Bingham’s observation, that Cyril describes this first unction as used “between the renunciation and the confession Ant. XI. c. 9, § 1.” is not quite accurate:  in fact it came between two confessions, the one made, as we have seen, immediately after the renunciation in the outer chamber, the other at the very time of immersion.  Chrysostom Ephes. i. Hom. i. § 3. clearly distinguishes two Confessions, but places one before Baptism, and the other after:  “What can be more beautiful than the words by which we renounce the devil?  Or those by which we associate ourselves with Christ?  Than that confession which comes before the washing?  Or that which comes after the washing?”
