reason_n of_o it_o be_v because_o by_o these_o sacrament_n man_n make_v a_o gift_n of_o himself_o and_o his_o service_n to_o god_n according_a to_o the_o several_a condition_n of_o the_o state_n whereunto_o he_o be_v addict_v by_o each_o sacrament_n whereby_o he_o be_v no_o more_o at_o his_o own_o dispose_n in_o that_o respect_n which_o as_o i_o say_v before_o he_o do_v in_o baptism_n as_o a_o servant_n to_o a_o master_n of_o a_o family_n in_o confirmation_n as_o a_o soldier_n to_o his_o general_n in_o a_o army_n in_o order_n as_o a_o marry_a man_n to_o propagate_v his_o church_n now_o no_o man_n can_v give_v any_o thing_n but_o that_o which_o be_v his_o own_o and_o therefore_o he_o who_o have_v once_o give_v himself_o to_o god_n any_o of_o these_o way_n can_v give_v himself_o again_o to_o he_o the_o same_o way_n that_o be_v in_o respect_n of_o the_o same_o service_n for_o which_o he_o give_v himself_o before_o and_o so_o it_o be_v a_o sacrilege_n to_o reiterate_v these_o
