Second Distinction. Second Part. About the Unity of Baptism
Question Three. Whether the Unity of Baptism Requires the Baptizer to be Distinct in Person from the Baptized
I. To the Question

I. To the Question

83. This question is expressly solved in Decretals [n.82] for the affirmative side.

84. For this is adduced a figure there and an authority and a fitting reason.

A figure because “to designate it Christ himself wished to be baptized, not by himself, but by John the Baptist” [Matthew 3.13.-17].

85. The authority is gathered from the words of the Lord saying to the Apostles: “Go, baptize all peoples in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit” [Matthew 28.19], where he expresses the disciples in one person and the baptized in another.

86. The reason is because it is insinuated there that in baptism a certain spiritual kinship is contracted between generating and generated, “about which the Truth says, “You must be born again” [John 3.7].

87. “Just as then in carnal generation, he who generates carnally is one and he who is carnally generated is another, so too in sacramental generation.. .he who spiritually generates should be one and he who is spiritually generated should be another” [n.82].
