patience_n and_o diligence_n 23._o what_o be_v the_o effect_n of_o a_o sinful_a act_n it_o have_v chief_o two_o effect_n the_o first_o be_v call_v by_o divine_n macula_n which_o if_o the_o act_n be_v a_o mortal_a sin_n make_v the_o sinner_n abominable_a and_o hateful_a in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n and_o so_o deprive_v he_o of_o god_n his_o grace_n the_o second_o be_v call_v reatus_fw-la poenae_fw-la whereby_o he_o be_v guilty_a of_o eternal_a punishment_n if_o the_o sin_n be_v mortal_a and_o although_o when_o the_o sin_n be_v remit_v the_o former_a effect_n be_v perfect_o take_v away_o yet_o this_o second_o effect_n be_v not_o always_o whole_o abolish_v but_o only_o lessen_v by_o change_v the_o eternal_a punishment_n into_o temporal_a by_o which_o we_o be_v to_o satisfy_v god_n his_o justice_n either_o in_o this_o world_n by_o do_v worthy_a fruit_n of_o penance_n or_o in_o the_o next_o by_o suffer_v the_o most_o grievous_a pain_n of_o purgatory_n unless_o it_o be_v remit_v we_o through_o indulgence_n grant_v by_o the_o church_n but_o nether_a indulgence_n nor_o other_o work_n will_v avail_v we_o any_o thing_n unless_o the_o sin_n itself_o be_v remit_v and_o god_n his_o grace_n recover_v 24._o may_v we_o then_o recover_v god_n his_o grace_n though_o our_o sin_n be_v never_o so_o great_a yes_o for_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n be_v infinite_a and_o never_o forsake_v we_o as_o long_o as_o we_o live_v in_o this_o world_n but_o if_o we_o die_v without_o grace_n it_o be_v not_o recoverable_a in_o the_o next_o lesson_n xxiii_o of_o the_o seven_o sacrament_n 1._o what_o be_v the_o mean_n which_o god_n have_v leave_v to_o abolish_v sin_n and_o to_o recover_v grace_n when_o we_o have_v lose_v it_o they_o be_v the_o holy_a sacrament_n of_o the_o new_a law_n institute_v by_o jesus_n christ_n 2._o what_o be_v a_o sacrament_n of_o the_o new_a law_n it_o be_v a_o outward_a and_o sensible_a sign_n which_o have_v virtue_n and_o efficacy_n to_o sanctify_v man_n and_o do_v give_v they_o a_o right_a to_o certain_a special_a help_n of_o grace_n proper_a to_o each_o sacrament_n which_o sign_n represent_v in_o some_o sort_n the_o special_a effect_n of_o that_o grace_n when_o rewith_o almighty_a god_n invisible_o imbu_v our_o soul_n when_o we_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n 3._o what_o be_v the_o difference_n betwixt_o sacrament_n and_o sacramentall_n sacrament_n differ_v from_o sacramentall_n because_o they_o be_v the_o main_a instrument_n of_o grace_n and_o can_v be_v institute_v by_o any_o but_o by_o christ_n himself_o whereas_o sacramentall_n be_v institute_v by_o the_o church_n and_o be_v only_o make_v by_o certain_a blessing_n as_o holy_a water_n and_o the_o like_a which_o though_o they_o be_v bless_v yet_o they_o do_v not_o produce_v infallible_o the_o effect_n for_o which_o they_o be_v bless_v 4._o what_o be_v the_o difference_n betwixt_o the_o sacrament_n in_o the_o old_a law_n and_o the_o sacrament_n in_o the_o now_o law_n the_o council_n of_o florence_n teach_v we_o that_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o old_a law_n be_v only_a figure_n of_o grace_n to_o be_v give_v by_o christ_n passion_n but_o they_o do_v not_o cause_n grace_n whereas_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o new_a law_n according_a to_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o same_o council_n do_v both_o contain_v grace_n and_o also_o cause_v it_o in_o those_o who_o receive_v they_o worthy_o wherefore_o you_o be_v to_o understand_v that_o as_o god_n allmighty_n bring_v the_o jew_n to_o love_v he_o by_o temporal_a promise_n and_o reward_n that_o he_o may_v afterward_o give_v they_o celestial_a one_o so_o their_o sacrament_n make_v they_o capable_a only_o of_o temporal_a blessing_n as_o circumcision_n make_v the_o jew_n to_o be_v one_o who_o have_v part_n in_o the_o land_n of_o promise_n their_o purification_n make_v he_o to_o be_v one_o who_o may_v offer_v sacrifice_n and_o be_v hear_v for_o obtain_v of_o child_n peace_n long_a life_n etc._n etc._n and_o therefore_o they_o be_v say_v to_o cleanse_v the_o body_n not_o the_o soul_n to_o be_v empty_a and_o poor_a element_n whereas_o the_o new_a law_n do_v bring_v we_o to_o love_v and_o serve_v god_n by_o the_o immediate_a promise_n of_o supernatural_a reward_n and_o so_o the_o sacrament_n of_o christian_n if_o they_o be_v worthy_o receive_v do_v give_v the_o thing_n themselves_o which_o these_o corporal_a promise_n do_v signify_v that_o be_v celestial_a good_n as_o baptism_n make_v a_o man_n to_o be_v one_o who_o share_n be_v in_o heaven_n etc._n etc._n 5._o how_o many_o sacrament_n be_v there_o there_o be_v seven_o baptism_n confirmation_n holy_a euchariste_n pennance_n extreme_a unction_n order_n and_o matrimony_n 6._o but_o what_o say_v you_o to_o these_o who_o tell_v we_o that_o to_o it_o be_v not_o where_o put_v down_o in_o scripture_n express_o that_o the_o number_n of_o sacrament_n institute_v by_o christ_n be_v seven_o neither_o more_o nor_o less_o i_o answer_v that_o it_o be_v not_o also_o set_v down_o in_o scripture_n that_o there_o be_v only_o two_o sacrament_n baptism_n and_o euchariste_n and_o no_o more_o or_o that_o these_o very_a two_o be_v sacrament_n and_o yet_o no_o man_n doubt_v of_o they_o wherefore_o as_o we_o gather_v out_o of_o scripture_n that_o these_o two_o be_v sacrament_n because_o they_o have_v all_o thing_n essential_a to_o a_o sacrament_n that_o be_v that_o they_o confer_v grace_n by_o a_o outward_a sensible_a sign_n so_o do_v we_o by_o the_o same_o rule_n sinde_v in_o scripture_n that_o there_o be_v seven_o sacrament_n neither_o more_o nor_o few_o beside_o we_o be_v assure_v of_o the_o same_o by_o tradition_n which_o be_v the_o main_a ground_n of_o christian_a religion_n moreover_o do_v not_o the_o protestant_n admit_v that_o there_o be_v twelve_o principal_a article_n of_o our_o belief_n to_o which_o all_o the_o rest_n be_v reduce_v and_o yet_o where_o do_v they_o find_v this_o number_n express_o in_o scripture_n 7._o be_v none_o of_o these_o seven_o sacrament_n institute_v by_o man_n but_o all_o by_o christ_n himself_o no_o not_o any_o one_o of_o they_o for_o as_o god_n alone_o be_v the_o sole_a fountain_n of_o all_o justice_n grace_n and_o purity_n so_o he_o have_v think_v good_a not_o to_o communicate_v to_o any_o but_o to_o reserve_v unto_o his_o only_a son_n the_o power_n to_o ordain_v sacrament_n which_o be_v the_o principal_a instrument_n that_o produce_v grace_n and_o purify_v we_o from_o sin_n 8._o why_o do_v he_o institute_v they_o in_o the_o number_n of_o seven_o because_o our_o spiritual_a life_n be_v proportion_v to_o our_o corporal_a now_o in_o our_o corporal_a life_n these_o thing_n be_v require_v first_o to_o be_v bear_v that_o be_v to_o begin_v
