Confirmation.

The Arch Bishop shewed the Antiquity of Confirmation from the Apostles, till of late some particular Churches had rejected it: he declared the lawfull use thereof; and affirmed, that the Church of England did not hold Baptism imperfect without it, or added any thing to the virtue and strength thereof: this he manifested by the Rubricks in the Communion Book before Con∣firmation.

The Bishop of London said, It did not depend onely upon Antiquity, as in Cyprian, Ep. 73. and Hierom. adversus Lucife∣rian. but was one of the particular points of the Apostles Cate∣chism in express words, Heb. 6. 2. and so did Calvin expound that very place, which was read and approved.

That we made it not a Sacrament or Corroboration; and yet the King was of opinion, it might rather be intituled Examina∣tion with a Confirmation.
