S. Austin affirmeth that (y) Tom. 10. de tempore ser 116. prope fin And tom 9. de Symbol l. 2. c. 1. l. 3. c. 1. The Godfathers answeare for them that they renounce the Diuel his pompes and workes And that (z) Tom 2. ep 23. ad Bonif. post med They answeare in the childes behalfe to seueral interrogatories mentioning (a) Tom. 9. in Euang Ioan. tract 44. post init withal the vse of spistle In like manner as touching trinall immersion S. Austin saith (b) Tom. 10. de tempore ser 201. post med The mystery of the Trinity is also shewed in the Sacrament of Baptisme whiles the old man is thrice drowned This ceremony is further mentioned by (c) De co●ona militis Basil de Spir. Sanct. c. 27 Cir. Catech 2. Chrisost hom 24. in Ioan. Tertulian S. Basil S. Ciril and S. Chrisostome which being afterwards misapplyed by the Arians to the signifying of three seueral natures in the three persons as S. (d) Lib. 1. ep 41. ad Leandrum Gregory recordeth one immersion was therupon in some Churches (e) Concil 4. Toletan c. 5. established To conclude al these ceremonies of Baptisme are so clearly set downe and taught by S. Austin that the f Centurie writers do particularly and at large record and dislike the same (o) Cent. 4. c. 6. col 415. 417. 418. 419. Cent. 5. c. 6. col 652. 657. of which also saith (g) Resp ad Tom. 2. Bellar. p. 281. Daneus so Austin and some Fathers thought that they were Apostolical traditions which they beleeued to be most auntient but without ground saith Daneus Concerning the Sacrament of Confirmation CHAPTER 7. COncerning Confirmation S. Austin writeth that the water therof is oyle or Chrisme (h) Tom. 9. in ep Ioan. tract 3. ante med Spiritual vnction saith he is the holy Ghost him selfe whose Sacrament is in the visible vnction (i) Tom. 8. in Psal 26. in praefat enarrat 2. prope fin we are now annointed in the Sacrament And (k) In Psal 44. circ med The visible oyle is in the signe the inuisible oyle is in the Sacrament Againe (l) Tom. 3. de Trinit l. 15. c. 26. post init God haith annointed him with the holy Ghost not with the visible oyle but with the guift of grace which is signifyed by the visible oyle wherwith the Church doth annoyle those that are baptised This doctrine is so clearly S. Austines S. Hieromes and S. Ambroses that Danaeus reproueth them in his answeare to Bellarmine obiecting the same Fathers saying (m) Resp ad tom ● c. 6. p. 452. Ambrose fauoreth ouer much his Siricius and the Roman Bishopes who brought forth that Confirmation Therefore what c. Ambrose writ it is to be attributed to his error or fauour towardes the Pope of Rome not to the truth Hieromes sentence against the Luciferians corrupteth the place of the 8. chapter of the Actes Austin was ouerwhelmed with the error or shipwracke of his age So general was the doctrine hereof in S. Austines time for which also S. Ciprian is reproued by (n) De tradit Apost col 773. 774. 775. Hammelmannus This Chrisme according to S. Austin was onely to be consecrated by a Bishop In so much that the 3. Carthage Councel wherat S. Austin was present and subscribed decreed that (o) Can. 36. and see concil 2. Carthag c. 3. A Preist should not consecrat virgins without acquāting the Bishop should neuer hallow Chrisme A Canon so plaine in our behalfe that Osiander censureth it to be (p) Cent. 4. l. 4. c. 24. p. 529. superstitious ambition and ambitius superstition and yet the answearable doctrine of the other Fathers herin is reported by the (q) Cent. 4. col 865. 869. 503. 1274. Century writers Yea S. Austin expresly calleth it a Sacrament saying (r) Tom. 7. cont lit Petil. l. 2. c. 104. The Sacrament of Chrisme is in the kind of visible signes sacred euen as Baptisme it selfe These wordes are ouer plaine for our aduersaries to euade by saying that S. Austin here vsed the word Sacrament improperly or but in a general sense except they wil say the like of Baptisme which would be ouer grosse And we haue seene before that S. Austin required the signe of the Crosse for the duly administring of this Sacrament For which doctrine also the (s) Ministers of Lincolne diocesse in their abridg p. 41. Puritans reproue Tertulian Ciprian Ambrose This Confirmatiō S. Austin affirmeth to haue beene geuen with imposition of handes The holy Ghost saith (t) Tom. 7. de Baptismo cont Don. l. 3. c. 16. ante med he is said to be geuen by imposition of handes c. but the holy Ghost by the imposition of handes is not now geuen as heretofore it was with temporal and sensible miracles confirming the same to the commendation of the faith now taught and to enlarge the beginninges of the Church for wbo now may exspect that those vpon whom handes are imposed for the obtaining of the holy Ghost should suddanly begin to speake with tongues And againe (u) Tom. 3 de Eccles dog c. 52. ante med those who are strengthned with the imposition of handes and Chrisme let them be admitted to the Eucharist And wheras our (x) Caluin institut l. 4. c. 19. sec 6. Carthwright 2. Reply part 2. p. 233. aduersaries would escape by affirming that by this geuing of the holy Ghost was onely ment the miraculous guiftes of the holy Ghost mentioned in the (a) Cap. 8. 17. Actes of the Apostles peculiar say they to those beginning times S. Austin haith already here sufficiently answeared the same and yet in further surplusage he writeth thus hereof (y) Tom. 9. in ep Ioan. tract 6. post med Is it expected that those vpon whom handes are imposed for the obtaining of the holy Ghost that they speake with tongues or when we impose handes vpon these Infants doth euery one of you obserue whether they speak with tongues when you see that they do not is any of you so peruerse as Caluin now is for to say that they haue not receiued the holy Ghost Now as concerning the effect of this Sacrament which is the geuing of the grace of the holy Ghost S. Austin and the other Fathers do so generally teach the same that according to M. (z) Eccles pol. l. 5. sec 66. p. 170. Hooker The Fathers euery where do impute vnto confirmation the guift or grace of the holy Ghost not which maketh vs first Christian men but when we are made such assisteth vs in al vertue armeth vs against temptation and sinne And in this truth the Fathers are approued by D. (a) Modest examination p. 192. Couel and by the Communion booke turned into latin and printed at London by Thomas Vautrolerius Anno. 1574. In so much that the Protestants are herein reprehended by the (b)

remission c. for in this that him selfe telleth to the Preist and ouercommeth shame with the feare of offence the sinne is pardoned And speaking of Cities besiged who ioyned Baptisme and penance together for their releefe he telleth how that in such common danger there is (d) Tom. 2. ep 180. ad Honoratum circa med and see tom 6. de adult coniug l. 1. c. 28. fine tom 10. 50. homil hom 41. concourse of people of al ages some desiring Baptisme others reconciliation others also the doing of penance it selfe c. where if the ministers be wanting what destruction followeth them who dye either not baptised or bound c. but if the ministers be present c. some are baptised others reconciled c. This absolution or reconciliation was geuen by the Preist with imposition of handes and enioyned penance for thus the 4. Councel of Carthage wherat S. Austin was present and subscribed decreed that (e) Cap. 76. he who in his sicknes desired penance c. should be reconciled by imposition of handes c. If he recouered c. he should be subiect to the appointed lawes of penance as long as the Preist who gaue him penance shal thinke good This Canon is confessed and approued by (f) Cent. 5. l. 1. c. 1. p. 15. see the Councel can 78. Osiander And the Centuristes do acknowledge for the practise of this age that (g) Cent. 5. c. 6. col 665. Penitents were absolued with imposition of handes To which purpose also S. Austin aduiseth the sinner that He (h) Tom. 4. de vera falsa paenit c. 15. prope initium put him selfe wholly in the power of the iudge in the iudgment of the Preist re●eruing nothing to him selfe that he may be ready to do al thinges for the recouering the life of his soule which he shal commaund And his further aduise is that (i) Tom. 10. de sanctis serm 39. post med we seeke confession with pure heart and performe our penance geuen by the Preistes Of which penance the third Councel of Carthage decreed that (k) Can. 31. by the sentence of the Bishop times of penance should be appointed to penitents according to the difference of their sinnes This Penance or temporary punishment was so enioyned as that somtimes also it was remitted by indulgence or pardon for so the 4. Carthage (l) Can. 82. Councel wherto S. Austin subscribed decreed that penitents should kneele downe euen vpon the daies of pardon And Innocentius who in reguard of the knowen corresspondents betweene him and S. Austin is no obscure interpriter of his doctrine affirmeth likwise (m) Ep. 1. ad Decentium c. 7. of penitents c. who do penance c. that the custome of the Roman Church showeth that the Thursday before Eeaster pardon was to be geuen them In which beleefe S. Chrisostome was so ful as that the Centuristes confesse that (n) Cent. 5. c. 6. col 692. Chrisostome affimeth that there are dayes of pardon and Indulgence And to omit S. (o) Lib. 3. ep 15. 16. 18. Concil Ancyran Can. 5 Concil 1. Nicen can 11. Ciprian teaching pardon of penance enioyned M. Bel acknowledgeth that (p) Suruey of Popery part 3. c. 11. p. 492. Pardons sealed with lead called the Popes Buls were graunted by Pope Adrian Anno Domini 772. S. Gregory also is most expresly reprehended and charged (q) Symonds vpon the reuelatiōs p. 84. Bale in actis pontif Roman p. 46. for graunting pardons to such as frequented Churches on set dayes Pantaleon (r) Cronic p. 48. to this end alleging S. Gregories owne writinges But to conclude our doctrine of penance and confession is so clearly taught by the fathers of those Primitiue times that M. Simondes chargeth (s) Vpon the reuel p. 57. Leo the 1. with auriculer confession The (t) Cent. 3. c. 6. col 127. Centuristes confessing the same of other more auncient Fathers A doctrine also in it selfe so true that (u) In Apol. confes Augustan art 13. de numero sacram fol. 161. Melancton thinketh it easy to iudge which are properly Sacraments c. Therfore saith he Baptisme the Lords supper Absolution are truly Sacramentes c. with whom agreeth Luther saying At the first I denyed 7. Sacramets and onely placed 3. for the time Baptisme Penance bread c. And the like doctrine is taught by (x) Loc. com Tom. 1 fol. 305. Altham in Conciliat loc script pugn loc 191. fol. 211. loc 195. fol. 219. Spang in marga●ita theol p. 116. 117. Sarcerius Althamerus Spangburgius al of them Protestant writers Concerning the Sacrament of Extreme vnction wherin is proued the same to be a Sacrament And vsed in the Primitiue Church CHAPTER 10. THough the Sacrament of Extreme vnction be generally impugned by Protestantes yet S. Austin with vs teacheth the same saying of the sicke (a) Tom. 9. de rectitudine Cathol cōuersationis post init Let him aske of the Church holy Oyle wherwith his body may be annoynted according to the Apostle Iames. 5. And againe (b) Tom. 10. ser de temp 215. circa med see tom 9. de visit Infirm l. 2. c. 4. initio Origen hom 2. in Leuit Prosper de praedict l. 2. c. 29. Chrisost de Sacerd. l. 3. c. 6. Let him annoint his body that it may be fulfilled in him which is written is any man sicke Let him bring in the Preistes and let them pray ouer him annoynting him with oyle But in further explication of S. Austines iudgement Innocentius Bishop of Rome then liuing with S. Astine vpon more casual occasion of a demaund propounded to him answeareth concerning the fore mencioned saying of (c) Ep. ad Eugubinum S. Iames c. 5.14 without doubt saith he it is to be vnderstood of the faithful being sicke who may be annoynted whth the holy oyle of Chrisme Affirming yet further concerning not the ministring but the receiuing therof that Not onely Preistes in their sicknes but also Laye-persons in theirs may haue the benefit and vse therof This is so cleare in Innocentius that Bale saith (d) Acta Romanorum Pontif. p. 31. in his pageant of Popes fol. 26. Of the annoyling of the sicke Innocentius haith made a Sacrament Agreeably to whom (e) Speculum pontif p. 33. Szegedin also writeth that Innocentius the 1. and Faelix the 4. haue made a Sacrament of the annoyling of the sicke And for this very cause the epistle of S. Iames which the Fathers and we alledge in behalfe of Extreme vnction is reiected by Luther in these wordes (f) Tom. 2. Witteberg de captiuit Babilon fol. 86. But I say if in any place it be foolishly written in this especially c. but if it were the epistle of Iames the Apostle I would say that it were not lawful for an Apostle by his owne authority to institute a Sacrament c.
