WE cannot therefore but dislike those, which will have a Sacra∣ment to be even where no word is heard, but onely some visible signe seen. And those likewise, which make no distinction between the thing of the Sacrament, and the Sacrament; but will have it to be received into the mouth, as well as the Sacramen∣tall
signe: Whereas the thing of the Sacrament is that, which the signe coming under the judgement of our sense bringeth unto our minde, but letteth not fall into our hand or mouth. Neither yet do we like those, which in the Sacraments consider nothing else but what they see with their eyes: Nor yet those, which will have them to be onely badges & co∣gnizances to distinguish us from other people; or else but bare signes, and no instruments of the holy Ghost by which he worketh in us effectually, and confirmes us in the communion of Christ. But we condemne those, which institute new Sacraments, be∣side those which Christ himself hath instituted: And those also, which tye the grace of God and the things signified by the Sacraments, unto the Sacraments; in such manner, as if every one that receiveth the signes, might truely be said alwayes to par∣take also of the thing it self.
