In, xxi; PL. 26, 150-2. "PL. 26, 52-3. 60 A HISTORY OF SIMONY (xix^ 16-23) as receiving the teaching of our Lord with insufficient generosity, walked away sad, be- cause, like Simon Magus, he expected the per- formance of miracles to be a source of revenue. So far as Augustine is concerned, ^^ it will suflSce to note as a detail of Christian symbolism and a more direct application of Matthew (xxi^ 12) to simony, the fact that for him the dove which figures in the traffic in the temple, represen...ts the Holy Ghost. The earliest ecclesiastical legislation concerning simony, so far as we know, comes from Spain. J^The forty-eighth canon of Elvira, the oldest council (c. 300) of which we have any canons reads as follows: " We decree the abolition of the custom, prevailing among those who receive baptism, of placing a pe- cuniary offering in the shell (used to baptize), lest the bishop appear to distribute for a fee what he freely received. Nor are the feet of the newly- baptized to be washed by either bishop or clergy.
