have_v ground_v so_o hard_a a_o doctrine_n upon_o a_o epistle_n which_o i_o suppose_v he_o know_v not_o to_o be_v so_o authentical_a as_o to_o settle_v thereon_o a_o doctrinal_a point_n as_o he_o may_v see_v by_o bellarmine_n in_o his_o book_n de_fw-fr scriptoribus_fw-la ecclesiasticis_fw-la second_o i_o may_v answer_v out_o of_o estius_n in_o that_o very_a place_n which_o m._n doctor_n cite_v out_o of_o he_o for_o the_o necessity_n of_o confirmation_n in_o time_n of_o persecution_n and_o it_o seem_v not_o fair_a deal_n to_o bring_v estius_n as_o far_o as_o he_o seem_v for_o his_o purpose_n and_o not_o so_o much_o as_o take_v notice_n or_o confute_v what_o in_o the_o same_o author_n in_o the_o same_o place_n and_o to_o the_o same_o purpose_n he_o find_v against_o he_o estius_n therefore_o observe_v that_o the_o father_n when_o they_o say_v that_o without_o confirmation_n faithful_a people_n be_v not_o perfect_o or_o full_o christian_n do_v general_o allude_v to_o the_o

three_o there_o occur_v a_o answer_n clear_o deduce_v out_o of_o s._n clement_n own_o word_n and_o i_o doubt_v not_o but_o will_v full_o satisfy_v the_o learned_a reader_n the_o common_a practice_n of_o the_o ancient_a church_n be_v and_o be_v yet_o in_o the_o eastern_a church_n and_o at_o rome_n when_o convert_v lewes_z or_o turk_n ar●_n solemn_o baptize_v together_o with_o baptism_n to_o

be_v not_o baptize_v and_o confirm_v be_v not_o a_o perfect_a christian_n but_o this_o be_v far_o from_o prove_v that_o without_o confirmation_n as_o separate_v from_o baptism_n we_o can_v be_v

christian_a still_o as_o i_o say_v repeat_v together_o both_o those_o sacrament_n because_o they_o be_v wont_a to_o be_v administer_v at_o one_o time_n and_o whosoever_o have_v or_o want_v one_o
