Sacraments Baptisme and Confirmation Confirmation not to bee separate from Baptisme are so vnited that vnlesse it bee by reason of death they may not bee parted and the one may not rightly bee giuen without the other Againe If the benefite of Regeneration suffice for them that are readie to die yet the helpe of Confirmation is necessarie Necessarie for them that are to liue S. Vrban Pope and Martyr Epistola ad om Christianos Christians must bee confirmed related in the Canons loco cit All the faithfull after baptisme must receaue the holy Ghost by imposition of hands of the Bishop that they may bee full Christians The Councell of Laodicea Canon 4. 8. The baptized Must bee cōfirmed must after baptisme receiue most holy Chrisme and bee made partakers of the holy kingdome Saint Pacian Epistola 3. How hath your people the holy Must bee cōfirmed Ghost whome an anointed Priest doth not signe The like had saint Cornelius aboue cited Saint Cyrill Cathechisme 3. mystag Hauing receiued this Not properly Christians without Confirmation guift of holy Chrisme you are rightly called Christians making true the naming in the regeneration For before this grace was giuen you you were not properly worthie of that name but going forward you are come so farre as you are made Christians The Councell of Orleans Cap. 3. cited in the Canons loco cit Hee shall neuer bee a Not Christians Christian vnlesse hee bee anointed vvith Episcopall Confirmation And why should these holy Councells and Fathers say that Confirmation is necessarie to Christians that Christians must bee confirmed that vvithout death Confirmation is not rightly separate from Baptisme that without Confirmation vvee are not full Christians not properly Christians and simply not Christians vnlesse they thought that Confirmation was at least necessarie by necessitie of precept Moreouer saint Leo Epistola S. Leo bewaileth want of Confirmation 73. al. 75. greately bewaileth that in a place the hallowing of Chrisme had failed which thing was to bee bewailed in England for many yeares And the Sea Apostolicke hath bene so loath that Christians should want Confirmation that sometimes shee hath giuen leaue to Priests to confirme for want of Bishops albeit many graue Diuines thinke that such power cannot bee giuen to Priests And likewise in times of Interdict when shee forbiddeth to minister extreme vnction yet shee forbiddeth not Confirmation no more then Baptisme or Confession which argueth that shee thinketh Confirmation to bee more necessarie then extreme vnction To the former sayings of Fathers wee may add that Hugo de sanct Victore related by saint Thomas 3. p. q. 72. art 8. affirmeth It would Daunger to die without Confirmation bee most daungerous if one should depart out of this life without Cōfirmation And though saint Thomas add that hee should not bee damned without cōtempt yet neither doth Hugo say that it were daungerous to die with contempt of Confirmation but without Confirmation which insinuateth a necessitie of Confirmation it selfe Neither perhaps doth saint Thomas there take Contempt so strictly as it is distinguished from negligence both for that wee shall say hereafter as also because him selfe there saith This is natures intention that euery one that is corporally borne doe come to perfect age And much more it is Gods intention to bring all thinges to perfection Gods intention that wee bee confirmed wherevppon it is said Deutr. 32. Gods workes are perfect And therefore this Sacrament must bee giuen to all And if it bee Gods intention that euery one bee confirmed and that euery one must bee confirmed this argueth that euen negligence of this Sacrament is daungerous as wee shall see more hereafter Cap. 6. CHAPTER V. That in England Christians are bound to bee confirmed by an expresse Commaund of diuers Prouinciall Councells ARchbishop Peckham in a Prouinciall Councell held at Lambeth Anno 1271. made this decree Manie Expres Cōmaund of Confirmation in England rashly neglect the Sacrament of Confirmation which damnable negligence wee resisting doe decree that none bee admitted to the Sacrament of the bodie and blood of our Lord except at the point of death vnlesse hee haue bene confirmed or iustly hindered from receiuing Confirmation In which decree I note that not contempt of Confirmation but euen rash negligen●e that is grosse negligence Euen negligence of Confirmation damnable thereof is counted damnable likewise that it cōmaundeth to receiue confirmation vnder a greate punishment to witt of not receauing the blessed Sacramēt which is a certaine signe that it commaundeth it vnder mortall sinne And this Priests must not communicate those that will not bee cōfirmed decree that Priests might better remember it is putt into the Rituall or Sacramētall of Sarum where also the Priest is appointed to cōmaund the Parents that they carry theire Child to the Bishop if hee come with in seauen Miles of them Stephen also Archbishop of Canterburie in a Prouinciall Councell at Oxford Anno 1230. commaundeth that Priests doe often admonish the People for Confirmation of their Children after Baptisme And Linwood l. 1. de Sacram. iter C. Ignorantia relateth these wordes of an other Prouinciall Canon Fiue Sacramēts debent must bee receiued of all Christians to witt Baptisme Confirmation c. Wherevppō Linwood saith They must bee Must of necessitie bee confirmed receiued of necessitie as appeareth by that word Debent ar de cel Miss C. exparte And besides these expresse Generall Custome of Englād to bee cōfirmed Canons there was such a generall Custome in Englād of beeing confirmed that as D. Saunders l. de Schism testifieth it was accounted infamous not to haue bene cōfirmed before one was seauen yeares old And as before wee said a generall Custome bindeth as well as a lawe So that in England there bee two strong bonds to bind Catholicks to bee confirmed to witt Prouinciall Canons and generall Custome Neither lett any thinke that these Canons or Canons of the Church of England not abrogated Custome are abrogated by this long Non-vse or discontinuance in time of Schisme For besides that these Canons were confirmed againe in a Prouinciall Councell held by Cardinall Pole in time of Queene Mary and this Custome then renewed with such ze●e of English Catholicks as in some places the Church could not conteine D. Saunders de Schism the People that flocked to the Bishop that hee was faine to confirme in the Church-yard and to bee defended by armed men from the presse of the people Besides I say this it is not mere Non-vse or not practise for wāt of the case of the lawe as was here in former times for want of a Bishop that doth abrogate a lawe as all Diuines and lawyers agree but it must bee a positiue practise against the lawe when the case of the lawe is But in England heretofore hath bene a mere Non vse of the said Canons ad Custome for want of a Bishop
