although_o a_o sacrament_n admit_v of_o figure_n which_o no_o man_n be_v so_o absurd_a as_o to_o deny_v since_o it_o be_v of_o the_o very_a nature_n of_o a_o sacrament_n to_o represent_v and_o exhibit_v some_o invisible_a grace_n and_o benefit_n by_o a_o outward_a sign_n and_o figure_n yet_o the_o figure_n do_v not_o lie_v where_o the_o author_n pretend_v it_o do_v the_o rule_n which_o
