CHAP. XIV.

IF the Priest forgets to say some of those things he ought to have said, he ought not to be troubled in mind for it. For he that speaketh much, doth not always re∣member, what he saith; yea although he certainly knoweth that he hath left out somewhat, yet let him go on, and make no Rehersal thereof, considering that there are no such things necessarily required in the Sacrament as are Secrets or some other words of the Canon, nevertheless if he ma∣nifestly perceive, that he hath left out somewhat that of necessity is to be used in the Sacrament, (as the form of the words of Consecration) he ought to Reherse o∣ver again * all the words of the Conse∣cration upon that matter; for otherwise it should be NO CONSECRATION, which he needed not do, if many other things had been omitted. This Conjunction (E∣nim) for, or the rest of the words which

go before or follow after the Form, are of not of its substance. But if the Priest should stand in Doubt whether he had left out some word appertaining to the substance in form or not, he ought by no means to keep the form, but may without any rash asser∣tion amend all the order and form concern∣ing his own matter, with this intention, that if he had once Consecrated, he would by no means Consecrate again; But if he had not so Consecrated, that then he would Consecrate both Body and Blood.

Note.

* These Spiritual Conjurers make a kind of Magical Charm of their Sacramental words; for if the Priest mistakes one word or syllable, all's stark naught, and ineffectual—For all the world like the ••lack-Art-men, who in their Incantations must not miss a syllable of their form of Devilism, if they do, the Inchantment signifies no more than this Con∣secration. VVe find Christ and his Apostles at their holy supper did not strictly tie themselves, yet all agreeing in substance to one Form. But these Priests never follow any form mentioned in Scrip∣ture, but impudently use a Form of their own In∣vention.
