by theis exteriour Sacraments or elements of water brede and wyne serue our senses to moue monisshe and to counforte vs inwardly So sayd he vnto the peple of Israel by Moses For this cause haue I

once as we shalbe al togither spirituall immortall gloriouse et cetera clogged nomore w t this carnall burden of our corruptible foryetfull flesshe then nedeth it not vs any more to be thus fed with siche sensible elements symbols rytes or Sacraments ¶ A Sacrament instituted of God what it is A Sacrament therefore is an outwarde sensible signe whereby God declareth and testifyeth vnto the worthey receyuers thereof his good mynde beneuolence and fauour vnto vs whereby also he sustayneth and helpeth y e weaknes of our faith Or a Sacrament is a testimonye of his graciouse goodnes declared vnto vs

holy rememberances of his promises which vnder terrene erthy sygnes represent and as it were before our eyes layeforth celestiall gyftis call awaye our mynde euē frome the terrene sygnes elemēts vnto

did Austen wryte in his c.xvii● pistle vnto Ianuarium That as God the father did conseigne gather vnto hym the Iewes by the badges lyueryes of circuncision eating of the passouer lombe So did Christ as it were with the newe lyueryes and cognyzances of Baptyme and the Souper gather and retayne into his seruyce the societe chirche of the newe peple euen the Christianes And the vse or action or dewe ministraciō of these sacramēts do excercyse our faith and maketh vs the more adsewered of his good will towerd vs as dothe y ● seall added to the obligaciō adsewer vs more certaynely of the mans bōde promise to be performed God promised Abraham to be his God also y ● God of his sead Gen̄ xvij vpō this cōdiciō y t he his shuld walke innocētly before hym which is wholly to depēde by faith hope vpō

so fauourablye made without any deseruing before so to haue ben euer in will to performe his parte that is to weit to walke innocently before God But because the weakenes of our faith namely in so stronge temptaciōs the oblyuiouse fraylte of our flesshe requireth as god well knoweth some sensible signe or sacramēt more presētly to certifye confirme vs to be put euer in mynde of his so ientle a

olde sacramēts with the newe NOwe as vnder the grace of the Gospell Baptyme succeded in the stede of circuncision euē so doth the lordis souper folowe in the place of the olde passouer as the more

member and also in the slaying of the passh lombe with whose blode the doors and wyndows wer strykē and crossed Also as by Baptyme we be iniciated we professe and be cōseigned vnto the worship of one God into the faith of one the same Christen religion euē so by the same faithe and loue expressed at the lordis souper we declare our selues to perseuer in our profession now incorporated into Christ as the very members of y t mystik bodye whereof Christ is onely the head By the circuncision and the passouer
nother so encreaseth our faithe lyke the musterde sead aftyr many ioyfull cōfortable promyses in Crist he promiseth to geue vs his own body to be crucifyed and his bloude to be forthe drawne into the forgeuenes of our synnes When our faith therfore apprehēdeth this promise stedfastly then may not syn nor deth fere vs nomore for dethe is swallowed vp into victory the sting of dethe is blonted y ● power strength of syn euen the lawe is enerued one ioynte shakē from a nother all by the victory of Cristes deth resurreccion whiche victorye is geuen to vs by Iesu Crist.
