2. But it is not enough to have a writing signed, doth the law require sealing? These promises are sealed to us: there are two broad Seals, the two Sacraments. Baptism, whosoever believeth and is baptised, shall be saved: there is one broad-seal. The Lords supper; whosoever eateth the flesh of Christ, and drinketh his blood, shall not perish; there is another broad-seal. For the Sacraments are not only Signa, sed Signacula; not bare signs, but Seals, so Paul called Circumcision^o a seal of the righteousness of faith. There is also a privy seal, Miracles; wrought in the ⟨p. 68⟩first rising of the Sun, but now in the glorious day of grace and knowledge, ceasing. Now we ask not for the privy seal of miracles; but the broad-seals of the Sacraments: herewith we are content, for by these instruments we receive Christ. Verbum audimus, motum sentimus, modum nescimus, praesentiam credimus, Durand. We hear the word, we feel the virtue, we know not the manner, but we believe the presence of JESUS CHRIST. The Romists abuse both these Seals: Gods broad-seal in corrupting the Sacraments, Gods privy seal in their false and lying miracles.

2. But it is not enough to have a writing signed, doth the law require sealing? These promises are sealed to us: there are two broad Seales, the two Sacraments. Baptisme, whosoever beleeveth and is baptised, shall bee saved: there is one broad-seale. The Lords supper; whosoever eateth the flesh of Christ, and drinketh his bloud, shall not perish; there is another broad-seale. For the Sacraments are not only Signa, sed Signacula; not bare signes, but Seales, so Paul called Circumcision^o a seale of the righteousnesse of faith. There is also a privy seale, Miracles; wrought in the ⟨p. 68⟩first rising of the Sunne, but now in the glorious day of grace and knowledge, ceasing. Now we aske not for the privy seale of miracles; but the broad-seales of the Sacraments: herewith we are content, for by these instruments we receive Christ. Verbum audimus, motum sentimus, modum nescimus, praesentiam credimus, Durand. We heare the word, we feele the vertue, we know not the manner, but we beleeve the presence of IESUS CHRIST. The Romists abuse both these Seales: Gods broad-seale in corrupting the Sacraments, Gods privy seale in their false and lying miracles.
