nor separate our selues for any respect of them from the Church which did and doth practise them The third obseruation is concerning the ambiguity of the words necessarie to saluation which for that there are diuers kindes of necessities in matters of Religion may be diuersly taken For there is one necessity which is called Absolute and another Conditionall There is a necessitie of the meanes to do a thing and there is a necessitie induced by the precept by which we are commaunded to do it There is also a necessitie of speciall and particuler beliefe and a necessitie of beliefe in generall a necessitie of act and lastly a necessity of approbation I call absolute necessity not that it is simply so but for that God hath so ordained it that which admitteth no excuse of impossibility nor any exception of place time or person Of this kind is the knowledge and beliefe of Christ the Mediatour betweene God and man which is of absolute necessitie to be knowne of all that be of age For it is not excused with the circumstance of not being in place where one may be instructed nor with the condition of being ignorant and vnlearned rude and of little capacity a sheepe and not a sheepheard for none of these exceptions can defend them from eternall death that do not actually belieue Forasmuch as whosoeuer belieueth not in the only begotten Sonne of God is allreadie iudged And of the same necessitie to little infants is the receauing of the Sacrament of Baptisme by which alone according to the doctrine of Catholikes the faith in Christ is in them supplyed following herein the sentence of S Augustine who saith Do not belieue do not say do not teach that the Infants preuented by death before they be baptized can obtaine remission of Originall sinne if thou will be a Catholike And of this kind of necessitie there are but few examples I call that necessitie Conditionall which obligeth not but when there is possibility and admitteth exception of place time and persons and this againe is subdeuided into many branches For first of all to speake of matters which concerne Faith there are many points which necessarily are to be belieued by him that is in place where he may be instructed or hath time to informe himself which are not necessary to another that liueth in a desert or is so suddainly preuented by death that he hath no leasure to be instructed as that Christ was borne of a Virgin that he was crucified vnder Pontius Pilate that he rose againe the third day And many things are necessary to be belieued and held for points of Faith either by the whole body of the Church in generall or by the order of Ministers or Pastours who are the eies of the Church which be not necessary to be knowne and belieued as articles of Faith by euery one in particuler As that the persons of the blessed Trinity are one in Essence and distinct in Subsistence that the Father hath begottē his Sonne of necessity and not of free accord that they are the diuine Persons which do produce and are produced and not the Essence which doth neither produce nor is produced that the externall operations of the blessed Trinity are vndeuided that the only Person of the Sonne hath taken flesh and not any of the others that in Christ there are two Substances and one Subsistence that the Diuinity was not in place of the soule but that besides the body and Diuinity there was in Christ also a sensible and reasonable soule that what Christ did once personally vnite vnto him he doth neuer abandone that the Diuel was created good and by the liberty of his owne free will he became euill and other the like And as for the necessity of action there are many things necessary when there is possibility and opportunity of times of places and of persons which are not necessary absolutely and when these commodities and meanes to performe them are wanting As to assist at Ecclesiasticall solemnities to receaue actually the Eucharist And many things are necessary to some as Mission and Imposition of hands to the Pastours of the Church and Marriage to such as desire lawfull ofspring which are not necessary to others And briefly other things are needfull for the obtayning of saluation and others for the obtaining of it with more facility others for the obtaining of it for ones self and others for the procuring and getting of it for another others for the constitution of the Church and others for the edification and more large propagation of the Church others for the meere being of Christian Religion and others for the better being that is for the decēcy dignity and splendour therof I call necessity of meanes that which is in the things themselues we vse as that of the Sacraments to which God hath giuen power for the imparting of Grace and the reall cooperation to the health of a mans soule That also of the Cōmaundements of the morall law the necessity wherof is imposed by the order of nature In like manner the necessity of repenting for our sinnes which is a necessary meane for obtaining of pardon I call that necessity of Precept which proceedeth only from the force of commaundment as is the keeping holy of the first day in the weeke in memorie of that day in which our Sauiour rose from death and which for this cause is called Dies Dominicus that is the day of our Lord and other the like obseruations the omission of which would nothing endanger saluation if it were not for disobedience and the breaking of the precept by which they are commaunded I call necessitie of particuler and speciall beliefe the necessity of those articles which all faithfull soules not preuented by death are bound to know and belieue with an expresse distinct and determinate faith which in Schooles is called Fides ex licita and of this kind are the twelue Articles of our Creed Necessity of generall beliefe comprehendeth those things which euery one in particuler is not bound to belieue in distinct and expresse manner as the doctrine of Originall sinne the article of two wills in Christ the proceeding of the holy Ghost from the Father and the Sonne the force of Baptisme giuen in due forme out of the Catholike Church and that the baptized by heretikes are not to be rebaptized when they returne to the vnity of the Church and other the like which euery simple and rude Christian is not bound expresly and distinctly to belieue but it sufficeth that they belieue them in generall in the faith of the Church that is that they adhere and be vnited to the Church which belieueth them in the faith whereof they liue as long as they remaine in her communion and vnity in like manner as the infant liueth by the food receaued by the mother as long as it is within her wombe Necessity of Act I call that which is of those things which euery one in
