A12211	A friendly advertisement to the pretended Catholickes of Ireland declaring, for their satisfaction; that both the Kings supremacie, and the faith whereof his Majestie is the defender, are consonant to the doctrine delivered in the holy Scriptures, and writings of the ancient fathers. And consequently, that the lawes and statutes enacted in that behalfe, are dutifully to be observed by all his Majesties subjects within that kingdome. By Christopher Sibthorp, Knight, one of his Maiesties iustices of his court of chiefe place in Ireland. In the end whereof, is added an epistle written to the author, by the Reverend Father in God, Iames Vssher Bishop of Meath: wherein it is further manifested, that the religion anciently professed in Ireland is, for substance, the same with that, which at this day is by publick authoritie established therein.	Sibthorp, Christopher, Sir, d. 1632.; Ussher, James, 1581-1656.	1622 (1622)	STC 22522; ESTC S102408	494,750	610

in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n and_o ever_o since_o the_o time_n of_o man_n fall_n and_o transgression_n require_v in_o all_o age_n and_o of_o all_o person_n that_o they_o shall_v

and_o such_o as_o bread_n and_o wine_n be_v in_o the_o lord_n supper_n and_o for_o want_v of_o this_o outward_a sign_n also_o it_o can_v therefore_o be_v no_o sacrament_n but_o bellarmine_n say_v that_o christ_n institute_v the_o sacrament_n of_o penance_n when_o after_o his_o resurrection_n he_o say_v to_o his_o apostle_n who_o sin_n you_o remit_v 2d_o they_o be_v remit_v and_o who_o sin_n you_o retain_v they_o be_v retain_v and_o he_o say_v further_a that_o the_o word_n of_o absolution_n 10._o be_v the_o outward_a sign_n and_o that_o the_o remission_n of_o sin_n be_v the_o grace_n

be_v a_o sufficient_a outward_a sign_n to_o make_v a_o sacrament_n then_o shall_v the_o preach_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o ministry_n of_o the_o word_n be_v also_o a_o sacrament_n which_o have_v

but_o a_o visible_a sign_n and_o that_o of_o god_n own_o institute_v and_o appoint_v be_v require_v to_o make_v a_o sacrament_n yea_o although_o christ_n in_o joh._n 20.23_o give_v authority_n to_o

you_o call_v it_o shall_v be_v make_v a_o sacrament_n for_o this_o purpose_n because_o christ_n have_v appoint_v other_o to_o be_v sacrament_n serve_v to_o this_o use_n and_o end_n namely_o to_o
