Annotations
12They would sacrifice. This lo is the divine worship, consisting in external sacrifice, and is acknowledged by the parties worshipped to be gods: which may be done to no man nor creature, and therefore the Apostles refuse it with all possible diligence, and all the Angels and Saints in heaven refuse that adoration by sacrifice. The Catholic Church suffereth no Priest nor other to worship any Saint in heaven or earth. She hath but one external Sacrifice, which is in the holy Mass, of Christ's body and blood: that she offereth to God alone, and neither to Peter nor to Paul (saith St. Augustine) though the Priest that sacrificeth, standeth over their bodies, and offereth in their memory. But other kinds of honours and duties, inferior without comparison (how great so ever they be) to this, we do, as the Scriptures and Nature teach us, to all Superiors in heaven and earth, according to the degrees of grace, honour, and blessedness that God hath called them unto, from our B. Lady Christ's own mother, to the least servant he hath in the world. for which the Heretics would never accuse Christian people of Idolatry, if they had either grace, learning, faith, or natural affection.
22And ordained. The Heretics, to make the world believe that all Priests ought to be chosen by the voices of the people, and that they need no other Ordering or Consecration but the people's election, pressing the profane use of the Greek word more than the very natural signification of the word, which the Ecclesiastical use braveth, translate thus, Ordained by election. Whereas in deed this word in Scripture signifieth, Ordering by imposition of hands, as is plain by other words equivalent, Act. 6, 11. 1 Tim. 4. 5. 2 Tim. 1. Where the Ordering of Deacons, Priests, and others is called Imposition of hands: not of the people, but of the Apostles. And this to be the Ecclesiastical use of the word.
