Thus when he is met by the criticism, " How foolish and impossible that men should be re-created by water, " he takes it that what is meant is that water was not a material of sufficient prestige (auctorilas) to deserve to be medium for so high a function. It does not occur to him that a Divine effect may be attained through simple material means by another method, more indirect indeed than the actual transmission of grace through matter, but more of a piece with God's usual psychological metho...d of reaching the rational soul, viz. , direct action of God's Spirit upon the soul from within, yet through conditioning sense-im- pressions produced by material objects from without. Similarly as to the Eucharist, Christians were pro- foundly conscious of spiritual quickening in and through the Holy Communion, the central act of which was partaking of bread and wine in remem- brance of Christ's passion. Hence those elements, as consecrated to this sacramental use, were to them as the body and blood of Him who suffered for men's salvation.
