Therefore, (we say) express faith is required in all of years, but in infants, only faith begun or in his first principle or root, namely the Holy Spirit, with which they are endowed, and from whom faith and other graces, in due time, do flow and issue forth. For infants are purged by the Spirit, seeing they are in the Church, and of the Church. Christ sanctified His Church, purging it in the laver of water through the Word. If then they belong to the Church, they are adorned with the Spirit; if they are received up into heaven, they are then purged by the Spirit.”
