9. Proposition. Extreame vnction is no Sacrament.

Page 157

The Papists doe take Anoiling of the sick (which they call extreame Vnction) for a Sacrament, whereof (as they write.)

The matter is oile hallowed by a Bishop; wherewith the sick person is annoiled vpon the Eies, Eares, Mouth, Nose, Hands, and Feete.

The Form is the words, which the Preist, speaketh, when hee doth annoint the sick person in the foresaid places, saying: By this Oile God forgiue thee thy sinnes, which thou hast com∣mitted by thine Eies, Nose, Eares, and Mouth, by thine Hands, and by thy feete: all the Angels, Archangells, Patriarches, Pro∣phets, Apostles, Euāgelists, Martyrs, Confessours, Virgins, Wid∣dowes, Infants, heale thee.

The Minister therof vsually is a priest; but may be any other Christian.

The effect of annoiling is to purge, and put away veniall sinnes, committed by mispending of our senses; as also sinnes forgotten.

In this antichristian doctrine many errors be contained. For

In respect of the matter, the Papists make of greasie matter, a spiritual ointment; whereas there is none ointment spirituall but the holy Ghost.

In respect of the forme, the onely propitiator, and media∣tour betweene God, and man, Christ Iesus is blasphemed; and the merit, and power of his death, ascribed vnto greasie oile. Besides, Christ is not acknowledged for the onely Sauiour of mankinde, and Physitian of our soules; but other Physitians be called vpon besides him.

In respect of the minister, they hold how any mā hath pow∣er to forgiue sinns which belongeth vnto God alone: also, that other men, yea women (and not the minsters of the word one∣ly) may be minsters of the Sacraments.

In respect of the effect, they teach vs (which is vtterly vn∣true,

that neither all sinnes be mortall; nor that Christ hath cleansed such as be his from all their sinnes, by his pretious blood.
