a_o sacrament_n luther_n indeed_o do_v thus_o define_v it_o a_o sacrament_n be_v a_o promise_n annex_v to_o a_o external_a sign_n melancthon_n thus_o a_o sacrament_n be_v a_o rite_n which_o have_v the_o commandment_n of_o god_n to_o which_o be_v adjoin_v a_o promise_n of_o grace_n that_o be_v to_o say_v of_o free_a reconciliation_n or_o remission_n of_o sin_n as_o he_o explicate_v himself_o caluin_n in_o this_o manner_n a_o sacrament_n be_v a_o outward_a sign_n by_o the_o which_o ●_o calu._n l._n 4._o instit_fw-la cap._n 14._o §._o ●_o our_o lord_n do_v seal_v to_o our_o conscience_n the_o promise_n of_o his_o good_a will_n to_o underprop_v the_o weakness_n of_o our_o faith_n but_o very_o none_o of_o all_o these_o definition_n be_v in_o the_o scripture_n nay_o one_o of_o they_o do_v not_o agree_v with_o another_o for_o luther_n in_o his_o definition_n say_v that_o the_o promise_n be_v of_o the_o essence_n of_o a_o sacrament_n melancthon_n hould_v that_o it_o be_v annex_v to_o the_o sacrament_n but_o caluin_n insinuate_v in_o his_o that_o the_o promise_n be_v not_o annex_v to_o the_o sacrament_n but_o rather_o that_o the_o sacrament_n be_v annex_v and_o add_v to_o the_o promise_n and_o not_o that_o the_o promise_n be_v of_o the_o effect_n of_o god_n good_a will_n towards_o us._n therefore_o according_a to_o melancthon_n thus_o the_o promise_n be_v to_o be_v express_v if_o any_o shall_v receive_v the_o sacrament_n of_o baptism_n or_o of_o the_o eucharist_n he_o i_o promise_v the_o remission_n of_o his_o sin_n but_o according_a to_o caluin_n in_o this_o manner_n god_n have_v promise_v to_o you_o remission_n of_o sin_n and_o life_n everlasting_a and_o this_o promise_n he_o declare_v and_o seal_v by_o the_o sacrament_n three_o whatsoever_o be_v to_o be_v think_v of_o these_o definition_n which_o our_o adversary_n have_v new_o invent_v how_o will_v they_o show_v out_o of_o the_o scripture_n that_o they_o agree_v to_o baptism_n and_o the_o eucharist_n i_o for_o my_o part_n see_v not_o but_o let_v we_o try_v one_o definition_n be_v this_o a_o sacrament_n be_v a_o rite_n which_o have_v a_o commandment_n of_o god_n to_o which_o be_v annex_v a_o promise_n of_o remission_n of_o sin_n let_v our_o adversaries_n prove_v out_o of_o scripture_n that_o this_o definition_n be_v agreeable_a to_o the_o eucharist_n let_v they_o prove_v i_o say_v this_o out_o of_o scripture_n that_o the_o eucharist_n have_v a_o promise_n of_o remission_n of_o sin_n annex_v unto_o it_o or_o that_o which_o be_v all_o one_o that_o god_n in_o the_o scripture_n do_v promise_v we_o remission_n of_o our_o sin_n if_o we_o receive_v this_o sacrament_n they_o can_v never_o prove_v it_o for_o this_o sacrament_n be_v not_o ordain_v of_o god_n to_o remit_v a_o man_n his_o sin_n or_o to_o make_v of_o a_o wicked_a man_n or_o a_o sinner_n a_o just_a &_o holy_a man_n but_o rather_o it_o be_v institute_v to_o the_o end_n that_o it_o may_v nourish_v confirm_v and_o increase_v that_o justice_n grace_n and_o sanctity_n which_o be_v in_o he_o before_o he_o receive_v this_o sacrament_n nay_o rather_o it_o be_v so_o far_o off_o from_o remit_v of_o sin_n as_o it_o be_v pernicious_a to_o a_o sinner_n if_o he_o come_v to_o it_o know_v himself_o guilty_a of_o deadly_a sin_n hence_o it_o be_v of_o the_o apostle_n to_o the_o corinthian_n but_o let_v a_o man_n prove_v himself_o and_o so_o let_v he_o eat_v of_o that_o bread_n and_o drink_v of_o that_o chalice_n for_o he_o that_o eat_v and_o drink_v unworthy_o eat_v &_o drink_v judgement_n to_o himself_o and_o christ_n in_o his_o last_o supper_n will_v not_o give_v the_o eucharist_n to_o his_o apostle_n before_o he_o have_v wash_v their_o foot_n to_o the_o end_n that_o he_o may_v give_v we_o to_o understand_v that_o none_o unless_o they_o be_v wash_v pure_a and_o free_a from_o all_o mortal_a sin_n be_v to_o be_v admit_v to_o the_o holy_a table_n of_o our_o lord_n and_o the_o reason_n be_v plain_a out_o of_o the_o nature_n of_o this_o sacrament_n for_o what_o be_v the_o eucharist_n but_o a_o kind_n of_o spiritual_a meat_n and_o drink_v by_o the_o which_o our_o soul_n be_v refresh_v and_o make_v strong_a for_o my_o flesh_n say_v christ_n be_v true_o meat_n and_o my_o blood_n be_v true_o drink_v and_o therefore_o as_o corporal_a meat_n and_o drink_n do_v not_o profit_v the_o body_n unless_o it_o be_v alive_a even_o so_o neither_o the_o eucharist_n do_v help_v the_o soul_n unless_o it_o be_v void_a of_o sin_n which_o be_v the_o death_n of_o the_o soul_n the_o three_o controversy_n be_v whether_o exorcism_n and_o other_o ceremony_n use_v in_o the_o catholic_a church_n may_v be_v admit_v in_o baptism_n that_o lutheran_n admit_v they_o the_o caluinist_n reject_v they_o yet_o neither_o of_o they_o both_o can_v confirm_v their_o opinion_n out_o scripture_n not_o the_o lutheran_n because_o the_o scripture_n in_o no_o place_n make_v mention_v that_o such_o ceremony_n ought_v to_o be_v use_v but_o only_o we_o receive_v they_o from_o the_o tradition_n of_o the_o church_n of_o the_o which_o thus_o s._n augustine_n write_v by_o the_o most_o ancient_a tradition_n of_o the_o church_n say_v he_o child_n be_v exercise_v 29._o aug_n l._n 2._o the_o nupt_a &_o concup_n cap._n 29._o and_o breathe_v upon_o that_o they_o may_v be_v translate_v to_o the_o kingdom_n of_o christ_n from_o the_o power_n of_o darkness_n not_o the_o caluinist_n without_o it_o be_v in_o this_o manner_n no_o ceremony_n be_v to_o be_v use_v in_o the_o church_n but_o those_o of_o the_o which_o there_o be_v express_a command_n in_o the_o scripture_n but_o there_o be_v no_o command_n of_o the_o ceremony_n which_o the_o catholic_n use_v in_o baptism_n therefore_o such_o ceremony_n be_v not_o to_o be_v use_v but_o the_o mayor_n be_v both_o false_a and_o contrary_a to_o the_o caluinist_n themselves_o for_o the_o caluinist_n do_v use_v many_o ceremony_n in_o baptism_n of_o the_o which_o there_o be_v no_o command_n in_o the_o whole_a suripture_n such_o be_v these_o 1._o that_o the_o infant_n must_v be_v baptize_v before_o all_o the_o people_n and_o that_o it_o shall_v be_v on_o a_o sunday_n or_o some_o other_o day_n when_o the_o people_n be_v wont_a to_o come_v together_o 2._o that_o they_o who_o bring_v the_o infant_n to_o be_v baptize_v shall_v be_v ask_v whether_o they_o will_v promise_v to_o instruct_v the_o child_n in_o faith_n and_o manner_n after_o he_o shall_v grow_v to_o perfect_a age_n 3._o that_o a_o name_n shall_v be_v impose_v upon_o the_o infant_n who_o be_v baptize_v 4._o that_o the_o form_n of_o baptism_n shall_v be_v pronounce_v in_o their_o country_n language_n 5._o that_o the_o creed_n our_o lord_n prayer_n &_o other_o also_o shall_v be_v recite_v which_o ceremony_n caluin_n prescribe_v in_o a_o little_a book_n treat_v of_o the_o form_n of_o minister_a the_o sacrament_n but_o where_o i_o pray_v you_o be_v command_v in_o scripture_n baptism_n ought_v to_o be_v minister_v certain_o in_o no_o place_n hence_o therefore_o follow_v that_o either_o they_o must_v reject_v all_o those_o their_o ceremony_n or_o else_o grant_v that_o all_o those_o which_o we_o use_v be_v not_o therefore_o to_o be_v condemn_v because_o they_o be_v not_o express_o command_v in_o scripture_n the_o four_o controversy_n whether_o those_o who_o be_v baptize_v of_o heretic_n be_v to_o be_v baptize_v again_o s._n crprian_n in_o time_n past_o who_o be_v bishop_n of_o carthage_n do_v affirm_v it_o with_o some_o other_o but_o s._n augustine_n do_v deny_v it_o and_o follow_v that_o doctrine_n which_o be_v more_o true_a the_o which_o he_o do_v defend_v by_o no_o other_o mean_n then_o by_o the_o apostolical_a tradition_n &_o practice_v of_o the_o church_n for_o so_o he_o write_v against_o the_o donatist_n which_o custom_n say_v he_o to_o wit_v that_o baptism_n may_v not_o be_v iterate_v i_o believe_v to_o have_v proceed_v 7._o aug._n

it_o beginning_n from_o the_o apostolical_a tradition_n to_o the_o which_o cyprian_n do_v not_o yield_v because_o it_o seem_v to_o he_o utter_o destitute_a of_o any_o authority_n from_o the_o scripture_n there_o be_v many_o other_o such_o like_a controversy_n which_o can_v be_v decide_v out_o of_o scripture_n alone_o but_o they_o must_v of_o necessity_n have_v some_o other_o judge_n
