Rh 14. Of the Resurrection of Christ; (the book adds) for Easter Day.

15. Of the worthy receiving of the Sacrament of the Body and Blood of Christ.

16. Of the Gifts of the Holy Ghost; or, an Homily concerning the coming down of the Holy Ghost, for Whitsunday.

17. For the Rogation-days ; or, an Homily for Rogation week.

18. Of the State of Matrimony.

19. Against Idleness.

20. Of Repentance, (the book adds) and true Reconciliation to God.

21. Against Rebellion; or, an Homily against Disobedience and wilful Rebellion.

Why cannot the Church be supposed to be pledged to every statement in the Homilies?

1. Because they are not drawn up with the carefulness of doctrinal treatises;

2. Because they are occasionally at variance with the Articles;

3. Because they are occasionally inconsistent with each other.

What particular Homily has special authority in matter of doctrine?

That on "the Salvation of all Mankind.

Why so?

Because it is specially referred to in the eleventh Article.
