ceived, as to consider all the vows which they have made since baptism to be invalid, by the force of the promise already made in baptism itself, as though by them they dishonoured the faith which they have professed, and baptism itself; let him be accursed.

promissionis in baptismo ipso jam factæ, irrita esse intelligant, quasi per ea, et fidei, quam professi sunt, detrahatur, et ipsi baptismo; anathema sit.

CANON X.

If any shall say, that all the sins which they have committed after baptism, are remitted, or rendered venial by the simple remembrance and belief of the baptism which they have received; let him be accursed.

Canon X.

Si quis dixerit, peccata omnia, quæ post baptismum fiunt, sola recordatione, et fide suscepti baptismi, vel dimitti, vel venialia fieri; anathema sit.

If any

CANON XI.

shall say, that true baptism, duly conferred

ought to be repeated for any one who has denied the faith of Christ among the infidels, and is converted to repentance; let him be accursed.

Canon XI.

Si quis dixerit, verum et rite collatum baptismum, iterandum esse illi, qui apud infideles fidem Christi negaverit, cum ad pœnitentiam convertitur; anathema sit.

CANON XII.

If any shall say, that no one is to be baptized, except at the age in which Christ was baptized, or at the point of death; let him be accursed.

Canon XII.

Si quis dixerit, neminem esse baptizandum, nisi ea ætate qua Christus baptizatus est, vel in ipso mortis articulo; anathema sit.

CANON XIII.

If say, that little children, upon reany shall ceiving baptism, are not to be counted among the faithful, inasmuch as they have not the power of believing; and that therefore, when they are come to years of discretion, they ought to be rebaptized; that it is better that the baptism should be omitted, than that they who cannot believe of themselves, should be baptized merely on the faith of the Church; let him be accursed.

Canon XIII.

Si quis dixerit, parvulos, eo quod actum credendi non habent, suscepto baptismo inter fideles computandos non esse; ac propterea, cum ad annos discretionis pervenerint, esse rebaptizandos; aut præstare, omitti eorum baptisma, quam eos non actu proprio credentes baptizari in sola fide Ecclesiæ; anathema sit.

CANON XIV.

If any shall say, that infants of this sort who have been baptized, should be questioned, when they are

Canon XIV.

Si quis dixerit, hujusmodi parvulos baptizatos, cum adoleverint, interrogandos esse, an ratum habere velint, quod patrini

grown up, whether they are willing to ratify what their god-parents promised in their name when they were baptized; and that, when they profess to be unwilling, they are to be left to their own will, and not in the meantime to be compelled to a Christian life, by any penalty except deprivation of the eucharist and the other sacraments, until they repent; let him be accursed.

eorum nomine, dum baptizarentur, polliciti sunt; et, ubi se nolle responderint, suo esse arbitrio relinquendos; nec alia interim pœna ad Christianam vitam cogendos, nisi ut ab eucharistiæ, aliorumque sacramentorum perceptione arceantur, donec resipiscant; anathema sit.

OF CONFIRMATION.

CANON I.

If any shall say, that the confirmation of baptized persons is an idle ceremony, and not rather a true and proper sacrament; or that formerly it was nothing more than a mere catechizing, in which they who were newly grown up gave an account of their faith before the Church; let him be accursed.

Canon I.

Si quis dixerit, confirmationem baptizatorum otiosam cæremoniam esse, et non potius verum et proprium sacramentum; aut olim nihil aliud fuisse, quam catechesim quamdam, qua adolescentiæ proximi fidei suæ rationem coram Ecclesia exponebant; anathema sit.

CANON II.

If any shall say, that they who ascribe any virtue to the holy anointing of confirmation, do injury to the Holy Spirit; let him be accursed.

Canon II.

Si quis dixerit, injurios esse Spiritui Sancto eos qui sacro confirmationis chrismati virtutem aliquam tribuunt; anathema

sit.

CANON III.

If any shall say, that the ordinary minister of holy confirmation is not the bishop alone, but any mere priest; let him be accursed.

Canon III.

Si quis dixerit, sanctæ confirmationis ordinarium ministrum non esse solum episcopum, sed quemvis simplicem sacerdotem; anathema sit.-Conc. xiv. 776-779.

SESSION XIII., A.D. 1551.

DECREE CONCERNING THE MOST HOLY SACRAMENT OF THE EUCHARIST.

CHAPTER I.-Of the Real Presence of our Lord Jesus Christ, in the most holy Sacrament of the Eucha

rist.

In the first place the holy Synod teaches, and openly and clearly professes, that in the benevolent sacrament of the holy Eucharist, after the consecration of the bread and wine, our Lord Jesus Christ, Very God and Man, is truly, really, and substantially contained under the appearance of those sensible elements. Nor is there any discordance in this, that the same, our Saviour, is always sitting at the right hand of the Father in heaven, according to the natural mode of existence, and yet nevertheless that

Caput 1.-De Reali Præsentia Domini nostri Jesu Christi in sanctissimo Eucharistiæ Sacramento.

Principio docet sancta Synodus, et aperte ac simpliciter profitetur, in almo sanctæ Eucharistiæ sacramento, post panis et vini consecrationem, Dominum nostrum Jesum Christum, Verum Deum atque Hominem, vere, realiter, ac substantialiter sub specie illarum rerum sensibilium contineri. Neque enim hæc inter se pugnant, ut ipse Salvator noster semper ad dextram Patris in cœlis assideat, juxta modum existendi naturalem, et ut multis nihilomi
