Excerpt from Origines Ecclesiasticæ, Vol. 4 of 9: Or the Antiquities of the Christian Church, and Other Works, of the Rev. Joseph Bingham Sect. I. - Confirmation anciently given immediately after Baptism if the Bishop were present. Immediately after the persons came up out of the water, if the bishop was present at the solemnity, they were presented to him, in order to receive his benediction, which was a solemn prayer for the descent of the Holy Ghost upon such as were baptized. But by all these names they understood one and the same thing, which was the bishop's prayer for the descent of the Spirit upon persons newly baptized.
