because_o this_o be_v to_o ruin_v the_o whole_a sacrament_n and_o to_o give_v up_o the_o victory_n to_o heretic_n for_o if_o imposition_n of_o hand_n be_v not_o the_o essential_a ceremony_n whereby_o this_o sacrament_n be_v to_o be_v exhibit_v order_n can_v never_o be_v prove_v a_o sacrament_n by_o scripture_n for_o whereas_o he_o seem_v to_o take_v it_o for_o grant_v that_o the_o matter_n of_o every_o sacrament_n ought_v to_o be_v determine_v in_o scripture_n he_o urge_v it_o well_o enough_o that_o the_o chalice_n and_o patten_n not_o be_v take_v notice_n of_o there_o that_o ordinance_n to_o which_o such_o unscriptural_a circumstance_n be_v essential_a can_v be_v no_o sacrament_n and_o this_o merbesius_n take_v to_o be_v more_o ancient_a and_o catholic_n though_o he_o acknowledge_v
