Sect. 89. Voetius, de Desperata causa Papatus, lib. 2. sect. 2 cap. 20. doth by seven Arguments prove against Jansenius, Electionem tribuere Ministerium: & esse proprie ejus fundamentum. The first Argument is from the Definition of Election: the second from the Canon Law, which giveth a Bishop his power before Consecration, and gives the Pope a power of governing the Church before he is enthroned or Consecrated. The third is à similibus, in Economy and Policy: the foundation of marriage union is mutual Consent, and not Solemnization. Coronation (saith he) doth not make a King (he means, not fundamentally, but compleatively,) but hereditary Succession or Election. He may well be a King without Coronation, as (saith he) the custom is in Castile, Portugal, &c. The King of France dependeth not pro jure regni on the Archbishop of Rhemes, but saith Barclay, hath the right and honour of a King before his Coronation. An elect Emperor governeth before his Coronation. Quoad potestatem administrandi regni (Galli•i) unctio & Coronatio nihil addunt inquit Commentator sanctionis pragmat. fol. 4. His fourth Argument is from the nature of all Relations, quae posito fundamento & termino, in subjecto ⟨p. 231⟩dicuntur existere: atqui Solemnizatio, seu Consecratio, seu Ordinatio, seu Investitura ([Greek or Hebrew] vacant patres Graeci) illa externa quam nos confirmationem dicimus, neque est fundamentum, neque terminus Ministerii, aut Ministri; sed legitima electio & [Greek or Hebrew] Ecclesiae est fundamentum Ministerii, & ista vel illa particularis Ecclesia est terminus, in quo est correlatum Oves seu discipuli, ad quod refertur relatum Doctoris seu Pastoris. (Though some of this need explication and limitation, yet its worthy consideration.) His fifth Argument is from the Confessions of the Adversaries, citing Sylvest. Prieras, Immanuel Sa, Onuphrius, Navarrus, yea Bellarmine and Pope Nicola•, who maintain that [In summo Pontifice p•st Electionem nulla alia requiritur confirmatio; quia statim ut electus est suscipit administrationem. And to this agreeth their Practice, who at the Council of Trent had many Bishops merely Elect, and Elect Cardinals are admitted to Elect a Pope. His sixth Argument is [Quod Consecratio seu Investitura potest ab•sse aliquo in Casu: Electio autem nunquam: ergo fundamentum Ministerii seu potestatis Ecclesiasticae est Electio & non Consecratio;
