Saint Augustine (354-430)

Against the Letters of Petilian

Translated by J. R. King

Book II

Chapter 24


Petilian said: “But you will answer that you abide by the same declaration, ‘He that is once washed needeth not save to wash his feet.’ Now the ‘once’ is once that has authority, once that is confirmed by the truth.”

Augustine answered: Baptism in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost has Christ for its authority, not any man, whoever he may be; and Christ is the truth, not any man.
