signify_v a_o sign_n be_v either_o of_o thing_n past_a and_o then_o it_o be_v call_v commemorative_n that_o be_v a_o sign_n wherein_o something_o past_a be_v remember_v or_o of_o thing_n present_a and_o then_o it_o be_v call_v demonstrative_a that_o be_v wherein_o something_o present_a be_v show_v forth_o or_o of_o thing_n to_o come_v and_o then_o it_o be_v call_v prenunciative_a that_o be_v

to_o be_v threefold_a 1._o they_o say_v and_o teach_v that_o the_o sacramental_a sign_n do_v confer_v grace_n now_o this_o by_o no_o mean_n be_v to_o be_v admit_v for_o the_o reason_n express_v afterward_o first_o they_o give_v to_o the_o sign_n that_o which_o be_v to_o be_v give_v to_o god_n alone_o and_o then_o the_o people_n understand_v not_o what_o god_n and_o what_o the_o sign_n do_v several_o perform_v second_o they_o give_v all_o unto_o man_n in_o the_o confer_v of_o grace_n and_o nothing_o to_o christ_n and_o from_o thence_o arise_v the_o priest_n forgiveness_n of_o sin_n the_o tyranny_n &_o lord_v it_o over_o man_n conscience_n and_o that_o desperate_a point_n of_o deny_v heaven_n to_o the_o infant_n that_o die_v without_o baptism_n a_o great_a deal_n of_o these_o dregs_o do_v yet_o rest_v and_o stay_v among_o our_o people_n that_o in_o the_o very_a sign_n there_o be_v some_o more_o than_o ordinary_a holiness_n 2._o they_o speak_v of_o the_o sign_n dispositive_o that_o be_v to_o say_v that_o sign_n be_v institute_v of_o god_n not_o only_o to_o signify_v grace_n but_o to_o dispose_v it_o and_o so_o they_o say_v that_o whosoever_o be_v baptize_v and_o do_v receive_v confirmation_n do_v bear_v the_o badge_n and_o character_n of_o a_o christian_n 3._o another_o opinion_n they_o have_v whereby_o all_o be_v take_v from_o the_o sign_n and_o they_o repute_v to_o be_v no_o more_o than_o other_o thing_n in_o a_o profane_a use_n for_o the_o right_a understanding_n therefore_o of_o the_o doctrine_n of_o these_o outward_a sign_n the_o truth_n be_v the_o sign_n do_v offer_v but_o in_o their_o own_o nature_n they_o do_v not_o confer_v grace_n they_o be_v not_o without_o grace_n for_o god_n have_v institute_v they_o but_o present_o and_o of_o themselves_o they_o do_v not_o indeed_o they_o can_v give_v it_o for_o conclusion_n then_o of_o this_o point_n observe_v these_o thing_n or_o consideration_n follow_v that_o be_v to_o say_v 1._o it_o be_v only_o of_o god_n to_o give_v that_o which_o these_o sign_n do_v represent_v and_o show_v forth_o so_o esa_n 43_o 25._o i_o be_o he_o which_o blot_v out_o thy_o iniquity_n and_o jer._n 31.34_o 2._o by_o a_o

the_o sacrament_n a._n here_o we_o shall_v see_v the_o difference_n now_o between_o a_o sacrament_n and_o a_o testament_n all_o the_o whole_a scripture_n be_v indeed_o god_n testament_n but_o the_o sacrament_n be_v the_o seal_n of_o the_o testament_n now_o in_o this_o testament_n of_o god_n there_o be_v two_o covenant_n unto_o which_o the_o lord_n do_v set_v the_o seal_n or_o the_o sacrament_n as_o be_v to_o see_v in_o holy_a scripture_n 1._o in_o the_o old_a testament_n there_o be_v a_o covenant_n of_o work_n which_o run_v thus_o with_o adam_n as_o long_o as_o thou_o continue_v holy_a in_o obey_v my_o word_n thou_o shall_v so_o long_o continue_v happy_a in_o enjoy_v my_o presence_n and_o to_o this_o testament_n or_o covenant_n there_o be_v two_o seal_n put_v the_o tree_n of_o life_n which_o be_v the_o sacrament_n of_o their_o immortality_n if_o they_o persist_v in_o their_o obedience_n to_o god_n and_o the_o tree_n of_o the_o knowledge_n of_o good_a and_o evil_a which_o be_v the_o sacrament_n of_o their_o obedience_n or_o of_o their_o trial_n rather_o whether_o they_o will_v abstain_v from_o eat_v of_o the_o forbid_a fruit_n 2._o in_o both_o old_a and_o new_a testament_n there_o be_v one_o covenant_n of_o grace_n which_o run_v thus_o what_o the_o law_n can_v not_o do_v in_o as_o much_o as_o it_o be_v weak_a through_o the_o flesh_n god_n do_v by_o send_v his_o own_o

and_o sacrament_n or_o covenant_n and_o the_o seal_n thereof_o let_v these_o thing_n follow_v be_v observe_v 1._o that_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n be_v only_o institute_v for_o the_o faithful_a for_o as_o it_o be_v say_v of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n that_o it_o profit_v not_o they_o of_o who_o the_o apostle_n speak_v because_o it_o be_v not_o mix_v with_o faith_n
