Unction Extreme

.—In the Popish or Romish or Baby-lonish Church, this is the ceremony of daubing, with linseed or lamp-oil (I don’t know which) the body of a dying Roman Catholic. It however is of use, as it serves very well as basting before they are roasted, which is what Divines call “kingdom come.”
