Excerpt from The Works of John Jewel, D.D., Bishop of Salisbury, Vol. 5 of 8 Of the number of the sacraments we shall have more convenient time to speak hereafter. There, gentle reader, I trust thou shalt see m.harding's great question easily answered, with what face we say we allow the sacraments of the church. In the mean season it may please thee to weigh these words of cardinal Bessarion, the bishop of Tusculum, one of M. Harding's especial catholic doctors Haec duo sola sacramenta in evangeliis manifesto tradz'ta 3:35:222g'e legimus: These only two sacraments we read to be de gagigistiw livered us plainly in the gospel. Here Bessarion nameth, not seven sacraments, as M. Harding doth, but only two. Certainly we refuse no sacrament, that ever was either ordained by Christ, or used and practised by the apostles.
