Anointing of the Sick, Then and Now [Commentary on Browne: Article XXV (3)]

While Browne acknowledges four of the minor sacraments as legitimate rites of the church, he does not extend this recognition to the anointing of the sick: “Extreme Unction is an ordinance concerning which we differ from the Church of Rome more than on the other four.
