and_o adam_n low_a than_o they_o be_v and_o make_v all_o other_o creature_n rebel_v against_o they_o and_o render_v they_o slave_n to_o their_o own_o passion_n it_o render_v their_o body_n obnoxious_a

fall_v from_o the_o love_n of_o god_n to_o love_v himself_o more_o than_o god_n which_o love_n be_v contrary_a to_o reason_n this_o change_n in_o his_o soul_n can_v not_o choose_v but_o work_v a_o great_a change_n in_o his_o very_a body_n and_o destroy_v its_o former_a good_a disposition_n that_o be_v fit_v to_o the_o grace_n of_o innocency_n by_o mould_v in_o it_o other_o of_o a_o contrary_a bias_n for_o we_o see_v by_o experience_n that_o our_o soul_n operation_n have_v strong_a effect_n in_o our_o body_n we_o see_v that_o when_o we_o hear_v good_a news_n the_o joy_n in_o our_o soul_n

be_v change_v not_o only_o in_o his_o soul_n but_o also_o in_o his_o very_a body_n he_o can_v not_o make_v his_o son_n body_n with_o a_o better_a disposition_n than_o his_o own_o body_n have_v which_o be_v not_o now_o dispose_v to_o be_v subject_a to_o reason_n but_o the_o quite_o contrary_a for_o the_o soul_n by_o love_v a_o other_o thing_n better_o than_o god_n carry_v the_o body_n along_o with_o it_o and_o put_v it_o into_o possession_n of_o command_n against_o reason_n and_o so_o it_o remain_v in_o rebellion_n with_o its_o proper_a motion_n independent_a of_o reason_n which_o bad_a

be_v inflict_v by_o god_n upon_o adam_n and_o upon_o all_o his_o posterity_n in_o case_n that_o he_o do_v break_v his_o commandment_n from_o whence_o it_o follow_v that_o no_o other_o soul_n can_v be_v due_a to_o such_o a_o body_n as_o adam_n make_v to_o his_o son_n but_o such_o as_o be_v deprive_v of_o original_a justice_n and_o this_o be_v that_o which_o christian_n call_v original_a sin_n to_o wit_n the_o miss_n of_o grace_n or_o original_a justice_n in_o the_o child_n as_o proceed_v from_o the_o guilt_n which_o we_o contract_v through_o the_o fault_n of_o our_o first_o father_n in_o who_o we_o all_o sin_v so_o that_o the_o want_n or_o privation_n be_v particular_a to_o every_o one_o the_o cause_n or_o actual_a sin_n only_o in_o adam_n 8._o but_o see_v that_o adam_n after_o his_o

of_o god_n his_o providence_n produce_v that_o effect_n which_o the_o first_o love_n do_v that_o find_v no_o such_o contratie_n disposition_n but_o all_o thing_n fit_v to_o itself_o nether_a can_v it_o on_o the_o sudden_a extirpate_v those_o contrary_a disposition_n but_o with_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o pain_n and_o labour_n and_o never_o whole_o because_o these_o affection_n and_o ill_a

must_v we_o come_v prepare_v to_o receive_v this_o sacrament_n the_o preparation_n due_a to_o infant_n reside_v in_o the_o church_n which_o supply_v their_o want_n of_o age_n do_v offer_v they_o up_o

must_v first_o grow_v and_o get_v strength_n before_o we_o can_v feed_v of_o solid_a meat_n such_o as_o be_v the_o holy_a eucharist_n which_o the_o holy_a father_n call_v the_o meat_n of_o the_o perfect_a lesson_n xxv_o of_o confirmation_n 1._o what_o be_v confirmation_n it_o be_v a_o sacrament_n institute_v by_o christ_n to_o confer_v unto_o our_o soul_n the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o a_o increase_n of_o our_o baptismal_a grace_n with_o a_o manly_a strength_n to_o resist_v and_o encounter_v courageous_o with_o all_o our_o ghostly_a enemy_n and_o to_o profess_v constant_o the_o faith_n

how_o do_v we_o receive_v he_o by_o this_o sacrament_n see_v that_o we_o receive_v grace_v before_o by_o baptism_n we_o receive_v he_o here_o more_o particular_o because_o by_o this_o sacrament_n his_o grace_n and_o gift_n be_v more_o radicate_v in_o our_o soul_n whereby_o we_o become_v strong_a and_o vigorous_a in_o virtue_n by_o receive_v the_o perfection_n of_o charity_n for_o the_o ghostly_a life_n which_o we_o receive_v by_o baptism_n be_v but_o weak_a and_o feeble_a in_o respect_n of_o that_o improvement_n which_o we_o receive_v by_o confirmation_n and_o so_o this_o sacrament_n be_v call_v by_o the_o holy_a father_n the_o accomplishment_n and_o perfection_n of_o baptism_n 5._o what_o be_v the_o outward_a sensible_a sign_n in_o this_o sacrament_n it_o be_v the_o anoint_v with_o holy_a chrism_n by_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o bishop_n which_o be_v call_v in_o the_o scripture_n the_o imposition_n of_o hand_n 6._o where_o do_v we_o find_v a_o promise_n of_o grace_n in_o scripture_n to_o this_o outward_a sign_n we_o find_v it_o in_o the_o 16._o chap._n of_o s._n john_n where_o christ_n tell_v his_o apostle_n that_o when_o he_o go_v away_o himself_o he_o will_v send_v the_o holy_a ghost_n unto_o they_o and_o the_o performance_n of_o this_o sacrament_n appear_v in_o the_o act_n when_o the_o holy_a ghost_n descend_v upon_o the_o apostle_n and_o when_o those_o that_o be_v baptize_v receive_v the_o holy_a ghost_n anew_o by_o the_o imposition_n of_o the_o apostle_n hand_n which_o be_v a_o sign_n that_o christ_n institute_v this_o ceremony_n for_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o the_o apostle_n can_v not_o by_o such_o a_o ceremony_n have_v give_v the_o holy_a ghost_n if_o he_o have_v not_o ordain_v it_o for_o that_o end_n 7._o what_o be_v chrism_n it_o be_v a_o holy_a ointment_n compose_v of_o oil_n and_o balm_n by_o oil_n be_v represent_v the_o strengch_n which_o we_o receive_v by_o this_o sacrament_n as_o soldier_n of_o jesus_n christ_n by_o balm_n be_v represent_v the_o effusion_n of_o all_o virtue_n by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n into_o our_o soul_n which_o send_v forth_o a_o sweet_a odour_n before_o god_n and_o angel_n as_o balm_n do_v before_o man_n whereupon_o s._n paul_n say_v that_o we_o be_v before_o god_n the_o sweet_a odour_n of_o jesus_n christ_n so_o that_o by_o this_o sacrament_n we_o become_v perfect_a member_n of_o the_o militant_a church_n and_o receive_v weapon_n and_o courage_n to_o enter_v confident_o into_o the_o battle_n which_o we_o be_v to_o undergo_v in_o this_o world_n to_o receive_v at_o last_o a_o eternal_a crown_n with_o jesus_n christ_n which_o also_o be_v signify_v by_o the_o little_a blow_n which_o the_o bishop_n give_v when_o he_o confirm_v by_o which_o sign_n he_o teach_v we_o to_o

what_o preparation_n ought_v we_o to_o receive_v this_o sacrament_n first_o we_o must_v be_v baptize_v before_o we_o receive_v it_o second_o we_o must_v be_v in_o the_o state_n of_o grace_n for_o the_o preparation_n require_v to_o all_o sacrament_n that_o be_v institute_v to_o confer_v only_o a_o increase_n of_o grace_n be_v to_o have_v the_o first_o grace_n and_o so_o those_o that_o be_v in_o

evident_a for_o as_o it_o be_v impossible_a that_o a_o dead_a body_n shall_v grow_v corporal_o so_o it_o be_v impossible_a that_o a_o dead_a soul_n shall_v grow_v spiritual_o unless_o it_o be_v first_o reviue_v 10._o be_v we_o oblige_v to_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n of_o confirmation_n yes_o we_o be_v oblige_v under_o pain_n of_o sin_n to_o seek_v it_o and_o to_o receive_v it_o if_o we_o can_v convenient_o for_o this_o much_o at_o least_o be_v gather_v out_o of_o the_o holy_a father_n who_o say_v that_o without_o it_o we_o be_v not_o perfect_a christian_n this_o sacrament_n have_v be_v institute_v by_o christ_n to_o confer_v unto_o we_o the_o plenitude_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o the_o full_a perfection_n of_o baptism_n beside_o the_o seven_o sacrament_n have_v be_v
