The rest of S. Basiles Traditions stand in hallowing of Water: in Blessing of Oil: 1in Praying towards the East: in uttering certain words of Invocation at the showing forth of the Bread of Thanksgiving unto the people. These things, I believe, M. Harding him self never thought to be Equivalent with the Word of God.

But if these, and other like Traditions be so weighty, and so necessary, as he ⟨p. 196⟩seemeth to make them,1 then let him tell us in good soothe, and without fable: what were these Mystical Solemn Words of Invocation, that S. Bas•le saith were spoken by the Priest, at the Opening, or showing forth of y• Sacrament? If they be so necessary to be used, and continued in the Church of God, why hath he, & his whole Romaine Clergy quite forgotten them? If he, and his Clergy have forgotten them, and use them not, and care not for them, how can he say, or may we think, they are so necessary to Salvation?
