The aunswere.

In the primitiue Churche, the Elders of the Churche, had the gifte of healyng, and therefore, when any man was sicke, thei vsed to sende for the Elders of the Churche, who praied for hym, and anoin∣ted hym with Oile, in the name of the Lorde, by whiche Ceremonie, it pleased GOD, to restore the partie to healthe, as you maie read in the v. Chapiter of sainct Iames. And in the sixte of saincte Markes Gospell wee reade, that the Apostles be∣yng sente abroade of Christe, to preache, and woorke miracles, vsed by the same ceremonie, to heale many that were sick. But now whē the gifte of healyng, conti∣nueth not in the Churche, it were a verie ridiculous thyng, to vse that Ceremonie. And as for your extreme vnction, by no meanes can be accompted that vsage, of the Apostles, for you anoint none almost, but suche as are past hope of recouerie, so farre you are frō restoring any to healthe by your beggerly ceremonie.
