That Penance is a Sacrament,1 and so accounted among the Fathers, it is so evident, that who doubteth of it, may seem not to have perused their writings. S. Augustine in enchiridio ad Laurentium speaking of Baptism and Penance, calleth both, Salutaria Sacramenta, healthful Sacraments. S. Ambrose signifieth him self to be of the same mind, in his firste Book de Poentientia, Cap. 6. &. 7. and in the second Book, Cap. 2. though without putting the express name of Sacrament. But in the third Chapter of that Book he putteth the name of Sacrament expressly.

Touching Order,1 that is a Sacrament, also by verdict of S. Augustine, whom ye allege for you. Let us hear what he saith. In his second Book contra epist. Parmentani Cap. 13. these be his words, where he speaketh of Baptism, and of the Power to Baptize, which is given in the Sacrament of Order: Utrunque evim Sacramentum est, & quadam consecratione utiunque homini datur, illud cum Baptizatur, istud cum ordinatur. Ideo in Catholica non licet utrunque iterari: Either of them is a Sacrament, and with a certain Consecration either is given to man: the one when he is Baptized, the other when he taketh Orders. Therefore in the Catholic Church it is not lawful either of them to be taken twice.
