In the third the Bishops and Fathers of the Church so that by vertue of this Succession the power of the Keyes and Imposition of Hands properly belongeth to them Now that the Apostles alone imposed hands not onely in Ordination but in Confirmation appeares out of the 8. of the Acts where when Phillip had baptised the Samaritanes it is said that the Apostles Peter and Iohn came downe from Ierusalem to confirme them with Prayer and Imposition of hands Vpon which place Saint Chrysostome directly concludes the administration of that Ceremonie to belong to Bishops And Augustine affirmes the Church in his time to haue obserued it in suis praepositis as hee speaketh in her Gouernours the like doth Saint Cyprian witnesse of his times and Saint Ambrose being himselfe a Bishop as also the former three giueth a reason for so doing ad Confirmationem vnitatis I take his meaning to be that the Bishops by approuing in Confirmation that which the inferiour Ministers had performed in Baptisme thereby established the peace of the Church as well by declaring their vnitie among themselues I meane of the Bishops with the inferiour Ministers as also by exacting of such as vvere confirmed an vniformitie or harmonie of Confessions To this reason of Saint Ambrose Saint Hierome in his Dialogue against the Luciferians addes another of no lesse moment vvhich is that the safetie of the Church depending vpon the authoritie of Bishops for the shunning of Schismes it was requisite some eminent specialties of power should be reserued and annexed to that place as namely Imposition of hands which hee there affirmeth was the custome of the Church for the Bishop to performe passing by the Country Parishes thereby blessing those vvhom the Presbyters and Deacons had baptized To these reasons of the holy Doctors and Fathers may be added the vvaight of Councels The first Canon of the Councell of Aurenge in France and the 20. of the first Councell held at Toledo in Spaine to which the Schoole-men and Canonists generally agree Nay Caluin himselfe in his Institutions confesseth in expresse tearmes that the Minister of it was aunciently a Bishop And Bucer in his Commentaries vpon the Fourth to the Ephesians Farther thinkes it to haue beene grounded vpon good reason And Doctor Raynolds in the second dayes Conference at Hampton-Court being challenged by the Lord Bishop of Winchester where euer he had read that CONFIRMATION was aunciently vsed by any other then Bishops by not encountring the challenge seemed to giue way vnto it I will close vp this Chapter also vvith those memorable wordes of Mr. Hooker in the place before alledged To pray for others is to blesse them for whom wee pray because prayer procureth the blessing of God vpon them especially the prayer of such as God eyther most respecteth for their pietie and zeale that way or else regardeth for that their Place and Calling bindeth them aboue others vnto this dutie as it doth both naturall and spirituall Fathers Indiuiduae Trinitati sit Gloria a Cap. de Confirm Quare satis est pro ritu quodam Ecclesiastico seu Ceremonia sacramentali Confirmationem habere b Cap. de Confirm In ritu Confirmationis fiebat exploratio doctrinae in quae singuli recitabaÌ„t summam doctrinae palaÌ„ profitebantur se improbare â—urores Ethnicos Haereticos velle se esse manere verae Ecclesiae membra non discessurâ—s Ã vera sententia quam tuÌ„ profitebantur Hic mos erat vtilis ad eâ—udiendos homines retinendus in vera agnitione dei c Cap. de rel Sacram.
