mortal_a sin_n and_o grace_n can_v stand_v together_o in_o the_o same_o subject_n and_o therefore_o the_o church_n may_v prudent_o presume_v that_o such_o sinful_a contract_n be_v not_o institute_v by_o christ_n as_o sacrament_n first_o i_o answer_v that_o the_o romanist_n themselves_o must_v solve_v this_o objection_n for_o they_o all_o grant_v that_o clandestine_v marriage_n be_v sacrament_n and_o valid_a contract_n ever_o before_o the_o council_n of_o trent_n and_o be_v so_o still_o in_o england_n and_o saxony_n and_o yet_o they_o ever_o be_v and_o still_o be_v unlawful_a which_o

second_o i_o answer_v that_o the_o circumstance_n of_o contract_v clandestine_o be_v whole_o extrinsical_a to_o the_o contract_n and_o therefore_o can_v never_o alter_v the_o nature_n nor_o essence_n of_o it_o for_o circumstance_n make_v no_o change_n in_o the_o substance_n and_o this_o be_v common_a to_o all_o sacrament_n for_o whoever_o receive_v any_o sacrament_n may_v out_o of_o the_o pravity_n of_o his_o own_o will_n add_v some_o unlawful_a circumstance_n to_o it_o or_o receive_v it_o when_o his_o soul_n be_v contaminate_v with_o sin_n but_o we_o must_v not_o hence_o conclude_v that_o this_o deordinate_a proceed_n of_o the_o receiver_n lay_v any_o infection_n upon_o the_o sacrament_n who_o complete_a substance_n and_o essence_n be_v whole_o independent_a of_o the_o circumstance_n which_o be_v extrinsical_a to_o it_o true_a it_o be_v that_o all_o sacrament_n produce_v grace_n as_o also_o that_o grace_n and_o deadly_a sin_n be_v whole_o inconsistent_a and_o therefore_o whosoever_o receive_v a_o sacrament_n when_o he_o be_v actual_o in_o sin_n put_v a_o obstacle_n to_o the_o effect_n of_o the_o sacrament_n and_o can_v then_o receive_v any_o grace_n by_o it_o because_o sin_n make_v he_o liable_a to_o the_o pain_n of_o hell_n and_o grace_n give_v he_o who_o soul_n it_o inform_v a_o right_a to_o glory_n and_o because_o these_o two_o be_v incompatible_a therefore_o grace_n and_o sin_n that_o be_v the_o necessary_a cause_n of_o they_o mutual_o exclude_v each_o other_o from_o the_o same_o soul_n yet_o they_o general_o teach_v in_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n that_o when_o the_o obstacle_n be_v remove_v and_o the_o soul_n purge_v from_o sin_n that_o then_o the_o sacrament_n revive_v and_o produce_v that_o grace_n which_o by_o the_o original_a institution_n be_v annex_v to_o it_o and_o this_o doctrine_n they_o also_o apply_v to_o moral_a action_n in_o reference_n to_o inherent_a and_o sanctify_a grace_n which_o they_o merit_v for_o when_o one_o fall_v into_o sin_n he_o lose_v all_o that_o habitual_a grace_n which_o he_o possess_v before_o his_o fall_n it_o be_v inconsistent_a with_o sin_n but_o when_o he_o be_v again_o restore_v to_o the_o state_n of_o grace_n than_o his_o merit_n revive_v to_o render_v he_o the_o same_o quantity_n of_o sanctify_a grace_n which_o he_o before_o have_v lose_v by_o sin_n so_o be_v it_o in_o those_o that_o contract_n clandestine_v marriage_n if_o invincible_a ignorance_n do_v not_o excuse_v they_o they_o sin_n and_o receive_v no_o inherent_a and_o sanctify_a grace_n till_o sin_n which_o be_v the_o obstacle_n be_v remove_v and_o in_o the_o same_o moment_n that_o this_o be_v do_v the_o sacrament_n revive_v and_o produce_v in_o their_o soul_n its_o due_a proportion_n of_o habitual_a and_o
