in_o the_o sacrament_n of_o penance_n for_o some_o time_n before_o they_o communicate_v for_o by_o virtue_n of_o the_o sacrament_n of_o penance_n of_o ten_o reiterated_a be_v join_v with_o the_o

communion_n lesson_n xix_o of_o the_o three_o evangelicall_a counsel_n 1._o be_v there_o no_o more_o require_v for_o the_o practice_n of_o charity_n but_o only_o to_o observe_v the_o commandment_n of_o god_n and_o his_o church_n and_o other_o superior_n whosoever_o do_v this_o have_v as_o we_o have_v say_v a_o assure_a mark_n of_o charity_n and_o therefore_o it_o can_v be_v doubt_v but_o that_o he_o have_v charity_n in_o some_o measure_n yet_o every_o one_o that_o observe_v the_o commandment_n have_v not_o charity_n in_o the_o same_o measure_n for_o he_o who_o observe_v they_o so_o as_o not_o to_o break_v they_o in_o any_o matter_n of_o weight_n which_o make_v a_o mortal_a sin_n remain_v in_o charity_n but_o for_o the_o perfection_n of_o charity_n there_o be_v require_v a_o more_o exact_a performance_n of_o they_o and_o especial_o of_o that_o great_a precept_n contain_v in_o the_o first_o commandment_n of_o direct_v all_o our_o action_n and_o thought_n to_o god_n his_o honour_n and_o glory_n the_o mark_n whereof_o be_v when_o we_o do_v avoid_v even_o venial_a sin_n so_o far_o forth_o as_o the_o condition_n of_o humane_a frailty_n will_v permit_v we_o for_o although_o these_o small_a offence_n do_v not_o deprive_v we_o of_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n yet_o they_o be_v ungrateful_a and_o displease_v to_o he_o because_o they_o do_v entrench_v in_o some_o sort_n upon_o his_o commandment_n by_o hinder_v we_o from_o perform_v they_o ready_o and_o with_o alacrity_n and_o by_o bring_v we_o into_o danger_n of_o break_v they_o grievous_o now_o as_o we_o see_v that_o one_o who_o love_v his_o friend_n entire_o will_v not_o only_o do_v what_o he_o command_v but_o he_o will_v do_v it_o also_o with_o alacrity_n and_o use_v the_o best_a mean_v he_o can_v for_o that_o end_n so_o shall_v we_o do_v the_o like_a towards_o god_n if_o we_o love_v he_o fervent_o 2._o how_o shall_v we_o know_v which_o be_v the_o mean_n to_o attain_v to_o this_o perfection_n we_o may_v know_v this_o by_o look_v upon_o the_o life_n of_o our_o bless_a saviour_n and_o by_o see_v what_o thing_n those_o be_v which_o he_o exhort_v those_o to_o who_o be_v near_a about_o he_o for_o certain_o see_v that_o out_o saviour_n come_v to_o teach_v we_o not_o only_a perfection_n itself_o but_o also_o the_o mean_n to_o attain_v unto_o it_o and_o this_o by_o make_v himself_o our_o pattern_n that_o be_v by_o leave_v unto_o we_o a_o example_n in_o his_o own_o life_n for_o we_o to_o imitate_v there_o can_v be_v no_o doubt_n but_o that_o those_o thing_n which_o he_o himself_o embrace_v for_o our_o instruction_n and_o which_o he_o enure_v his_o most_o familiar_a friend_n unto_o be_v the_o most_o efficacious_a mean_n to_o attain_v to_o the_o height_n of_o christian_a perfection_n 3._o where_o shall_v we_o find_v these_o thing_n we_o shall_v find_v they_o at_o large_a in_o the_o four_o evangelift_n who_o write_v the_o life_n of_o our_o bless_a saviour_n and_o for_o that_o reason_n they_o be_v call_v the_o evangelicall_a counsel_n and_o the_o practice_n of_o they_o be_v call_v particular_o the_o imitation_n of_o christ_n 4._o how_o many_o be_v the_o evangelicall_a counsel_n there_o be_v very_o many_o set_v down_o in_o the_o gospel_n whereof_o there_o be_v three_o which_o be_v the_o principal_a call_v voluntary_a poverty_n perpetual_a chastity_n and_o entire_a obedience_n of_o which_o the_o religious_a order_n do_v make_v their_o essential_a vow_n and_o by_o they_o they_o be_v main_o assist_v to_o extirpate_v those_o three_o pernicious_a root_n from_o which_o most_o sin_n do_v proceed_v to_o wit_n luxury_n avarice_n and_o pride_n 5._o what_o be_v mean_v by_o the_o counsel_n of_o poverty_n we_o understand_v by_o it_o a_o voluntary_a renounce_v all_o worldly_a wealth_n a_o thing_n which_o our_o saviour_n do_v teach_v both_o by_o word_n and_o example_n and_o after_o he_o the_o holy_a apostle_n follow_v it_o and_o the_o first_o christian_n do_v practice_v it_o at_o jerusalem_n in_o the_o primitive_a church_n 6._o wherein_o do_v consist_v the_o counsel_n of_o perpetual_a chastity_n it_o consist_v in_o a_o resolution_n to_o abstain_v perpetual_o not_o only_o from_o all_o sort_n of_o carnal_a sin_n but_o even_o from_o lawful_a marriage_n itself_o which_o also_o our_o saviour_n christ_n do_v both_o teach_v and_o practice_v 7._o wherein_o consist_v the_o counsel_n of_o entire_a obedience_n it_o consist_v in_o renounce_v our_o own_o proper_a will_n and_o judgement_n which_o in_o holy_a scripture_n be_v call_v the_o deny_v of_o ourselves_o by_o submit_v ourselves_o to_o the_o will_n of_o a_o superior_a for_o the_o honour_n and_o love_n of_o god_n which_o counsel_n our_o saviour_n not_o only_o teach_v by_o word_n but_o also_o by_o perfect_a example_n submit_v himself_o for_o so_o many_o year_n to_o his_o mother_n the_o bless_a virgin_n and_o to_o s._n joseph_n his_o suppose_a father_n on_o earth_n 8._o what_o fruit_n and_o profit_n be_v there_o get_v by_o observe_v these_o holy_a counsel_n they_o main_o help_v to_o take_v away_o the_o impediment_n of_o christian_a perfection_n which_o consist_v in_o charity_n the_o impediment_n whereof_o be_v chief_o three_o to_o wit_n the_o love_n of_o temporal_a good_n which_o be_v take_v away_o by_o poverty_n the_o love_n of_o carnal_a pleasure_n which_o be_v take_v away_o by_o chastity_n and_o final_o the_o love_n of_o worldly_a honour_n and_o power_n which_o be_v take_v away_o by_o obedience_n moreover_o whereas_o a_o man_n have_v but_o three_o sort_n of_o good_n a_o soul_n a_o body_n and_o his_o exterior_a wealth_n by_o give_v his_o exterior_a good_n to_o god_n by_o poverty_n his_o body_n by_o chastity_n and_o his_o soul_n by_o obedience_n he_o make_v a_o perfect_a sacrifice_n to_o god_n of_o all_o he_o have_v and_o thereby_o dispose_v himself_o to_o the_o perfection_n of_o charity_n in_o the_o best_a manner_n that_o in_o this_o life_n be_v possible_a 9_o be_v these_o

here_o belong_v proper_o to_o religious_a man_n whereby_o they_o be_v afterward_o tie_v to_o they_o no_o less_o then_o if_o they_o be_v precept_n and_o so_o be_v oblige_v to_o perform_v they_o more_o

immediate_o about_o the_o holy_a eucharist_n and_o about_o the_o priest_n person_n in_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o mass_n and_o so_o the_o deacon_n who_o be_v next_o to_o the_o priest_n have_v also_o annex_v to_o their_o office_n to_o assist_v the_o priest_n in_o his_o function_n and_o consequent_o by_o commission_n from_o he_o or_o from_o the_o bishop_n to_o administer_v some_o sacrament_n and_o also_o to_o catechise_v these_o two_o degree_n of_o minister_n be_v also_o call_v holy_a because_o for_o their_o great_a purity_n they_o be_v oblige_v to_o observe_v perpetual_a chastity_n and_o to_o say_v the_o canonical_a office_n the_o other_o four_o degree_n be_v call_v lesser_a because_o they_o be_v employ_v in_o function_n and_o rite_n which_o be_v more_o remote_a and_o not_o immediate_o about_o the_o holy_a eucharist_n or_o the_o priest_n person_n at_o the_o altar_n 8._o how_o many_o several_a order_n be_v there_o in_o all_o they_o be_v common_o reckon_v to_o be_v seven_o to_o wit_n the_o order_n of_o potter_n lector_fw-la exorcist_n acolite_a subdeacon_n deacon_n and_o priest_n 9_o why_o be_v not_o bishop_n reckon_v among_o the_o rest_n if_o you_o reckon_v episcopacy_n and_o add_v it_o to_o the_o rest_n than_o indeed_o they_o be_v in_o all_o eight_o order_n but_o common_o it_o be_v not_o name_v with_o the_o rest_n for_o two_o reason_n first_o because_o it_o be_v a_o eminent_a degree_n which_o surpass_v they_o all_o as_o be_v the_o source_n from_o whence_o all_o the_o rest_n be_v derive_v for_o they_o all_o proceed_v from_o it_o and_o end_n in_o it_o and_o so_o as_o in_o a_o kingdom_n the_o king_n be_v not_o reckon_v in_o the_o number_n of_o the_o officer_n that_o govern_v under_o he_o because_o his_o power_n be_v transcendent_a and_o run_v through_o all_o the_o magistrate_n of_o the_o kingdom_n no_o more_o be_v the_o bishop_n reckon_v ordinary_o in_o the_o number_n of_o the_o other_o order_n for_o he_o be_v in_o his_o church_n as_o the_o king_n in_o his_o kingdom_n the_o prince_n and_o head_n of_o all_o ecclesiastical_a hierarchy_n or_o holy_a principality_n the_o second_o reason_n be_v because_o if_o we_o take_v priesthood_n in_o its_o full_a latitude_n episcopacy_n be_v also_o include_v in_o it_o for_o the_o name_n and_o office_n of_o priesthood_n do_v signify_v two_o thing_n the_o first_o be_v ordinary_a authority_n or_o jurisdiction_n to_o govern_v man_n in_o order_n to_o salvation_n and_o to_o god_n his_o service_n the_o second_o be_v power_n to_o offer_v sacrifice_n to_o god_n which_o two_o function_n be_v express_v by_o two_o word_n or_o name_n appropriate_v common_o to_o priest_n to_o wit_n presbyter_n and_o sacerdos_n for_o presbyter_n and_o presbyterium_fw-la which_o be_v a_o greek_a word_n do_v import_v a_o superiority_n and_o power_n of_o govern_v as_o senior_n and_o senatus_n do_v in_o latin_a sacerdos_n and_o sacerdotium_fw-la have_v relation_n to_o sacrifice_n and_o they_o come_v from_o sacer_n or_o sacrare_fw-la which_o be_v to_o make_v holy_a and_o so_o they_o import_v power_n to_o offer_v up_o sacrifice_n which_o be_v a_o holy_a and_o sacred_a function_n now_o then_o from-hence_a it_o follow_v that_o the_o order_n of_o priesthood_n be_v twofold_a the_o one_o be_v only_o of_o inferior_a priest_n who_o be_v those_o who_o we_o common_o call_v priest_n to_o who_o it_o belong_v to_o sacrifice_n but_o not_o to_o govern_v in_o chief_a the_o other_o of_o superior_a and_o chief_a priest_n who_o be_v only_a bishop_n to_o who_o it_o belong_v not_o only_o to_o sacrifice_n but_o also_o to_o govern_v in_o chief_a wherefore_o see_v that_o priesthood_n do_v signify_v these_o two_o function_n and_o that_o the_o first_o which_o be_v to_o govern_v in_o chief_a by_o ordinary_a authority_n confer_v upon_o man_n by_o christ_n himself_o be_v the_o more_o principal_a absolute_o speak_v though_o in_o some_o respect_n the_o other_o may_v be_v prefer_v as_o be_v that_o by_o which_o the_o second_o be_v direct_v and_o order_v and_o belong_v only_o to_o episcopacy_n it_o follow_v that_o episcopacy_n be_v include_v under_o the_o name_n of_o priesthood_n 10._o be_v the_o sacrament_n of_o order_n necessary_a we_o have_v say_v above_o that_o it_o be_v absolute_o necessary_a for_o the_o whole_a church_n beside_o it_o be_v necessary_a for_o every_o one_o in_o particular_a that_o undertake_v the_o administration_n of_o sacrament_n and_o also_o regular_o speak_v those_o who_o undergo_v the_o office_n of_o spiritual_a government_n and_o preach_v aught_o to_o receive_v order_n first_o unless_o it_o be_v in_o such_o case_n in_o which_o the_o church_n or_o the_o pope_n do_v upon_o some_o occasion_n grant_v jurisdiction_n to_o some_o person_n without_o order_n by_o commission_n and_o authority_n of_o the_o sea_n apostolic_a and_o here_o you_o must_v note_v that_o the_o give_v of_o order_n and_o jurisdiction_n be_v that_o thing_n which_o be_v common_o call_v mission_n which_o be_v a_o power_n to_o preach_v that_o doctrine_n which_o be_v teach_v by_o the_o catholic_a church_n as_o also_o to_o administer_v the_o sacrament_n in_o the_o same_o manner_n and_o in_o the_o same_o sense_n as_o that_o church_n intend_v and_o practise_v so_o that_o whosoever_o teach_v any_o thing_n contrary_a to_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o true_a church_n fromwhence_o all_o spiritual_a power_n be_v derive_v do_v put_v himself_o upon_o a_o function_n which_o he_o have_v no_o authority_n to_o do_v for_o want_v of_o mission_n from_o whence_o it_o follow_v that_o luther_n caluin_n and_o all_o founder_n of_o heretical_a sect_n as_o also_o all_o their_o adherent_n and_o successor_n do_v want_n mission_n and_o do_v not_o enter_v in_o by_o the_o gate_n but_o do_v break_v in_o by_o stealth_n in_o presume_v to_o advance_v their_o own_o invention_n instead_o of_o preach_v that_o doctrine_n which_o preacher_n be_v warrant_v to_o by_o mission_n 11._o what_o sacrament_n be_v next_o after_o
