble, a heavenly and sacred seal, as also it is written, In whom also ye believed, and were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise Eph. i. 13.  Cf. Cat. i. 2, 3..
