23. Then one was healed, now all are made whole; or more exactly, the Christian people alone, for in some even the water is deceitful. Jer. xv. 18. The baptism of unbelievers heals not but pollutes. The Jew washes pots and cups, as though things without sense were capable of guilt or grace. But do you wash this living cup of yours, that in it your good works may shine and the glory of your grace be bright. For that pool was as a type, that you might believe that the power of God descends upon this font.
