why_o bishop_n proper_o officer_n of_o confirmation_n sacrament_n saint_n thomas_n 3._o p._n q._n 72._o give_v two_o reason_n the_o one_o be_v because_o man_n in_o this_o sacrament_n be_v make_v soldier_n of_o christ_n camp_n and_o to_o make_v soldier_n belong_v only_o to_o the_o captain_n of_o the_o army_n as_o bishop_n be_v and_o not_o to_o inferior_a officer_n as_o priest_n be_v a_o other_o be_v because_o this_o sacrament_n be_v to_o make_v man_n perfect_a and_o therefore_o belong_v to_o bishop_n who_o be_v in_o state_n of_o perfector_n and_o of_o dispenser_n of_o god_n mystery_n and_o hereuppon_o saint_v melchiade_n epistola_fw-la cit_fw-la infer_v that_o because_o confirmation_n can_v be_v give_v only_o by_o high_a priest_n that_o be_v bishop_n and_o baptism_n can_v be_v give_v by_o inferior_a priest_n therefore_o confirmation_n be_v more_o to_o be_v reverence_v and_o esteem_v baptism_n confirmation_n prefer_v before_o baptism_n then_o baptism_n and_o saint_n thomas_n q._n cit_fw-la add_v because_o this_o sacrament_n be_v of_o more_o efficacy_n to_o perfect_a in_o good_a than_o baptism_n therefore_o it_o be_v commit_v to_o a_o more_o worthy_a minister_n the_o sixth_o prerogative_n of_o confirmation_n the_o nobleness_n of_o the_o matter_n of_o confirmation_n confirmation_n be_v take_v from_o the_o nobleness_n of_o the_o matter_n thereof_o for_o whereas_o the_o matter_n of_o baptism_n be_v simple_a water_n and_o of_o extreme_a unction_n simple_a oil_n the_o necessary_a matter_n of_o this_o sacrament_n be_v chrism_n that_o be_v a_o mix_v or_o compound_v ointment_n of_o oil_n and_o balm_n which_o be_v a_o most_o precious_a liquor_n and_o rare_a to_o be_v find_v and_o as_o pliny_n say_v l._n 12._o c._n 25._o to_o be_v prefer_v before_o all_o odour_n and_o beside_o this_o chrism_n must_v be_v hallow_v by_o a_o bishop_n for_o thus_o declare_v the_o council_n of_o florence_n the_o matter_n of_o chrism_n be_v make_v of_o oil_n which_o signify_v the_o cleanenes_n of_o the_o conscience_n and_o of_o balm_n which_o signify_v the_o odour_n of_o good_a fame_n hallow_v by_o a_o bishop_n and_o as_o suarez_n say_v tom_n 4._o d._n 33._o art_n 2._o it_o be_v of_o necessity_n of_o the_o sacrament_n that_o chrism_n be_v hallow_v of_o a_o bishop_n and_o it_o be_v the_o opinion_n of_o all_o divine_n few_o except_v and_o in_o like_a manner_n sotus_n in_o 4._o d._n 7._o q._n v._o art_n 2._o say_v it_o be_v the_o general_a opinion_n almost_o of_o all_o that_o the_o mixture_n of_o balm_n be_v of_o the_o substance_n of_o the_o sacrament_n and_o it_o must_v needs_o argue_v a_o great_a dignity_n of_o this_o sacrament_n that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n will_v require_v for_o the_o necessary_a matter_n of_o it_o so_o rare_a and_o precious_a a_o liquor_n and_o also_o the_o hallow_v thereof_o by_o his_o chief_a officer_n and_o governor_n of_o his_o church_n the_o seven_o prerogative_n minister_v the_o nobleness_n of_o the_o part_n whereon_o confirmation_n be_v minister_v be_v that_o whereas_o other_o sacrament_n be_v minister_v in_o other_o part_n of_o our_o body_n confirmation_n can_v be_v minister_v only_o in_o the_o chief_a and_o high_a part_n thereof_o that_o be_v in_o the_o forehead_n this_o well_o note_a saint_n austin_n in_o psalm_n 14._o in_o these_o word_n many_o sacrament_n we_o receive_v in_o other_o and_o other_o manner_n for_o some_o we_o receive_v with_o our_o mouth_n other_z through_o all_o our_o body_n but_o because_o we_o blush_v with_o our_o forehead_n he_o that_o say_v who_o shall_v be_v ashamed_a of_o i_o etc._n

that_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n of_o confirmation_n as_o for_o their_o disposition_n in_o soul_n first_o be_v soul_n disposition_n in_o soul_n require_v that_o they_o have_v be_v christen_v because_o baptism_n be_v the_o foundation_n of_o all_o sacrament_n and_o particular_o require_v before_o confirmation_n because_o this_o be_v the_o perfection_n and_o compliment_n of_o baptism_n second_o they_o must_v be_v in_o state_n of_o grace_n or_o at_o least_o not_o guilty_a of_o the_o state_n of_o mortal_a sin_n because_o this_o sacrament_n be_v institute_v to_o increase_v grace_n

curiosity_n or_o that_o he_o may_v say_v he_o have_v be_v bishoped_a but_o with_o a_o purpose_n to_o become_v a_o perfect_a christian_a then_o he_o be_v before_o more_o courageous_a in_o profess_v of_o christ_n faith_n and_o more_o thankful_a to_o god_n who_o bestow_v this_o great_a sacrament_n on_o the_o church_n to_o christ_n who_o purchase_v it_o with_o the_o price_n of_o his_o precious_a

have_v worthy_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n of_o confirmation_n see_v that_o god_n grace_n be_v never_o idle_a except_o it_o be_v our_o fault_n but_o ever_o like_o fire_n active_a and_o work_a and_o that_o the_o grace_n of_o confirmation_n be_v of_o child_n to_o make_v we_o man_n in_o christ_n and_o of_o ordinary_a christian_n to_o make_v we_o choose_v and_o courageous_a soldier_n if_o we_o consider_v what_o be_v the_o difference_n betwixt_o a_o child_n man_n difference_n betwixt_o a_o child_n and_o a_o man_n and_o a_o man_n and_o betwixt_o a_o ordinary_a man_n and_o a_o soldier_n we_o shall_v gather_v whether_o we_o have_v receive_v the_o grace_n of_o confirmation_n or_o no._n a_o child_n therefore_o look_v only_o to_o thing_n present_a a_o man_n look_v also_o to_o thing_n to_o come_v a_o child_n only_o attend_v to_o pastime_n and_o pleasure_n a_o man_n have_v also_o consideration_n of_o profit_n a_o child_n be_v ready_a to_o sell_v his_o inheritance_n for_o a_o trifle_n or_o babble_n a_o man_n make_v more_o account_n of_o his_o inheritance_n a_o child_n have_v childish_a behaviour_n a_o man_n have_v more_o mature_a and_o decent_a carriage_n and_o in_o like_a manner_n a_o ordinary_a soldier_n betwixt_o a_o ordinary_a man_n &_o a_o soldier_n man_n be_v fearful_a not_o only_o of_o great_a but_o also_o of_o small_a danger_n and_o not_o only_o of_o true_a danger_n but_o also_o of_o shadow_n a_o soldier_n adventure_v upon_o pike_n upon_o canon_n upon_o breach_n upon_o what_o danger_n soever_o prefer_v the_o honour_n of_o his_o profession_n and_o quarrel_n of_o his_o prince_n before_o his_o life_n wherefore_o if_o after_o confirmation_n confirmation_n when_o one_o have_v unworthe_o receive_v confirmation_n we_o be_v as_o childish_a in_o condition_n as_o we_o be_v before_o think_v as_o much_o of_o this_o world_n and_o as_o little_a of_o the_o world_n to_o come_v as_o before_o we_o do_v be_v as_o much_o give_v to_o vain_a pastime_n and_o pleasure_n and_o

and_o final_o be_v as_o childish_a in_o our_o conversation_n and_o imperfection_n as_o before_o and_o likewise_o if_o we_o be_v after_o confirmation_n so_o fearful_a of_o persecution_n and_o trouble_n for_o profession_n of_o christ_n true_a faith_n as_o we_o be_v before_o it_o be_v great_o to_o be_v fear_v that_o in_o vain_a we_o receive_v the_o grace_n of_o this_o sacrament_n as_o saint_n paul_n speak_v or_o rather_o have_v receive_v the_o sacrament_n but_o not_o the_o grace_n thereof_o but_o contrariwise_o if_o after_o we_o be_v confirm_v we_o find_v worthy_o when_o worthy_o ourselves_o to_o thinkelesse_a of_o thing_n present_a and_o more_o of_o the_o world_n to_o come_v of_o the_o eternal_a reward_n of_o virtue_n and_o the_o everlasting_a punishment_n of_o sin_n if_o we_o scorn_v to_o sell_v our_o heavenly_a inheritance_n for_o trifle_n of_o this_o world_n if_o we_o be_v more_o attentive_a to_o our_o spiritual_a profit_n and_o to_o lay_v up_o treasure_n in_o heaven_n if_o our_o conversation_n towards_o god_n and_o the_o world_n be_v more_o discreet_a more_o mature_a and_o grave_n we_o may_v just_o hope_v that_o we_o have_v worthy_o receive_v this_o sacrament_n and_o say_v with_o the_o apostle_n when_o i_o be_v a_o child_n i_o think_v as_o a_o child_n but_o be_v now_o become_v a_o man_n i_o have_v cast_v away_o that_o which_o be_v childish_a and_o the_o same_o we_o
