be_v those_o which_o he_o urge_v here_o confession_n and_o repentance_n on_o the_o part_n of_o the_o sick_a man_n and_o then_o the_o prayer_n of_o the_o elder_n on_o his_o behalf_n which_o will_v

of_o the_o sick_a person_n if_o it_o shall_v seem_v good_a to_o god_n then_o this_o exhortation_n may_v well_o be_v conceive_v to_o run_v thus_o but_o whether_o the_o elder_n be_v instruct_v by_o

loc_n est_fw-la in_o loc_n as_o estius_n do_v in_o particular_a and_o that_o upon_o no_o other_o ground_n but_o because_o health_n in_o the_o scripture_n be_v often_o refer_v to_o the_o soul_n but_o

ground_v upon_o the_o general_a promise_n of_o god_n only_o but_o to_o i_o it_o seem_v more_o probable_a that_o the_o prayer_n of_o faith_n be_v still_o mean_v because_o of_o the_o instance_n of_o elias_n his_o prayer_n by_o which_o the_o apostle_n do_v present_o illustrate_v his_o meaning_n and_o to_o this_o notion_n the_o greek_a word_n 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d which_o we_o

but_o although_o this_o sense_n appear_v reasonable_a i_o will_v not_o stand_v upon_o it_o if_o equal_a reason_n can_v be_v give_v for_o another_o it_o will_v be_v sufficient_a to_o my_o purpose_n to_o observe_v that_o although_o the_o prevalency_n of_o a_o good_a man_n prayer_n be_v here_o affirm_v in_o general_a term_n and_o though_o without_o all_o question_n such_o a_o man_n earnest_a prayer_n be_v very_o forcible_a for_o the_o obtain_n of_o spiritual_a benefit_n which_o be_v the_o best_a force_n they_o have_v yet_o the_o case_n of_o which_o he_o speak_v just_a before_o that_o you_o may_v be_v heal_v limit_n his_o meaning_n of_o that_o power_n of_o prayer_n which_o he_o speak_v of_o here_o to_o that_o of_o produce_v temporal_a effect_n which_o limitation_n be_v require_v no_o less_o by_o that_o which_o follow_v 3._o elias_n be_v a_o man_n subject_n to_o like_a passion_n as_o we_o be_v and_o he_o pray_v earnest_o that_o it_o may_v not_o rain_v and_o it_o rain_v not_o on_o the_o earth_n by_o the_o space_n of_o three_o year_n and_o three_o month_n and_o he_o pray_v again_o and_o the_o heaven_n give_v rain_n and_o the_o earth_n bring_v forth_o her_o fruit_n now_o that_o both_o in_o the_o one_o case_n and_o in_o the_o other_o the_o prayer_n of_o elias_n be_v the_o prayer_n of_o faith_n in_o the_o sense_n so_o often_o already_o mention_v can_v just_o be_v question_v for_o as_o we_o know_v from_o st._n james_n that_o he_o pray_v that_o it_o may_v not_o rain_v and_o again_o that_o it_o may_v rain_v so_o we_o know_v by_o the_o history_n of_o the_o old_a

evident_a that_o this_o be_v a_o instance_n of_o the_o power_n of_o prayer_n to_o produce_v temporal_a effect_n of_o a_o surprise_a and_o wonderful_a nature_n which_o make_v the_o instance_n pertinent_a to_o what_o he_o have_v be_v speak_v of_o before_o nor_o be_v it_o incongruous_a to_o observe_v that_o as_o the_o withhold_n of_o rain_n for_o so_o long_a time_n upon_o elias_n his_o prayer_n do_v in_o part_n answer_v the_o case_n of_o a_o sinner_n be_v smite_v with_o sickness_n for_o his_o transgression_n so_o the_o send_n of_o rain_n upon_o the_o prayer_n of_o elias_n do_v full_o answer_v the_o case_n of_o the_o sick_a man_n recovery_n by_o mean_n of_o the_o prayer_n of_o faith_n and_o now_o i_o may_v appeal_v to_o the_o judicious_a reader_n whether_o our_o adversary_n

to_o to_o die_v a_o violent_a death_n need_v support_v and_o comfort_v not_o less_o but_o rather_o more_o than_o those_o that_o be_v die_v a_o natural_a death_n as_o we_o use_v to_o call_v it_o and_o they_o be_v every_o whit_n as_o capable_a of_o the_o spiritual_a advantage_n of_o the_o pretend_a sacrament_n as_o these_o be_v and_o one_o will_v think_v something_o more_o than_o many_o of_o they_o for_o we_o be_v tell_v that_o supra_fw-la that_o bell._n all_o supra_fw-la because_o in_o pass_v out_o of_o this_o world_n there_o be_v special_a difficulty_n therefore_o our_o lord_n have_v

the_o eucharist_n be_v oppress_v by_o their_o disease_n and_o deprive_v of_o the_o use_n of_o their_o sense_n but_o they_o may_v be_v anoint_v and_o receive_v the_o fruit_n of_o this_o sacrament_n now_o what_o the_o spiritual_a danger_n or_o difficulty_n be_v or_o can_v be_v of_o those_o who_o have_v thus_o far_o safe_o advance_v towards_o their_o end_n as_o to_o be_v deprive_v of_o the_o use_n of_o their_o sense_n i_o be_o not_o able_a to_o imagine_v for_o it_o seem_v evident_a to_o i_o that_o if_o through_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n they_o have_v to_o that_o moment_n well_o acquit_v themselves_o the_o devil_n may_v from_o that_o time_n be_v suffer_v to_o do_v his_o worst_a upon_o they_o nor_o can_v there_o be_v any_o need_n of_o extreme_a unction_n to_o guard_n and_o fortify_v they_o who_o now_o be_v out_o of_o all_o danger_n of_o their_o spiritual_a enemy_n but_o those_o who_o be_v yet_o in_o their_o full_a health_n and_o know_v they_o must_v die_v by_o violence_n in_o a_o

by_o it_o as_o if_o they_o be_v stark_o dead_a but_o this_o i_o confess_v that_o there_o be_v a_o notable_a congruity_n between_o the_o suppose_a need_n of_o the_o die_a person_n last_o mention_v by_o the_o cardinal_n and_o the_o suppose_a remedy_n for_o extreme_a unction_n will_v do_v just_a as_o much_o good_a to_o the_o soul_n of_o the_o faithful_a who_o be_v deprive_v of_o the_o use_n of_o

point_n be_v to_o go_v by_o such_o arguing_n there_o be_v more_o plausible_a thing_n to_o be_v say_v against_o it_o than_o those_o which_o the_o cardinal_n have_v produce_v for_o it_o what_o he_o have_v offer_v we_o have_v see_v already_o now_o it_o seem_v to_o be_v much_o more_o substantial_a to_o argue_v in_o this_o manner_n against_o this_o pretend_a sacrament_n for_o the_o die_v 1._o that_o there_o be_v nothing_o like_o it_o in_o the_o jewish_a church_n who_o yet_o have_v abundance_n of_o rite_n and_o ceremony_n institute_v for_o they_o by_o god_n himself_o now_o if_o it_o have_v be_v of_o such_o mighty_a consequence_n as_o be_v pretend_v that_o die_a person_n shall_v be_v provide_v with_o a_o sacrament_n proper_a to_o their_o case_n it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v believe_v but_o that_o god_n will_v have_v furnish_v that_o people_n of_o who_o he_o take_v a_o especial_a care_n with_o something_o of_o this_o kind_n especial_o since_o their_o religion_n have_v a_o vast_a number_n of_o institution_n they_o have_v rite_n institute_v by_o god_n himself_o which_o may_v be_v say_v to_o answer_v our_o baptism_n and_o eucharist_n but_o they_o have_v none_o to_o pass_v they_o safe_o out_o of_o this_o world_n to_o answer_v the_o pretence_n of_o extreme_a unction_n and_o yet_o their_o die_a need_n be_v the_o same_o with_o we_o their_o sickness_n as_o painful_a and_o their_o temptation_n as_o many_o nor_o can_v any_o reason_n be_v assign_v why_o they_o shall_v not_o have_v be_v provide_v with_o a_o proper_a sacrament_n in_o the_o case_n as_o well_o as_o we_o but_o yet_o no_o such_o provision_n be_v make_v for_o they_o and_o therefore_o it_o shall_v seem_v that_o no_o such_o provision_n be_v make_v for_o we_o neither_o for_o if_o they_o have_v no_o need_n of_o such_o a_o thing_n neither_o shall_v it_o be_v think_v needful_a for_o we_o 2._o there_o be_v far_a to_o be_v say_v from_o the_o reason_n of_o the_o thing_n that_o a_o sacrament_n proper_a for_o die_a person_n will_v be_v more_o liable_a to_o be_v abuse_v by_o place_v too_o much_o confidence_n in_o it_o than_o any_o other_o institution_n whatsoever_o for_o those_o careless_a and_o licentious_a person_n who_o be_v apt_a to_o rely_v more_o than_o they_o ought_v even_o upon_o baptism_n and_o the_o eucharist_n which_o be_v manifest_a engagement_n to_o a_o holy_a life_n for_o the_o time_n to_o come_v will_v much_o more_o easy_o persuade_v themselves_o that_o a_o sacrament_n proper_a to_o their_o die_a hour_n and_o which_o can_v have_v no_o respect_n to_o any_o duty_n to_o be_v perform_v by_o they_o afterward_o must_v be_v of_o no_o other_o use_n in_o comparison_n than_o to_o take_v away_o the_o guilt_n and_o impurity_n which_o they_o have_v contract_v heretofore_o which_o will_v be_v a_o dangerous_a temptation_n and_o encouragement_n to_o live_v as_o they_o listen_v in_o hope_n of_o make_v all_o good_a at_o last_o by_o a_o repentance_n and_o by_o a_o sacrament_n proper_a to_o a_o deathbed_n it_o seem_v therefore_o reasonable_a to_o believe_v if_o people_n will_v be_v so_o bold_a as_o to_o make_v reason_n for_o god_n that_o what_o assistance_n god_n will_v afford_v by_o a_o sacrament_n in_o the_o ease_n of_o a_o die_a man_n shall_v be_v confer_v by_o mean_n of_o a_o sacrament_n not_o proper_a to_o a_o die_a man_n but_o one_o of_o constant_a use_n in_o the_o course_n of_o his_o life_n viz._n the_o eucharist_n which_o be_v also_o a_o sacrament_n no_o less_o signify_v our_o own_o duty_n than_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n will_v not_o so_o easy_o be_v turn_v into_o a_o occasion_n of_o presumption_n for_o because_o it_o be_v a_o sacrament_n that_o be_v frequent_o to_o be_v receive_v in_o the_o time_n of_o health_n therefore_o when_o sick_a person_n receive_v it_o they_o must_v be_v very_o stupid_a to_o think_v it_o have_v any_o other_o kind_n of_o efficacy_n at_o that_o time_n than_o when_o they_o receive_v it_o in_o their_o health_n that_o be_v to_o say_v than_o a_o conditional_a efficacy_n convey_v to_o they_o the_o grace_n which_o it_o signify_v upon_o their_o be_v qualify_v as_o the_o sacrament_n suppose_v they_o to_o be_v but_o a_o sacrament_n for_o the_o die_a have_v not_o its_o efficacy_n till_o a_o little_a before_o death_n and_o therefore_o seem_v not_o to_o have_v much_o respect_n to_o condition_n but_o rather_o look_n like_o a_o reserve_v to_o secure_v those_o at_o last_o who_o have_v not_o live_v answerable_o to_o the_o sacrament_n that_o promise_v nothing_o but_o upon_o the_o condition_n of_o a_o sober_a righteous_a and_o godly_a life_n for_o the_o time_n to_o come_v but_o after_o all_o have_v it_o please_v god_n to_o institute_v extreme_a unction_n or_o any_o other_o sacrament_n proper_a for_o the_o die_a i_o be_o
