And observe, that in the aspersion of the church the bishop useth only the linen and inferior vestments: but at the Mass he is adorned with pontifical and precious vestments, because the high priest in the law used to expiate the sanctuary in a linen ephod, and afterwards used to offer the ram for the burnt offering being washed and arrayed in the high priest's vestments. But because he used to send forth the scapegoat after the expiation being clothed in the same linen ephod, on this account some, in the consecration of fonts and immersion of the catechumens where their sins are transferred, do use the simple linen vestments. {133} CHAPTER VIII OF CONSECRATIONS AND UNCTIONS Of Chrism--Of the name Christ, and of Christians--The Heresy of the Arnaldistae--The Anointing of Priests--Of Bishops--Of Kings--Of the Consecration of Chalices and Patens--Of Extreme Unction--Of the Benediction of Church Ornaments. 1. We read that the Lord commanded Moses [Footnote 489] to make a chrism, with which unguent to anoint the tabernacle at the time of the dedication, and the ark of the testimony, and the table, together with the vessels; and with which also the priests and kings should be anointed. Yet Moses himself is not said to have been anointed, except with a spiritual unction, as also was Christ. [Footnote 489: Exodus xxx, 22.] 2. Christ hath willed that we should be anointed with a material unction in order that we may by it obtain the spiritual unction: and on this account our loving Mother, the Church, provideth different sorts of unction. Upon which let us here touch lightly, Saying-- I. What unctions of this sort signify. II. Of what they be made. III. Of the unction before baptism. IV. Of the unction after baptism, which is performed by the bishop on the forehead. V. Of the unction in ordination. {134} VI. Of the unction in consecrating bishops and princes. VII. Of the unction of a church, altar, chalice, and other ecclesiastical instruments. VIII. Of extreme unction. IX. Of the consecration and benediction of a cemetery, vestments, and other ecclesiastical ornaments. X. Of the consecration and benediction of virgins.
