"If you are tempted, reverently sign yourself on the forehead. For this sign of the passion is displayed against the Devil..., putting it forward like a breastplate. For if the Adversary sees the power of the Spirit ( from the heart ) being outwardly demonstrated in the likeness of baptism, he will flee away trembling, not because you spat on him but because you breathed on him." (Hippolytus, 42A, p. 24)
