sundrie places, againe if one be restrained from the larger sig∣nification, & peculiarly applyed, signifie the Sacramentes of the Church, the other also. As, the Sacrament of the bodie and bloud of Christ: or, the Mysterie of the bodie and bloud of* 1.4 Christ: and the Caluinists in their Latine and Greeke Cate∣chisme say, two Sacramentes. or, two Mysteries.
FVLK. 2. The English worde secret signifieth fully as much as the Greeke worde 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, in which we must seeke no holinesse as papistes doe in vaine sounde of wordes: but in the matter annexed, which plainely ex∣presseth that it is a great secret of great holines where∣of the Apostle speaketh. And it is verie false that you say that the Latine worde sacramentum is equiualent to the Greeke: for both it signifieth an oth which ye Greke word doth not, and also it includeth holinesse which the Greeke worde doth not. Or else why sayth not your vulgar translator and you the sacrament of iniquitie. 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 therefore signifieth euerie secrete, sacramentum onely an holy sacrament, as when you say, Apoc. 17. the sacrament of the woman, the meaning is the secret to be reuealed concerning her is an holy thing: else in the same chapter you haue not a sacrament written in her forheade but a mysterie or secret Babylon the mo∣ther of abhominations. That the sacramentes are cal∣led mysteries we confesse, but that whatsoeuer is called a mysterie may also be called a sacrament, that doe we vtterly denie.
