and_o do_v give_v they_o a_o right_a to_o certain_a special_a help_n of_o grace_n proper_a to_o each_o sacrament_n which_o sign_n represent_v in_o some_o sort_n the_o special_a effect_n of_o that_o

sacrament_n differ_v from_o sacramentall_n because_o they_o be_v the_o main_a instrument_n of_o grace_n and_o can_v be_v institute_v by_o any_o but_o by_o christ_n himself_o whereas_o sacramentall_n be_v institute_v by_o the_o church_n and_o be_v only_o make_v by_o certain_a blessing_n as_o holy_a water_n and_o the_o like_a which_o though_o they_o be_v bless_v yet_o they_o do_v not_o produce_v infallible_o the_o effect_n for_o which_o they_o be_v bless_v 4._o what_o be_v the_o difference_n betwixt_o the_o sacrament_n in_o the_o old_a law_n and_o the_o sacrament_n in_o the_o now_o law_n the_o council_n of_o florence_n teach_v we_o that_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o old_a law_n be_v only_a figure_n of_o grace_n to_o be_v give_v by_o christ_n passion_n but_o they_o do_v not_o cause_n grace_n whereas_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o new_a law_n according_a to_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o same_o council_n do_v both_o contain_v grace_n and_o also_o cause_v it_o in_o those_o who_o receive_v they_o worthy_o wherefore_o you_o be_v to_o understand_v that_o as_o god_n allmighty_n bring_v the_o jew_n to_o love_v he_o by_o temporal_a promise_n and_o reward_n that_o he_o may_v afterward_o give_v they_o celestial_a one_o so_o their_o sacrament_n make_v they_o capable_a only_o of_o temporal_a blessing_n as_o circumcision_n make_v the_o jew_n to_o be_v one_o who_o have_v part_n in_o the_o land_n of_o promise_n their_o purification_n make_v he_o to_o be_v one_o who_o may_v offer_v sacrifice_n and_o be_v hear_v for_o obtain_v of_o child_n peace_n long_a life_n etc._n etc._n and_o therefore_o they_o be_v say_v to_o cleanse_v the_o body_n not_o the_o soul_n to_o be_v empty_a and_o poor_a element_n whereas_o the_o new_a law_n do_v bring_v we_o to_o love_v and_o serve_v god_n by_o the_o immediate_a promise_n of_o supernatural_a reward_n and_o so_o the_o sacrament_n of_o christian_n if_o they_o be_v worthy_o receive_v do_v give_v the_o thing_n themselves_o which_o these_o corporal_a promise_n do_v signify_v that_o be_v celestial_a good_n as_o baptism_n make_v a_o man_n to_o be_v one_o who_o share_n be_v in_o heaven_n etc._n etc._n 5._o how_o many_o

sacrament_n and_o yet_o no_o man_n doubt_v of_o they_o wherefore_o as_o we_o gather_v out_o of_o scripture_n that_o these_o two_o be_v sacrament_n because_o they_o have_v all_o thing_n essential_a to_o a_o sacrament_n that_o be_v that_o they_o confer_v grace_n by_o a_o outward_a sensible_a sign_n so_o do_v we_o by_o the_o same_o rule_n sinde_v in_o scripture_n that_o there_o be_v seven_o

of_o the_o thing_n itself_o for_o the_o light_n of_o reason_n do_v teach_v we_o that_o we_o be_v bind_v both_o to_o satisfy_v god_n his_o justice_n and_o also_o to_o repair_v our_o own_o loss_n when_o

much_o more_o he_o ought_v to_o do_v for_o due_a satisfaction_n and_o therefore_o in_o the_o primitive_a church_n they_o use_v to_o impose_v austere_a pennance_n for_o every_o mortal_a sin_n which_o
