Is the formula in which 'mention of the Church is necessarily added' the same as the ' benediction ' in which 'the Divine names' occur (i.e. the baptismal formula); or is it another form of words, contrasted with the first, and consisting of the (interrogative) baptismal creed? What is the connexion between the two sentences? Is the 'autem' adversative, or is it merely connective? The answers to these questions may be combined in a variety of ways. If we take first the question of the form or forms of words, it seems certain that there was never any explicit mention of the Church in the actual formula of Baptism. If therefore Tertullian in the second sentence is still speaking of the act of Baptism itself, the 'mentio ecclesiae' must be a tacit mention, necessarily implied in the mention of the Trinity. This would be quite in accordance with Tertullian's views: compare the passage from de Orat. quoted in the next note. The word 'necessario' is itself somewhat in favour of this view. On the other hand the phrase ' adicitur ecclesiae mentio' would most naturally be taken to mean an explicit mention; in which case the form of words referred to must be something other than the baptismal formula, and can only be the baptismal creed. Against this view it may be said that Tertullian's creed is generally supposed not to have contained a mention of the Church (see the passages in Hahn's Bibliothek derSymaole, p. 2 foll ). But the evidence, which is purely negative, is hardly conclusive. Certainly by the time of Cyprian the baptismal interrogation in Africa included mention of the Church (Cypr. E). lxx 2). If the latter view is correct, Tertullian contrasts the c...
