To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
And Holy Baptism is at once God's appointed means and instrument to this end ; and also His signal to man of the place where, and the time when it pleases Him to perform this great work of recreation. But, " as sap will not flow from the healthiest tree into a branch which is dead and incapable of receiving it," so if there be death in the soul of the adult, that is to say, actual sin not repented of, the Divine life will not flow into the soul, even though the man be grafted into Christ. But i...f (as in the case of infants) there be no actual sin, or if in the case of an adult, there be repentance for his actual sins, then the way is open and the new life enters. There must, then, at least be in the man prior to Baptism, first, not indeed supernatural faith, but what we may call the beginnings and preparations for infused faith; secondly, a sorrow for his past sins ; and thirdly, a determination to amend. And these three stirrings of life are effected, we repeat, by those general pre- venient and cooperative graces of the Spirit, which were never withdrawn from the race, but which en- lighten "every man that cometh into the world." Thus, the function of the general operations Digitized by VjOOQ IC OPERATION OF THE SPIRIT IN BAPTISM, 8/ of the Holy Ghost is to draw the man into the realm of the Church; where not only the Human Nature of our Lord is in full play, but also the special and stronger influences of the Holy Spirit Who fills that Human Nature.
