Bilson proueth by the auctoritie of Caluin holy orders or creating ministers as he tearmeth it to be a Sacrament which Caluin doth not only affirme but proue if the other cite him truly by these reasones because it is a visible signe with grace Protestans positions Holy orders wherby power i● giuē to minister other Sacramēt● and exercise other ecclesiasticall functiones is not properly truly a Sacrament of the newe lawe OF EXTREAME vnctione THe anoylinge of the sicke with the forme of wordes ioyned ther with vsed in the Catholique Roman churche is truly and properly a Sacrament of the newe lawe Proofe It is a sensible signe with the effect of inuisible grace therfore properly a Sacrament Proofe 1.

Augustine to omit other fathers saythe thus of this Sacrament In the mariage of our people meaninge Christianes the holiness of the Sacrament is of more worth● thē the fertilitie of the wombe Agayne The good of mariage in all natione● and men is in the cause of procreation and fayth of chastitie but for as mu●● as pertaynethe the people of god it is 〈◊〉 in the holines of the Sacrament which places besides others manifestly shewe that he speakethe of a Sacrament properly for els these sayinges were not true Protestant Position Matrimonie contracted betwixt Christianes is but a bare ciuill contract and not anie Sacrament properlye OF THE EFFECT OF the Sacraments Catholique Position 1. THe Sacrament of Baptisme as it is a Sacrament of the ●ewe lawe therfore all the Sacramēts of the newe lawe giueth grace ex opere operato or of the worke it self or is the true cause of grace in those that receaue it worthilie which is to giue grace ex opere operato or of the worke wrought and is not onely a signe or a seale of godes good will to vs or a bare meanes to stir fayth vp in vs as the preaching of the Gospell is Proofe 1. Vnless man be borne agayne of water and the spirit he cannot enter into the kingdome of god Loe here our regeneration ascribed to Baptism as to a true cause 2. Doe pennance and be euerie one of 〈◊〉 baptised in the n●me of Iesus Christ 〈◊〉 remissiō of your sinnes Loehere remission of sinnes atributed to baptisme as to a true cause as yf one should saye take medecin for your health The like or more

playne is that Rise vp and be baptised and washe away thy sinnes inuocating his name 3. Not by the workes of iustice which wee did but according to his mercie h● hath saued vs by the lauer of regeneration and renouation of the holy ghost Loe here wee are saued by baptisme 4. wherunto Baptisme being of the like forme now saueth you also As Noë saythe S. Augustine with his was deliuered by the w●t●r ●nd the woode So the family of Christ by baptisme signed w●th the p●ssion on the Crosse Protestantes position Nether baptisme nor the other Sacramentes of the newe lawe giue grace as cause therof but are onely signes of gods good will towardes vs or meanes to stire vp faythe in vs. CHARACTER Catholique position THe Sacrament of Baptisme Confirmation and orders besides the grace which they giue doe make and leaue a signe or seale in the soule of the receauer which after S. Augustine is ordinarily called a Character Proofe And he that confirmethe vs with you in Christ and that hath anoynted vs god whoe also hath sealed vs. of S. Augustines Doctrine cōcerninge this matter M. Fulke sayth thus S. Augustin doth righely conuince the Douatistes that the Sacrament of Baptisme ought not to be reiterated because it is the Scale or character of regeneration which beinge once giuen by godes ordinance is not to be repeated the like he sayth of ordination Protestans positions Nether Baptisme nor anie other Sacrament of the new lawe doe leaue anie signe mark or character in the soule of the receauer THE 13. CONTROVERsie Of Iustification Catholique positions IVstification is the translation of sinners from the state of sinne vnto the state of grace and adoptione of the Childrē of God and therfore consisteth not in the bare remission of synnes but in true sanctification and renouation of spirit Proofe Giuing thankes to god and the father whoe hath made vs worthye vnto the parte of the lott of the saintes in the ligtht whoe hath deliuered vs frō the power of darkeness and hath translated vs into the kingdome of the sonn of his loue The diligent reader may see S. Augustine alleadging this place in the same sence 2. God sent his sonn made of a woman made vnder the lawe That he might redeeme thē that were vnder the lawe that wee might receaue the adoption of sonnes 3. He hath saued vs by the lauer of regeneration renouatiō of the holy ghost whome he hath powred vpon vs abundantly by Christ Iesus our sauioure 4. Nor theeues nor couetouse nor drunkards nor raylers nor extortioners shall possess the kingdome of god And these thinges certes you were but nowe you are washed but now you are sanctified but now you are iustified in the name of our lord Iesus Christ and in the spirit of our god 5. Lay you away accordinge to the ould conuersation the owld man which is corrupted according to the desires of erroure And be renewed in the spirit of your mynde and put on the new man which according to god is created in iustice and helines of truthe Behould sayth S. Augustine what Adam lost by sin●e in that therfore we are renewed according to that which Adam lost that is according to the spirit of our minde Spoyling our selues of the owld man with his actes And doeing on the newe him that is renewed vnto knowledge according to the image of him that created hym This image sayth S. Augustine imprinted in the spirit of our minde Adā lost by sinn which we receaue by the grace of iustice Catholique position 2. Synn is not onely couered or not imputed by iustification but it is washed purged and quite taken away Proofe 1. I will power out vpon you cleane water and you shal be clensed from all your contaminationes 2. Thou shalt sprincle me with hysope and I shal be clensed thou shalt washe me and I shal be made whiter then snowe 3. As farr as the cast is distant from the west hath he made our iniquities farr from vs. 4. Behould the lambe of god behould him that take the awaye the sinn of the world 5. Be penitent therfore and conuert that your sinnes may be put out But yf we walk in the light as he also is in the light we haue societie one toward another and the blo●de of Iesus Christ his sonn clensethe vs from all sinn OF CONCVPIScence Caetholique position THat rebellion or concupiscence of the fleshe which remay nethe in man after Baptisme is not properly sinne of it self or with out the free consent of the will Proofe Concupiscence when it hath conceaued bringe the forth sinn therfore of it self is it not sinn As S. Augustine playnly prooueth by these wordes sayinge when concupiscence hath conceaued it bringeth forth sinn verely in these wordes that which is brought forth is distinguished from that which bringeth forth that which bringethe forth is cōcupiscēce that which is brought forth is sinn but concupisence doth not bring forth vnless it haue conceaued it conceaueth not vnless it hath allured that is vnless it hath obtayned the assent of the will to doe euill There is nowe therfore noe damnation to thē that are in Christ Iesus that walke not according to the fleshe S. Paule calleth it sinn because it his the roote cause matter and also the effect of sinn As likewise the golden calfe made by the people of Israell is called sinn because it was the cause and effect of sinn Our sauiour also is called sinn because he was the Host oblation for sinn Catholique position Asynner is not iustified that is clensed from sinn made iust holy and the child of god all which are effected by iustification by the externall iustice of Christ imputed vnto him but by internall grace truely receaued and inherent with in him Proofe 1. The holy scripture playnly testifiethe that there is a grace which is the spirit of god dwelling with in vs yf the spirit of him that raysed vp Iesus from the dead dwell in you he that raysed vp Iesus Christ from the dead shall quicken also your mortall bodyes because of his spirit dwellinge in you 2. which is the life of our spirit you are not in the fleshe but in the spirit yet yf the spirit of god dwell in you But if anie man haue not the spirit of Christ the same is not his But if christ be in you the bodie in deed is dead because of sinn but the spirit liueth because of iustification 3. which is the circumcision of the hart in spirit Not that which is in open shew in the fleshe is circumcision but the circumcisione of the barte in spirit not in the letter who●e prayse is not of god The circumcision of the hart sayth S. Augustine is the will pure from all vnlawfull cōcupiscence which is not made by the teaching threating letter but
