Sacraments of the new Law truly and properly so called instituted by Jesus Christ our Lord and necessary to the salvation of mankind though not all of them to every one viz. Baptism Confirmation Eucharist Penance Extreme Vnction Orders and Marriage and that they do confer grace and that of these Baptism Confirmation and Orders may not be repeated without Sacrilege I do also receive and admit the received and approved Rites of the Catholick Church in her solemn administration of the abovesaid Sacraments NOTES upon it You must by no means ask questions here as In what part of the New Testament may I find that Christ did institute these Seven Sacraments Or Where may I meet with the promise annexed by virtue of which they do confer grace Or Where and when did our Lord make all these necessary to salvation These are idle and frivolous questions you must believe as the Catholick Church believes and do as she doth but by Catholick Church you must be sure always to understand the Roman Church though in so doing you believe a part to be the whole XVI I do embrace and receive all and every thing that hath been defined and declared by the holy Council of Trent concerning Original Sin and Justification NOTES upon it Though St. Paul call Concupiscence Sin yet you must not do so Decret de Peccat Origin Sess 5. Conc. Trid. Though Christ tell you that when you have done all that is commanded still you are unprofitable servants you have done no more than your duty Yet if you will be a true Catholick you must believe that the good works of Justified persons do truly merit increase of grace here and eternal life hereafter Sess 6. Can. 32. XVII I do also profess that in the Mass there is offered unto God a true proper and propitiatory Sacrifice for the quick and the dead and that in the most holy Sacrament of the Eucharist there is truly really and substantially the Body and Blood together with the Soul and Divinity of our Lord Jesus Christ and that there is a conversion made of the whole Substance of the Bread into the Body and of the whole substance of the Wine into the Blood which conversion the Catholick Church calls Transubstantiation NOTES upon it Though Christ by being once offered hath put away sin by the sacrifice of himself and therefore need not to be offered again Heb. 9. yet you must believe that he is daily offered and it may be in 10000 places at once a true proper and propitiatory Sacrifice for the quick and the dead And why should you not believe so seeing the Catholick i. e. the Roman Catholick Church hath defined and declared it to be so If you say that you find nothing for it but much against it in holy Scripture this is to appeal from the Judgment of the Church to your own which by no means must be allowed But how do you know that there is any thing in Scripture against it you will tell me you see and reade it there But do you think it is fit for you to trust your own eyes against so plain a declaration of the Church Because you see and feel and taste and thereupon judge a consecrated Host to be really Bread still do you think it is fit for you to believe so when the Church hath told you the contrary Have a care this is a dangerous point If you will be a true Catholick you must resolve to renounce all the evidence of Sense and Reason in this matter and to live by an implicit faith XVIII I confess that under one kind only whole and entire Christ and a true Sacrament is taken and received NOTES upon it Though Christ left you a whole Sacrament yet you must be content with half an one Though Christ after his Supper instituted and administred this venerable Sacrament under both kinds of Bread and Wine though in the Primitive Church this Sacrament was received by the faithfull in both kinds yet all this notwithstanding you must now rest satisfied with half of it and that for divers good causes and considerations as to instance lest you spill the Wine upon your Beards c. And will you still stick to the Institution of Christ against such a declaration of the Church have a care there is an Anathema provided for you and the censure and punishment of Hereticks will fall to your share Concil Constant Sess 13. Concil Trid. Sess 13. Can. 3. XIX I do firmly believe that there is a Purgatory and that the Souls kept prisoners there do receive help by the suffrages of the faithfull NOTES upon it Though in holy Scripture there be no mention made of any other place after this life but either Heaven or Hell yet holy Church tells you there is another called Purgatory and why should you not believe her Though Christ tell you that when you have done all that is commanded you are still unprofitable servants having done no more but what was your duty to doe yet why should not you believe as the Church believes that some men may do more than their duties and by an over measure of merits help others XX. I do likewise believe that the Saints reigning together with Christ are to be worshipped and prayed unto and that they do offer Prayers unto God for us and that their Relicks are to be had in veneration NOTES upon it Though you be no where commanded to pray to any other but only God though there be but one Mediatour between God and Man viz. Christ Jesus yet why should you deprive your selves of the benefit of such powerfull Mediators as the Saints in Heaven may be when the Church teacheth you to make use of them XXI I do most firmly assert that the Images of Christ of the Blessed Virgin the Mother of God and of other Saints ought to be had and retained and that due honour and veneration ought to be given to them NOTES upon it Though by the second Commandment you are forbidden to make to your selves any graven Images or to bow down to them or worship them yet this notwithstanding why should not you comply with the Doctrin and Practice of the Church in making to your selves graven Images bowing down to them and in praying lighting Candles and burning Incense before them XXII I do affirm that the power of Indulgences was left by Christ in the Church and that the use of them is very beneficial to Christian people NOTES upon it Though your sins be great and heinous yet if for a summ of Money you can procure a Pardon if the price be set and nothing wanting but to pay the Money with one hand and receive the Indulgence with the other Vide Tax Camer Apostol why then should you not comply with the Doctrine of Indulgences which is so comfortable in it self and so advantagious unto you XXIII I do acknowledge the Holy Catholick and Apostolick Roman Church to
