But now in pleading for Confirmation by Bishops only, I would not be thought (as some slanderously insinuate we of the Church do endeavour) to make it a Sacrament, nay set it above either of the Sacraments instituted by our Blessed Saviour; because we allow a Deacon to officiate in the Lord's Supper, and a Priest to Baptize, but only a Bishop forsooth can confirm: No, in this we only follow the Institution and Practice of the Catholick Church, which reserv'd Solemn Benedictions as Acts of Paternal Authority to the Bishops alone; |
