a_o sacrament_n proper_a and_o special_a to_o the_o case_n such_o as_o extreme_a unction_n be_v suppose_v to_o be_v then_o they_o of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n must_v either_o say_v that_o god_n have_v be_v want_v to_o those_o die_a person_n for_o who_o he_o have_v not_o provide_v such_o a_o remedy_n or_o else_o that_o themselves_o be_v horrible_o to_o blame_v in_o refuse_v it_o to_o they_o for_o they_o do_v not_o administer_v extreme_a unction_n but_o to_o those_o that_o be_v die_v of_o sickness_n for_o if_o a_o man_n be_v to_o die_v a_o violent_a death_n or_o be_v in_o imminent_a danger_n of_o death_n any_o other_o way_n than_o by_o a_o disease_n according_a to_o their_o doctrine_n and_o practice_n he_o be_v not_o to_o be_v anoint_v with_o extreme_a unction_n but_o if_o it_o be_v the_o proper_a guard_n of_o the_o die_a all_o reason_n in_o the_o world_n require_v that_o it_o shall_v be_v administer_v to_o the_o late_a no_o less_o than_o the_o former_a they_o that_o be_v 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 institute_v a_o special_a help_n and_o defence_n chief_o because_o it_o often_o happen_v that_o they_o who_o be_v draw_v on_o can_v neither_o hear_v the_o word_n of_o exhortation_n nor_o receive_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 few_o minute_n though_o they_o be_v subject_a to_o the_o terror_n of_o death_n and_o capable_a of_o receive_v comfort_n against_o it_o though_o they_o understand_v their_o own_o needs_o and_o can_v submit_v to_o remedy_n must_v it_o seem_v be_v leave_v without_o this_o special_a guard_n of_o extreme_a unction_n while_o they_o be_v to_o be_v anoint_v and_o to_o receive_v the_o fruit_n of_o this_o sacrament_n who_o be_v past_o all_o apprehension_n of_o any_o thing_n that_o can_v be_v say_v or_o do_v to_o they_o and_o in_o all_o appearance_n be_v as_o incapable_a of_o receive_v any_o benefit_n 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 their_o sense_n as_o their_o adversary_n the_o devil_n can_v do_v they_o harm_n sect_n iii_o that_o more_o congruous_a reason_v may_v be_v offer_v against_o it_o than_o for_o it_o 2._o if_o this_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 not_o that_o wretch_n that_o will_v have_v lay_v the_o least_o weight_n

assist_v by_o a_o sacrament_n there_o be_v i_o be_o sure_a nothing_o in_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o thing_n to_o hinder_v but_o that_o he_o may_v assist_v by_o the_o reception_n of_o the_o eucharist_n at_o the_o hour_n of_o death_n though_o it_o be_v not_o a_o sacrament_n proper_a to_o the_o die_v and_o if_o this_o be_v true_a there_o be_v nothing_o in_o the_o argument_n why_o god_n must_v needs_o have_v appoint_v extreme_a unction_n for_o the_o die_v but_o that_o the_o number_n three_z ought_v go_v round_o for_o the_o please_a of_o their_o imagination_n who_o be_v entertain_v to_o their_o like_n more_o with_o regular_a figure_n and_o analogy_n than_o with_o substantial_a and_o useful_a truth_n i_o confess_v i_o be_o not_o very_o much_o concern_v to_o see_v man_n take_v these_o pretty_a congruity_n and_o make_v they_o reason_n for_o what_o they_o do_v themselves_o provide_v they_o will_v rest_v there_o and_o not_o make_v they_o rule_n for_o what_o god_n almighty_a do_v when_o 3_o when_o arcud_v ubi_fw-la supra_fw-la cap._n 3_o simeon_n thessalonicensis_n tell_v we_o why_o in_o the_o greek_a church_n there_o be_v seven_o priest_n to_o anoint_v the_o sick_a viz._n because_o of_o all_o the_o seven_n that_o he_o can_v ready_o think_v of_o i_o be_o very_a well_o content_a for_o it_o be_v indifferent_a whether_o there_o be_v seven_o priest_n or_o not_o a_o indifferent_a reason_n i_o think_v will_v serve_v the_o turn_n one_o way_n or_o other_o but_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v endure_v to_o put_v these_o petty_a arguing_n upon_o the_o infinite_a wisdom_n of_o god_n by_o oblige_v

the_o sacrament_n of_o his_o church_n some_o of_o those_o i_o mean_v that_o be_v for_o the_o aid_v of_o we_o in_o our_o progress_n after_o baptism_n as_o they_o hold_v for_o in_o this_o whole_a

five_o indeed_o he_o may_v well_o have_v except_v holy_a matrimony_n and_o holy_a order_n because_o according_a to_o they_o these_o two_o can_v never_o meet_v to_o the_o assistance_n of_o the_o same_o person_n in_o their_o progress_n through_o the_o world_n and_o because_o they_o be_v not_o necessary_a to_o all_o but_o the_o sacrament_n of_o confirmation_n and_o penance_n be_v add_v to_o the_o

since_o our_o danger_n be_v say_v to_o be_v then_o great_a and_o our_o strength_n to_o encounter_v they_o less_o than_o in_o the_o whole_a course_n of_o our_o life_n beside_o the_o truth_n be_v if_o the_o institution_n of_o sacrament_n must_v be_v think_v to_o go_v by_o such_o congruity_n as_o these_o it_o will_v be_v impossible_a for_o man_n to_o agree_v about_o the_o number_n and_o the_o use_n of_o sacrament_n till_o they_o all_o agree_v in_o the_o same_o fancy_n of_o congruity_n and_o yet_o nothing_o in_o the_o world_n seem_v to_o have_v great_a variety_n than_o fancy_n have_v 3._o if_o there_o be_v some_o colour_n of_o agrument_n in_o a_o handsome_a congruity_n yet_o in_o one_o that_o be_v strain_v and_o force_v there_o be_v none_o at_o all_o for_o such_o be_v the_o congruity_n of_o be_v furnish_v with_o a_o sacrament_n for_o our_o go_v out_o as_o we_o be_v with_o a_o sacrament_n for_o our_o enter_v into_o the_o church_n if_o the_o opposition_n have_v be_v natural_a either_o

the_o consideration_n of_o the_o church_n militancy_n in_o this_o life_n to_o save_v himself_o from_o the_o absurdity_n of_o make_v extreme_a unction_n the_o sacrament_n of_o our_o go_v out_o of_o the_o church_n as_o baptism_n be_v the_o sacrament_n of_o our_o entrance_n into_o it_o but_o then_o this_o spoil_v the_o congruity_n of_o the_o opposition_n for_o he_o that_o be_v baptize_v do_v

thereby_o we_o be_v actual_o admit_v into_o the_o church_n but_o be_v it_o the_o effect_n of_o extreme_a unction_n to_o pass_v we_o out_o of_o the_o militant_a church_n it_o be_v the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o die_a they_o say_v but_o what_o effect_n have_v it_o if_o the_o sick_a person_n happen_v to_o recover_v after_o anoint_v do_v his_o anoint_v assist_v he_o in_o his_o passage_n out_o of_o

a_o sacrament_n for_o our_o egress_n to_o answer_v the_o sacrament_n of_o ingress_n and_o progress_n we_o have_v nothing_o to_o consider_v but_o the_o single_a congruity_n of_o provide_v sufficient_a assistance_n for_o the_o faithful_a in_o so_o dangerous_a a_o hour_n as_o the_o hour_n of_o death_n but_o to_o this_o also_o i_o have_v speak_v already_o and_o shall_v now_o add_v 1._o that_o we_o do_v not_o in_o the_o least_o doubt_n but_o as_o god_n be_v present_a with_o his_o faithful_a servant_n in_o all_o condition_n of_o life_n to_o deliver_v they_o out_o of_o temptation_n so_o he_o will_v not_o forsake_v they_o in_o the_o hour_n of_o death_n nor_o then_o suffer_v they_o to_o be_v tempt_v above_o what_o they_o be_v able_a but_o we_o say_v that_o this_o do_v not_o infer_v any_o the_o least_o need_n or_o even_o congruity_n that_o he_o shall_v therefore_o institute_v a_o sacrament_n proper_a for_o the_o comfort_n and_o assistance_n of_o the_o die_v since_o if_o he_o be_v please_v upon_o our_o prayer_n to_o give_v the_o assistance_n of_o his_o holy_a spirit_n in_o that_o case_n without_o such_o a_o sacrament_n our_o need_n in_o that_o time_n of_o danger_n be_v as_o
