say_v that_o a_o sacrament_n be_v the_o ordinance_n not_o of_o man_n but_o of_o god_n in_o which_o by_o certain_a visible_a sign_n and_o external_a rite_n christ_n &_o his_o benefit_n be_v show_v to_o every_o christian_a for_o look_v as_o god_n word_n be_v his_o own_o ordinance_n to_o beget_v faith_n in_o our_o heart_n whereby_o christ_n and_o all_o his_o benefit_n as_o by_o a_o hand_n may_v be_v apprehend_v and_o convey_v unto_o we_o even_o so_o sacrament_n be_v special_a ordinance_n of_o god_n whereby_o our_o faith_n be_v engender_v and_o beget_v by_o the_o operation_n of_o god_n spirit_n and_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o word_n may_v be_v further_o increase_v confirm_v and_o strengthen_v to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v be_v make_v more_o full_o partaker_n of_o christ_n and_o all_o his_o benefit_n to_o our_o salvation_n for_o christ_n and_o his_o benefit_n be_v offer_v to_o we_o in_o both_o the_o difference_n only_o stand_v in_o this_o the_o word_n offer_v christ_n to_o our_o ear_n that_o we_o may_v hear_v of_o he_o and_o his_o redeem_n of_o mankind_n but_o the_o sacrament_n offer_v christ_n to_o our_o sense_n see_v feel_v taste_v as_o by_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o word_n we_o hear_v of_o christ_n with_o our_o ear_n so_o by_o the_o sacrament_n we_o may_v as_o it_o be_v see_v christ_n with_o our_o eye_n feel_v christ_n with_o our_o hand_n and_o taste_v of_o christ_n with_o our_o mouth_n again_o i_o add_v in_o the_o last_o place_n that_o as_o christ_n and_o his_o benefit_n be_v represent_v to_o our_o sense_n so_o he_o be_v also_o seal_v and_o most_o certain_o convey_v to_o every_o true_a believer_n here_o we_o may_v see_v three_o most_o notable_a end_n of_o a_o sacrament_n 1_o that_o it_o be_v a_o outward_a sign_n to_o represent_v and_o set_v before_o our_o eye_n christ_n and_o his_o merit_n as_o circumcision_n to_o the_o jew_n be_v a_o sign_n of_o that_o covenant_n god_n make_v with_o they_o in_o his_o son_n christ_n namely_o that_o he_o will_v be_v their_o god_n and_o they_o shall_v be_v his_o people_n etc._n etc._n so_o baptism_n and_o the_o lord_n supper_n be_v much_o more_o evident_a sign_n to_o we_o that_o be_v dull_a of_o conceit_n not_o only_o of_o the_o covenant_n but_o also_o of_o the_o mediator_n of_o the_o covenant_n christ_n jesus_n himself_o 2_o the_o sacrament_n serve_v to_o be_v a_o seal_n to_o confirm_v our_o faith_n and_o to_o take_v away_o all_o doubt_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v call_v the_o seal_n of_o the_o righteousness_n of_o faith_n 4.11_o rom._n 4.11_o because_o it_o certify_v a_o man_n thereof_o and_o put_v he_o out_o of_o all_o doubt_n as_o when_o his_o majesty_n highness_n send_v forth_o his_o letter_n patent_n if_o we_o hear_v they_o read_v yet_o see_v not_o the_o broad_a seal_n we_o be_v in_o some_o doubt_n but_o if_o we_o ask_v for_o the_o seal_n and_o see_v it_o than_o we_o be_v confirm_v even_o so_o our_o high_a prince_n have_v send_v we_o his_o letter_n patent_n from_o heaven_n notwithstanding_o oftentimes_o we_o have_v refuse_v they_o and_o call_v they_o in_o question_n but_o now_o in_o that_o he_o have_v together_o with_o they_o send_v we_o his_o broad_a seal_n yea_o his_o great_a seal_n the_o sacrament_n we_o may_v then_o very_o well_o rest_v ourselves_o and_o be_v confirm_v 3_o the_o sacrament_n be_v also_o a_o instrument_n to_o convey_v christ_n &_o his_o benefit_n to_o we_o for_o we_o like_a thomas_n that_o will_v not_o believe_v be_v not_o content_v till_o we_o see_v and_o feel_v christ_n and_o therefore_o the_o sacrament_n be_v a_o mean_n to_o bring_v he_o to_o we_o if_o we_o have_v the_o hand_n of_o faith_n to_o receive_v he_o here_o we_o be_v teach_v in_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n use_v use_v not_o only_o to_o esteem_v high_o the_o sacrament_n but_o to_o labour_v for_o a_o true_a use_n of_o they_o that_o by_o the_o mean_n hereof_o we_o may_v full_o and_o assure_o be_v make_v partaker_n of_o christ_n see_v the_o unspeakable_a goodness_n of_o god_n towards_o we_o how_o desirous_a he_o be_v if_o we_o have_v grace_n and_o heart_n to_o consider_v it_o that_o we_o shall_v not_o perish_v but_o believe_v and_o so_o come_v to_o be_v save_v have_v god_n content_v himself_o only_o with_o speak_v or_o send_v we_o his_o word_n from_o heaven_n that_o he_o will_v be_v reconcile_v to_o we_o if_o we_o believe_v and_o repent_v though_o this_o have_v be_v sufficient_a he_o be_v our_o king_n and_o prince_n and_o therefore_o ought_v not_o once_o to_o call_v his_o word_n in_o question_n no_o very_o but_o to_o show_v his_o desire_n of_o our_o good_a and_o to_o take_v away_o all_o excuse_n from_o we_o if_o we_o do_v not_o embrace_v his_o mercy_n he_o have_v cause_v this_o word_n to_o be_v write_v in_o a_o book_n for_o our_o learning_n preserve_v it_o in_o his_o church_n and_o convey_v it_o from_o hand_n to_o hand_n from_o one_o generation_n to_o another_o and_o now_o at_o last_o it_o be_v come_v to_o we_o so_o as_o daily_o we_o may_v read_v and_o hear_v of_o christ_n and_o to_o take_v away_o all_o doubt_n touch_v the_o truth_n of_o this_o word_n he_o have_v put_v to_o it_o his_o broad_a seal_n with_o the_o inscription_n and_o image_n of_o christ_n that_o every_o way_n we_o may_v be_v make_v partaker_n of_o christ_n by_o hear_v see_v taste_v feel_a and_o smell_v in_o so_o much_o that_o if_o we_o do_v not_o repent_v and_o believe_v god_n
