Subdeacon, Deacon, Priest, Bishop, Cardinal, Patriarch and Pope, be names of offices and service, or should be, and not Sacraments. There is no promise coupled therewith. If they minister their offices truly, it is a sign that Christs spirit is in them, if not, that the devil is in them. Are these all Sacraments, or which one of them? Or what thing in them is that holy sign or Sacrament? The shaving or the anointing? What also is the promise that is signified thereby? But what word printeth in them that charact: that spiritual seal? O dreamers and natural beasts without the seal 1of the spirit of God: but sealed with the mark of the beast and with cankered consciences.

- 1Character.
There is a word called in Latin Sacerdos 1in Greek Hiercus, in Hebrew Cohan, that is, a Minister an officer, a sacrificer or a Priest, as Aaron was a Priest and sacrificed for the people and was a mediator between God & them. And in the English should it have had some other name then Priest? But Antichrist hath deceived us with unknown and strange terms, to bring us into confusion and superstitious blindness. Of that manner is Christ a Priest for ever, and all we Priests thorough him and need no more of any such Priest on earth to be a mean for us unto god. For Christ hath brought us all into the inner temple within the veil or forehanging, and unto the mercy stool of God. And hath coupled us unto God, where we offer every man for himself the desires & petitions of his hart, & sacrifice and kill the lusts & appetites of his flesh with prayer, fasting, & all manner godly living.
