V. VVhere the words of the institution are not re∣hearsed, there is no sacrament: & there∣fore without vse they bee nothing, but as they are in their owne nature.

But as we beleeue, that the signes are ad∣ded to the word, not for superstition, but for greater confirmation of our faith, so also that the word in administration of the sacraments is necessarie, not to charme vs, but to stirre vp faith in vs: so that where the words of the in∣sutution are not so rehearsed, that they may be heard, and vnderstood, whereby faith may be stirred vp: there we denie it to be a ttue sa∣crament: and therefore we affirme, that the signes without the lawfull vse, bee not Sacra∣ments, but onely the same thinges which they are of their owne nature, and nothing else. For the signes are translated, onely by the word, from their common vse to the holy vse: that which many call to be consecrated & hallow∣ed: and thereby is made a sacrament, euen as Augustine said, The word commeth to the element, and the sacrament is made, it commeth indeede, that it may be vnderstood and beleeued.
