how_o do_v we_o receive_v he_o by_o this_o sacrament_n see_v that_o we_o receive_v grace_v before_o by_o baptism_n we_o receive_v he_o here_o more_o particular_o because_o by_o this_o sacrament_n his_o grace_n and_o gift_n be_v more_o radicate_v in_o our_o soul_n whereby_o we_o become_v strong_a and_o vigorous_a in_o virtue_n by_o receive_v the_o perfection_n of_o charity_n for_o the_o

anoint_v with_o holy_a chrism_n by_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o bishop_n which_o be_v call_v in_o the_o scripture_n the_o imposition_n of_o hand_n 6._o where_o do_v we_o find_v a_o promise_n of_o grace_n in_o scripture_n to_o this_o outward_a sign_n we_o find_v it_o in_o the_o 16._o chap._n of_o s._n john_n where_o christ_n tell_v his_o apostle_n that_o when_o he_o go_v away_o himself_o he_o will_v send_v the_o holy_a ghost_n unto_o they_o and_o the_o performance_n of_o this_o sacrament_n appear_v in_o the_o act_n when_o the_o holy_a ghost_n descend_v upon_o the_o apostle_n and_o when_o those_o that_o be_v baptize_v receive_v the_o holy_a ghost_n anew_o by_o the_o imposition_n of_o the_o apostle_n hand_n which_o be_v a_o sign_n that_o christ_n institute_v this_o ceremony_n for_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o the_o apostle_n can_v not_o by_o such_o a_o ceremony_n have_v give_v the_o holy_a ghost_n if_o he_o have_v not_o ordain_v it_o for_o that_o end_n 7._o what_o be_v chrism_n it_o be_v a_o holy_a ointment_n compose_v of_o oil_n and_o balm_n by_o oil_n be_v represent_v the_o strengch_n which_o we_o receive_v by_o this_o sacrament_n as_o soldier_n of_o jesus_n christ_n by_o balm_n be_v represent_v the_o effusion_n of_o all_o virtue_n by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n into_o our_o soul_n which_o send_v forth_o a_o sweet_a odour_n before_o god_n and_o angel_n as_o balm_n do_v before_o man_n whereupon_o s._n paul_n say_v that_o we_o be_v before_o god_n the_o sweet_a odour_n of_o jesus_n christ_n so_o that_o by_o this_o sacrament_n we_o become_v perfect_a member_n of_o the_o militant_a church_n and_o receive_v weapon_n and_o courage_n to_o enter_v confident_o into_o the_o battle_n which_o we_o be_v to_o undergo_v in_o this_o world_n to_o receive_v at_o last_o a_o eternal_a crown_n with_o jesus_n christ_n which_o also_o be_v signify_v by_o the_o little_a blow_n which_o the_o bishop_n give_v when_o he_o confirm_v by_o which_o sign_n he_o teach_v we_o to_o begin_v to_o suffer_v with_o patience_n all_o the_o encounter_n that_o the_o enemy_n of_o our_o soul_n and_o salvation_n shall_v make_v against_o us._n 8._o why_o be_v we_o anoint_v in_o our_o

we_o shame_n and_o fear_v of_o profess_v the_o faith_n of_o christ_n which_o shame_n and_o fear_n principal_o have_v their_o seat_n in_o the_o forehead_n or_o countenance_n of_o man_n 9_o with_o what_o preparation_n ought_v we_o to_o receive_v this_o sacrament_n first_o we_o must_v be_v baptize_v before_o we_o receive_v it_o second_o we_o must_v be_v in_o the_o state_n of_o grace_n for_o the_o preparation_n require_v to_o all_o sacrament_n that_o be_v institute_v to_o confer_v only_o a_o increase_n of_o grace_n be_v to_o have_v the_o first_o grace_n and_o so_o those_o that_o be_v in_o mortal_a sin_n must_v first_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n of_o penance_n or_o at_o least_o have_v a_o act_n of_o contrition_n before_o they_o can_v be_v confirm_v and_o the_o reason_n of_o it_o be_v evident_a for_o as_o it_o be_v impossible_a that_o a_o dead_a body_n shall_v grow_v corporal_o so_o it_o be_v impossible_a that_o a_o dead_a soul_n shall_v grow_v spiritual_o unless_o it_o be_v first_o reviue_v 10._o be_v we_o oblige_v to_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n of_o confirmation_n yes_o we_o be_v oblige_v under_o pain_n of_o sin_n to_o seek_v it_o and_o to_o receive_v it_o if_o we_o can_v convenient_o for_o this_o much_o at_o least_o be_v gather_v out_o of_o the_o holy_a father_n who_o say_v that_o without_o it_o we_o be_v not_o perfect_a christian_n this_o sacrament_n have_v be_v institute_v by_o christ_n to_o confer_v unto_o we_o the_o plenitude_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o the_o full_a perfection_n of_o baptism_n beside_o the_o seven_o sacrament_n have_v be_v institute_v by_o christ_n as_o certain_a principal_a knot_n of_o christian_a life_n his_o very_a institute_v this_o a_o sacrament_n oblige_v we_o to_o make_v use_n of_o it_o for_o institution_n in_o a_o thing_n of_o such_o weight_n be_v equivalent_a to_o a_o command_n and_o so_o he_o who_o neglect_v to_o receive_v it_o when_o opportunity_n of_o have_v it_o be_v give_v sin_v for_o it_o will_v be_v a_o strange_a kind_n of_o spiritual_a sloth_n not_o to_o seek_v and_o much_o more_o to_o neglect_v that_o mean_n when_o opportunity_n be_v offer_v to_o receive_v it_o which_o christ_n have_v purposely_o establish_v in_o his_o church_n to_o strengthen_v and_o arm_v we_o against_o our_o spiritual_a enemy_n we_o be_v on_o all_o side_n so_o strait_o beset_v and_o infest_a with_o they_o during_o this_o life_n but_o especial_o when_o before_o persecutor_n and_o tyrant_n we_o be_v oblige_v to_o make_v profession_n of_o our_o faith_n 11._o wherefore_o be_v it_o that_o this_o sacrament_n as_o also_o baptism_n and_o holy_a order_n can_v be_v reiterated_a or_o take_v again_o the_o second_o time_n it_o be_v because_o beside_o the_o particular_a grace_n proper_a to_o each_o several_a sacrament_n these_o sacrament_n have_v also_o a_o second_o effect_n which_o they_o cause_n in_o our_o soul_n call_v by_o divine_n a_o character_n that_o be_v a_o spiritual_a sign_n imprint_v in_o our_o soul_n whereby_o we_o be_v know_v to_o belong_v to_o christ_n jesus_n as_o person_n depute_v to_o some_o certain_a function_n in_o his_o family_n 12._o why_o do_v these_o three_o sacrament_n confer_v a_o character_n because_o by_o these_o we_o be_v put_v into_o several_a state_n or_o vocation_n according_a to_o the_o several_a function_n whereunto_o we_o be_v depute_v by_o receive_v they_o 13._o what_o be_v a_o state_n it_o be_v a_o immutable_a or_o perpetual_a condition_n of_o life_n whereby_o a_o man_n be_v solenne_o depute_v and_o oblige_v to_o some_o certain_a act_n and_o
