there

he
commaunded
that

In
this
present
question
(
of
sacrifice
)
Austin
doth
not
agree
with
him selfe
.
S.
Austin
It
is
not
to
be
doubted
but
that
the
dead
are
holpen
by
the
prayers
of
the
holy
Church
,
and
by
the
wholsome
sacrifice
,
and
Almes
,
which
are
geuen
for
their
soules
,
that
our
Lord
may
deale
more
mercifully
with
them
then
their
sinnes
haue
deserued
.
for
the
vniuersal
Church
obserueth
this
as
deliuered
from
their
forefathers
,
that
those
should
be
prayed
for
,
and
the
sacrifice
remembred
to
be
offered
for
them
who
dye
in
the
communion
of
the
body
and
bloud
of
Christ
,
when
they
are
remembred
in
their
place
at
the
time
of
the
sacrifice
&c.
It
is
not
to
be
doubted
,
but
that
these
thinges
do
profit
the
deade
,
but
such
,
who
haue
so
liued
before
their
death
,
that
these
things
might
be
profitable
to
them
after

ob●ayned

Let

for
he
ought
to
know
what
he
is
to

,
the
power

requireth
this
.
No

They

it

We

,
not

to
God
,
but
also
to

but
I
would
not

thee
deceiued

for
his

If

A

Sacrament
of

commended
to
the

that
are

saith
,

M.
Fulke
Austin
and
some
other
of
the

Fathers
take
it
,
that
Matrimony
is
a
great
mystery
of
the
coniunction
of
Christ
and
his
Church
.
S.

a
Sacrament
In

let

Children
,

&c.
A
Sacrament
which
the
husbandes
,
seperated

do
not
loose
.
The
good
of
marriage
&c.
for
as
much
as
concerneth
the
people
of
God
,
is
in
the
sanctity
of
the
Sacrament
.
In
our
marriages
the
sanctity
of
the
Sacrament
is
of
greater
worth
then
the
fruictfulnes
of
the
wombe
.
not
only
the
bond
of
mariage
,
but
also
the
Sacrament
is
so
commended
,
that
it
is
not
lawful
for
a
husband
to
geue
his
wife
to
another
.
S.
Austin
By
reason
of
onely
fornication
it
is
lawful
to
dismisse
a
wife
committing
adultery
,
but
it
is
not
lawful
to
marry
another
whiles
she
liueth
.
He
that
dismisseth
his
wife
except
for
fornication
,
causeth
her
to
commit
adultery
,
but
if
for
this
cause
he
dismisse
her

The
opinion
of

is
,
that
it

the

This
also

prayer
for

,
S.

It
is
not
to
be
doubted
but
that
the
dead
are
holpen
by
the
prayers
of
the
holy
Church
,
and
by
the
wholsome
sacrifice
and
almes
which
are
geuen
for
their
soules
,
that
our
Lord
may
deale
more
mercifully
with
them
then
their
sinnes
haue
deserued
;
for
the
vniuersal
Church
obserueth
this
as
deliuered
from
their
forefathers
,
that
those
should
be
prayed
for
,
and
the
sacrifice
remembred
to
be
offered
for
them
,
who
dye
in
the
communion
of
the
body
and
bloud
of
Christ
,
when
they
are
remembred
in
their
place
at
the
time
of
the
sacrifice
&c.
It
is
not
to
be
doubted
,
but
that
these
thinges
do
profit
the
dead
,
but
such
,
who
haue
so
liued
before
their
death
,
that
these
thinges
may
be
profitable
to
them
after
their
death

for
such
as

worketh

and
the
Sacraments
,
in
vaine
are
these
workes
of
pitty
bestowed
vpon
them
by
their
frendes
&c
,
Therefore
no
new
merits
are
obtained
for
the
dead
,
when
their
frendes
do
any
good
for
them
,
but
their
owne
merits
going
before
,
these
are
made
to
follow

thinges
which
helpe

they

It
may
not
be
denyed

that

was
somtimes
faulty
in
ambition

desire

&c.
by
which
infirmity
of
Peter
,
doubtles
it
was
signifyed
,
that
those

which
bragged
of

succession
,
were
to
be
faulty
of
the
like
,
yea
with
greater
ambition
by

wherfore
this
so
peruerse
abition
of
Peter
and
ignorance
of
heauenly
thinges
,
and
negligence
withal
&c.
did
without
doubt
signify
that
the
Roman
Bishop
,
because
he
would
be
cheife
and
heire
of
Peters
priuiledges
,
was
to
be
ignorant
and
a
contemner
of
heauenly
thinges
,
and
one
desirous
of
human
riches
,
power
,
and
pleasures
.
The
affectation
of
Primacy
was
a
common
infirmity
of
the
Apostles
,
as
also
of
the
first
Bishops
of
the
Citie
of
Rome
.
The
Emperours
also
did
somtimes
assume
to
them selues
vnseasonably
the
iudgement
of
matters
of
faith
,
which
Athanasius
reprehendeth
in
Constantius
,
and
Ambrose
in

:
Osiander

answeared
,
o

do
not
trouble
thy selfe
to
thinke
that
thou
hast
any
imperial
right
ouer
heauenly
thinges
,
do
not
extol
thy selfe
&c.
Ambrose
saith
,
it
was
not
read
nor
h●ard
of
before
,
that
any
Emperour
was
iudge
ouer
a
Bishop
in
a
cause
of
faith
;
which
was
not
the
iudgment
of
Ambrose
onely
but
of
other
Bishops
round
about
.
M.
Fulke
Indeed
most
of
the
auncient
Fathers
did
iudge
that
the
Roman
Empire
should
first
be
decayed
before
Antichrist
were
reueled
:
for
as
much
as
they
haue
expounded
this
place
of
the
defection
of
the
Roman
Empire
,
it
is
more
friuolous
then
that
it
needeth
any

I
do
maruel
that
so
many

deceiued

easy
a

that

erred
