it was a Symbole of admirable and supernatural vertue And had he not reason so to say For oyle of it selfe could not be naturally the Antidote of all diseases and albeit it were yet the Apostles were not sent to practice phisick but to preach the ghospell Yea it were a thing both ridiculous and impious to make them Triaclers Druggers or Paracelsians Marc. 16.18 They shall lay handes on the sicke and they shall recouer But first our Reformers are no true Priests Secondly they lay not their handes vpon the sick Thirdly they annoint them not with oyle in the name of the Lord as S.

Iac. with many others XLIII That no interiour Grace is giuen by imposition of handes in holy Orders And that ordinary Vocation and Mission of Pastours is not necessary in the Church COntrary to the expresse wordes of their owne Bible 1. Tim. 4.14 Neglect not the gift we read grace that is in thee which was giuen thee by Prophesy with the laying on the hands of the Presbitery Loe how playne it is that holy Orders doe giue grace Doctour Kellison handling this question touching the mission of the Reformers proueth learnedly in his Reply pag. 7. 44. that this foundation being disproued the whole frame of their Church and Religion falleth yea that they haue neither true faith nor worship of God and his reason is this If faith depend of hearing hearing of preaching preaching and administration of Sacraments of ministers and preachers and preachers ministers of their mission where there is no mission as they haue none there can be no true fayth nor lawfull administration of Sacraments and consequently no Religion Therfore vocation is necessary in the Church 1. Tim. 1.6 Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir vp the gift of God which is in thee by the putting on of my hands Loe how playne the holy Scripture is against them But they reply that laying on of hands is not needfull to them who haue already in them the spirit of God and inward annointing of the holy Ghost To which very question Theodoret maketh answere that God commanded Moyses Numb 27. to lay his hands vpon Iosue wheras by the testimony of God himselfe Iosue had already in him the spirit of God S. Paul althogh he were called immediatly from heauen yet was afterward sent with laying on of hands Acts 13.3 Heb. 5.4 And no man taketh this honour vnto himselfe but he that is called of God as was Aaron Heere our Aduersaries reply agayne that Aaron had no externall vocation But this is easily solued for Aaron was the first of his Order and therefore could not haue his calling by succession and whose case is farre vnlike to our Reformers vnles they will confesse also that they are the first or their order wherein they shall be easily belieued See more Act. 13.2 Tim. 1.6.1 Tim. 5.22.2 Tim. 1.8 Nūb. 27.23 ¶ See also the Fathers S.

Tim. 5.11.12 But the younger widdowes refuse for when they haue begun to wax wanton against Christ they will marry hauing damnation because they haue cast off their first fayth All the auncient Fathers that write vpon this place expound these words of the Apostle of the vow of Chastity or of the faith and promise made to Christ to liue continently as is abundantly proued in the Rhemes Testament vpon this place 1. Tim. 5.15 For some are already turned aside after Sathan Loe to marry after the vow of chastity once made is heere termed by the Apostle himselfe turning aside after Sathan And herupon it is that we call the Religious that after marry as Luther Bucher Peter Martyr and the rest of that lasciuious rabble Apostata's Gods adulterers incestuous sacrilegious and like See more Psal 66.16 Numb 6.2.18 Iosue 21.26 Ierem. 35.18 Eccles 5.3 Act. 21.23 ¶ See also the Fathers in confirmation heerof S.

XLV That fasting and abstinence from certaine meates is not grounded on holy Scripture nor causeth any spirituall good COntrary to the expresse wordes of their owne Bible Ierem 35.5 And I set before the sonnes of the house of the Rechabits pots full of wine and wine-cups and I said vnto them drinke yee wine But they said we will drinke no wine for Ionadab the sonne of Rechab our Father commanded vs saying Yee shall drinke no wine neither yee nor your sonnes for euer Thus haue we obeyed Ionadab our Father in all that he hath charged vs. Therfore fasting is grounded in holy scripture Luc. 1.15 For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord and shall drinke neither wine nor stronge drinke Loe abstinence not only foretould but also prescribed by the Angell which plainly proueth that it was both a worthy thing and also an act of Religion in S. Iohn Baptist as it was in the Nazarites and Rechabits afore-mentioned Actes 13.3 And when they had fasted and prayed and laid their handes on them they sent them away Hence the Church of God hath sufficient ground and warrant for the vsing and prescribing of publique fastes which was not fasting from sinne as our Reformers forsooth pretend for such fasting they were euer bound to keep and that at such times or seasons as the Church pleased to prescribe as in Lent or the like and not when euery man lists or the toy takes him in the head as Aerius and other Hereticks did teach testified
