Excerpt from An Historical and Literary Account of the Formularies, Confessions of Faith, or Symbolic Books, of the Roman Catholic, Greek, and Principal Protestant Churches: By the Author of the Horae Biblicae, and Intended as a Supplement to That Work, and to the Sylloge Confessionum, Sub Tempus Reformandae Ecclesiae Editarum, Printed in 1804, at the Clarendon Press; To Which Are Added Four Essays I profess also, that there are truly and properly seven Sacra ments of the new law, instituted by Jesus Christ our Lord, and for the salvation of mankind, though all are not necessary for every one; viz. Baptism, confirmation, eucharist, penance, ex treme unction, order, and matrimony, and that they confer grace and of these, baptism, confirmation, and order, cannot be re iterated without sacrilege. I also receive and admit the ceremonies of the Catholic church, received and approved in the solemn administration of all the above said Sacraments.
