our_o confession_n of_o the_o sacrament_n and_o the_o same_o brief_a and_o plain_a and_o agreeable_a to_o the_o holy_a scripture_n and_o chief_a article_n of_o our_o christian_n faith_n i._o what_o we_o mean_v by_o the_o name_n of_o a_o sacrament_n we_o know_v that_o a_o sacrament_n be_v proper_o a_o holy_a covenant_n or_o oath_n and_o promise_n on_o both_o side_n that_o be_v make_v between_o god_n &_o his_o people_n not_o simple_o but_o establish_v and_o confirm_v by_o sacred_a rite_n &_o ceremony_n as_o it_o manifest_o appear_v in_o the_o sacrament_n of_o circumcision_n between_o god_n and_o abraham_n and_o between_o christ_n and_o we_o in_o baptism_n which_o succeed_v the_o circumcision_n therefore_o sacrament_n be_v often_o take_v of_o the_o father_n for_o that_o whole_a action_n

last_o signification_n have_v be_v much_o use_v in_o the_o church_n we_o therefore_o call_v a_o sacrament_n according_a to_o the_o signification_n receive_v in_o the_o church_n not_o the_o word_n

of_o what_o part_n a_o sacrament_n consist_v hereby_o also_o we_o know_v of_o what_o part_n proper_o consist_v a_o sacrament_n namely_o of_o the_o word_n and_o outward_a sign_n but_o so_o as_o they_o

the_o sign_n may_v represent_v to_o our_o eye_n &_o other_o sense_n and_o so_o may_v confirm_v the_o word_n and_o promise_n of_o god_n and_o as_o by_o the_o word_n faith_n be_v stir_v up_o in_o our_o
