Tertullian,
Ante-Nicene Fathers Vol. III, Ethical…
(1885)
“ Let none think it was with some other, because no other exists, except that of Christ subsequently; which at that time, of course, could not be given by His disciples, inasmuch as the glory of the Lord had not yet been fully attained, [3] nor the efficacy of the font [4] established through the passion and the resurrection; because neither can our death see dissolution except by the Lord’s passion, nor our life be restored without His resurrection. ”
