[13b] Discussion with Mr. Pope. Report, p. 150. Comp. p. 158.
[14] The Canons of your Council of Trent on these are as follow—
“If any one shall say that Confirmation is not a true and proper Sacrament—let him be damned.” Can. 1. De Confirm.
“If any one shall say that Penance is not truly and properly a Sacrament—let him be damned.” Can. 1. De pæn. Sac.
“If any one shall say that Extreme Unction is not truly and properly a Sacrament—let him be damned.” Can. 1. De Sac. Ex. Unc.
And so of the others. I will here just say that this Canon adds “instituted by Christ”—institutum.—We shall presently see that this is an advance from the “insinuatum” of the Council.
[15a] Where did your Testament get “ease him?”
[15b] You are aware, perhaps, of the gross mistranslation of your Testament, in Eph. v. 32. to support this notion.—μυστηριον is mystery, not sacrament. But your French new Testament is bolder still, and actually foists in the words—le Sacrement de Mariage in 1 Cor. vii. 10.—and again in 2 Cor. vi. 14. and in 1 Tim. iv. 3. This is a very rare book,—a small thick octavo of 774 p. p.: I have examined it, but believe that there are now very few copies to be found. I saw one purchased by the present Lord Bishop of Cashel, at a public auction, for the enormous sum—if my memory does not fail me—of £40. Bishop Kidder, I think first called public attention to it—next Mr. Grier—and Archdeacon Cotton, in 1827, republished Bishop Kidder’s tract, with notes. I add here, that the book was published—“avec approbation et permission,” abundantly.
[16] I need scarcely say, however, to any one but moderately acquainted with the controversy, that the mere titles of the points of difference would occupy ten times the space of Bishop Doyle’s whole letter to Mr. Robertson. Willett’s Synopsis Papismi will afford a fair specimen to those desirous of one.
