"De-la-vint, que pour devenir capable d'entendre les secrets de la
creation, reveles dans ces memes mysteres, il fallut se faire
_regenerer_ par _l'initiation_. Cette ceremonie, par laquelle, _on
apprenoit les vrais principes de la vie_, s'operoit par le moyen de
_l'eau_ qui voit ete celui de la _regeneration_ du monde. On conduisoit
sur les bords de l'Ilissus le candidat qui devoit etre initie; apres
l'avoir purifie avec le sel et l'eau de la mer, on repandoit de l'orge
sur lui, on le couronnoit de fleurs, et _l'Hydranos_ ou le _Baptisseur_
le plongeoit dans le fleuve." (D'Ancarville: Res., vol. i. p. 292.

[325:1] That man is born in _original sin_ seems to have been the belief
of all nations of antiquity, especially the Hindus. This sense of
original corruption is expressed in the following prayer, used by them:

"I am sinful, I commit sin, my nature is sinful, _I am conceived in
sin_. Save me, O thou lotus-eyed Heri, the remover of Sin." (Williams'
Hinduism, p. 214.)
