Oecumenius, on Acts 8:36

“And as they went on their way, they came to a certain water; and the eunuch said: See, here is water: what doth hinder me from being baptized?”

“It should be observed that great zeal existed among Christians entirely for the sensible baptism. Since what is given is twofold, sometimes through water, sometimes in the Holy Spirit and fire, they did not despise the more bodily one on account of the superiority of the baptism in the Spirit. For this also contributes to salvation and to the resurrection of the body. [DIDYMUS]”
