Besides this there is an other thing. Al papists do plainly testify, that unless a man be marked in the forehead with Chrism by the Bishops hand, he is no christian: how so ever he be baptised, & believe in Christ Jesus. Whereof it followeth, that they attribute more to their confirmation & anointing of the Bishop, than to the christen faith. Read the book called Summa angelica in the title of confirmation. This therefore is a sealing of the Popish religion: the Christen marks of Christ are sufficient. The Pope also by an other way imprinteth his mark in the right hand of men, by he• ting of vows, & performing of oaths, as they term it. For they that make a vow in entering into any religion as they call it, as it were by a stipulation made, do bind themselves ⟨p. 424⟩to the Pope and See of Rome. Furthermore Antichrist the Pope by oaths also to be performed by the holding up of the right hand doeth bind and bring in danger to him, Emperors, Kings, Archbishops, Princes, Bishops, Doctors, Universities, and all states. They promise that they will attempt nothing against the church of Rome, nor against the high Bishop thereof, nor yet against the privileges and statutes of the See. There remain the manner of oaths in the decrees and decretals. I touch these things briefly. They see more, that shut not their eyes. And all men behold, how the Pope hath set his mark on the right hand and forehead of men.
