Bibliotheca parochialis: or, A scheme of such theological heads both general and particular, as are more peculiarly requisite to be well studied by every pastor of a parish. Part. I. Together with a catalogue of books which may be read upon each of those points. / By Thomas Bray ...

III. Concerning the Sacraments.

First, For explaining the general Nature of Sacra∣ments.

Dr. Towerson of the Sacraments in general.

N. The School-men have written with much subtilty and niceness upon the Subject, and may be usefully enough read in lo∣cum de Sacramentis. And there is also much excellent Learning on this Subject in Dodwel on Schism, Passim.

Secondly, Particularly for the Explication of each Sacrament distinctly.

1. Of Baptism.

First, Amongst the Ancient Writers.

• Tertullian de Baptismo.
• Sti. Paciani Libellus de Baptismo ad Catechumenos.
• Sti. Basilii de Baptismo, Lib. 2.
• Gregorii Nazianzeni Oratio in Sanctum Baptisma.
• Ambrosii de Initiandis Liber.
• — De Sacramentis Libri 4.
• Joseph Vice Comes de Antiquis Baptismi Ritibus.

Secondly, Amongst the Later and Modern Writers.

• Vossius de Baptismo, 4o.
• Harduini de Baptismo Quaestio triplex. 4o.
• Bp. Patrick's Aqua Genitalis, at the end of Mensa Mystica.
• Dr. Towerson's Fourth Part on the Catechism. Fol.

• Dr. Hicks's Case of Infant Baptism. In the London Cases
• Walker's Plea for Infant Baptism. 8o.
• Indecency and Unlawfulness of Baptizing in Private without necessity. 8o.

N. Here also may be read the Schoolmen with other Bo∣dies both Scholastical and Catechetical upon the Sacrament of Baptism.

Thirdly, And as Appendant to the Doctrine of Bap∣tism, it will be very requisite to have Writers upon the Doctrine of Confirmation.

• Bp. Taylor of Confirmation. 12o.
• Dr. Hammond de Confirmatione. 12o.
• Mr. Baxter of Confirmation.
• Mr. Camfield of Confirmation. 8o.

N. Here also may be read Dr. Cumber upon the Office of Confirmation in his Companion to the Temple, as also Bp. Pa∣trik's Discourse upon it, in his Aqua genitalis, from p. 489. to the end.

II. Of the Lords-Supper.

First, Amongst the Antient Fathers.

• Chrysostomi plurimae Homiliae.

N. There is little to be found of set Discourse towards the Explication of this Sacrament, in the Writings of the Fathers, by reason of the Humour then amongst them to conceal the Mysteries (for so they then affected to call this Sacrament especially) from the Infidels and Catechumens.

Secondly, Amongst later and more Modern Writers.

• Hospiniani Historia Sacramentaria, 2 Vol. Fol.
• Dr. Cudworth, 8o. or Fol. At the end of his Intellectual System.
• Dr. Towerson.
• Bp. Patricks Mensa Mystica 8o.
• Glanvil on the Sacrament. 12o.
• Dr. Pelling's Discourses on the Sacrament. 8o.
