Yea in deede For seeing that the three persons are one only and the selfe same God inuocation or prayer doth equally belong vnto them And whether I call vpon the father in the name of the son by the holye ghost or that I make my praier vnto the loue to lead and bring me to the father or that I pray the holy ghost to teach me the father the sonne all commeth to one The eyght section Qu. 1 And vvhat is a Sacrament A.

No for our soules can not be clensed with any matter as our bodyes But this bloud maketh me cleane because that Iesus Christ hath shed it for satisfaction and ful recompence for my sinnes Qu 9 Is there anye difference betewene the water of Baptisme and common vvater A. No as concerning the matter and substance for it is alwayes water but there is very great difference as concerning the vse for the common water serueth to washe and make cleane our bodely filthinesses and the water vsed in Baptisme is a sacrament of the washing of our soules The ninth section Qu. 1 VVhat see you in the supper A.

Christ nowe according to hys humaine nature A. In heauen from whence he shal come to iudge the liuing and the dead Qu. 3 By what meanes can you then which are on the earth receiue him A. As I receiue with my hande and my mouth the Sacrament that is to saye that bread and that wine for the nourishment of this body euen so by the vertue and power of the holye ghoste I doe in wardly and in my soule receiue and imbrace thorowe fayth our Lord Iesus Christ very God and verye man that by him I may liue eternally Qu. 4 Doe they which haue no faith receiue Iesus Christ in the Supper A.
