35 [Augustine here understands "Sheol," to denote the place of retribution for the wicked.-W.G.T.S.].
50 [In the case of knowledge that is remembered, there is something latent and potential-as when past acquisitions are recalled by a voluntary act of recollection. The same is true of innate ideas-these also are latent, and brought into consciousness by reflection. But no man can either remember, or elicit, his original holiness and blessedness, because this is not latent and potential, but wholly lost by the fall-W.G.T.S.]
64 [Justification is instantaneous: sanctification is gradual. Baptism is the sign, not the cause, of the former. "As many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ, were baptized with reference to (ei0j) his death;" and "are intombed with him by the baptism that has reference to (ei0j) his death." Rom. vi. 3, 4. According to St. Paul, baptism supposes a trust in the atonement of Christ, and is a seal of it. In saying that "the forgiveness of all thine iniquity takes place in baptism," Augustine is liable to be understood as teaching the efficiency of baptism in producing forgiveness. This is the weak side of the Post Nicene soteriology.-W.G.T.S.].
