The TWENTY NINTH ARTICLE.

Of the Wicked, which eat not the Body of Christ

in the Use of the Lord's Supper. THE wicked, and juch as be void of a lively Faith,

although they do carnally and visibly press with their teeth (as St. Agustine faith) the sacrament of the body a id blood of Christ : yet in no wise are they partakers of Chrijt, but rather to their condemnation do eat and drink the sign or facrament of so great a thing.

St. Auftin in his Twenty fixth Tract on St. John has these Words; Ac per hoc qui non manet in Christo, & in quo non manet Christus, proculdubio nec manducat (Spiritaliter) carnem ejus, nec bibit ejus sanguinem (licet carnaliter & visibiliter premat dentibus sacramentum corporis & fanguinis Christi) fed magis tantæ rei sacramentum ad judicium sibi manducat & bibit. This Article therefore is taken from St. Austin, and the Church confirms the Doctrine contained in his Words, for the Truth of which see Art. 25. Prop. 9, 10.

the sins of the whole world, both original and a&tual; and there is none other satisfaction for fin, but that alone. Wherefore the sacrifices ef masses, in the which it was commonly said, that the priest did offer Christ for the quick and the dead, to bave remission of pain or guilt, were blasphemous fables, and dangerous deceits.

This Article contains Three Propositions.
1. The Offering of Christ once made, is that

3. The Sacrifices of Masses, in the which it was

commonly said, that the Priest did offer Chrift for the Quick and the Dead, to have Remisfion of Pain and Guilt, were blasphemous Fables and dangerous Deceits.

The First Proposition. See the Tenth Proposition of the Second Article.

The Second and Third Propositions. See the Twenty ninth Question of the Locus Decimus nonus of Turretin's System. From whence it necessarily follows, that thofe Sacrifices of Masses are blafphemous Fables and dangerous Deceits ; because they do so manifestly lessen the Honor of Christ's one Oblation on the Cross, and lead to a Thousand evil and superstitious Praetices. *************************** The THIRTY SECOND ARTICLE.

ISHOPS, Priests, and Deacons, are not comman-

ded by God's law, either. to vow the estate of single life, or to obstain from marriage : therefore it is lawful for them, as for all other christian men, to marry at their own discretion, as they fall judge the same to ferve better to godliness.

tion, as they shall judge the fame to serve better to Godliness.

The Second Proposition necessarily follows from the First. See the Twenty sixth Question of the Locus Decimus octavus of Turretin's System.
