indeed_o their_o opinion_n be_v one_o &_o the_o same_o every_o where_n most_o of_o they_o call_v sacrament_n simple_o by_o the_o name_n of_o sign_n figure_n token_n tip_n antytipe_n form_n seal_n

and_o to_o testament_n which_o be_v also_o the_o cause_n why_o augustine_n call_v the_o outward_a sign_n &_o the_o thing_n object_n to_o our_o sense_n visible_a word_n because_o indeed_o they_o be_v

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

all_o this_o be_v institute_v of_o god_n for_o our_o infirmity_n and_o ignorance_n and_o for_o the_o weakness_n of_o our_o faith_n that_o the_o same_o may_v be_v help_v not_o only_o by_o the_o word_n but_o also_o by_o the_o visible_a sign_n by_o which_o faith_n proper_o we_o take_v hold_v on_o jesus_n christ_n and_o grow_v together_o in_o he_o v._o where_o the_o word_n of_o the_o institution_n

28_o whereas_o christ_n say_v after_o his_o resurrection_n alpower_v be_v give_v unto_o i_o authority_n be_v one_o thing_n and_o power_n another_o neither_o say_v he_o it_o be_v give_v to_o my_o
