Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Works of John Jewel, D. D, Vol. 8 of 8: Bishop of Salisbury
So, when in baptism our bodies are washed with water, we are taught that our souls are washed in the blood of Christ. The outward washing or sprinkling doth represent the sprin kling and washing which is wrought within us: the water doth signify the blood of Christ. If we were nothing else but soul, he would give us his grace barely and alone, with out joining it to any creature, as he doth to his angels: but seeing our spirit is drowned in our body, and our ?esh doth make our understanding dull; therefore we receive his grace by sensible things.
