In what predicament is a Sacrament?
To wit, of Relation, so farre forth as it is considered as a signe, or a thing signifying, in respect of the end, or the scope where∣unto it is ordained, for a signe hath relation to the thing signified. Therefore a Sacrament,* 1.1 is in the predicament of Relatiues, that is of those things which haue relation to others. For Relatiues are such whose essence is nothing else but this, by some meanes to haue relation or reference to another thing.
And it is also in the predicament of Action, so farre, as being a visible action, it is commanded to be done with a certaine cere∣monie: For the water simply taken by it selfe, is not the bapti∣tisme, but the sprinkling of the water in a conuenient manner, to∣gether with the institution of Christ. Neither are the bread and wine simply, & by themselues vnderstood, the Supper of the Lord, but the bread together with the breaking, distributing, taking and eating of bread, and drinking of wine, as it is ordained by Christ, for the remembrance of him.
