Furthermore S. Austen sayeth. Sepe ita loquimur ut pascha appropinquā te crastinā uel perendi nā Dn̄i passionem dicamus: cū ille ante tam multo• annos passus sit, nec omnino nisi semel illa passio facta sit. Nempe ipso die dn̄ico dicimus hodie Dominus resurrexit, cū ex quo surrexit totanni transierunt Quare nemo tam ineptus est, ut nos ita loquentes arguat esse mentitos, quia istos dies secundum illorū quibus haec gesta sunt similitudinē nuncupamus: ut dicatur ipse dies qui nō sit ipse, sed revolutione temporum similes eius: & dicatur illo die fieri propter sacramenti celebrationē, quod non illo die, sediam olim sactū est. Nonne semel immolatus est christus in seipso? & tamē in sacramento non solum per annuas paschae solennitates, sed omnidie pro populis immolatur: nec utique mentitur qui interrogatus, responderit eū immolari. Si enim sacramenta quā dam similitudinē earum rerū quarū sunt sacramenta nō haberent, omnino sacramenta non essent Ex hac autē similitudine plerumque etiā ipsarū rerun nomina accipiunt. Sicut ergo se•undū quendā modum sacramentum corporis CHRISTI corpus CHRISTI est, & sacramentū sanguinis CHRISTI sanguis CHRISTI est. Ita sacramenta fidei fides est, Nihil est autē aliud credere, q fidem habere, ac per hoc respondetur fidē habere propter fidei sacramenta. Et conuertere se ad Deū propter conuersionis sacramentū. Quia & ipsa responsio per•inet ad celebrationem sacramenti. Sicut de ipso baptismo apostolus dicit. ⟨image 30⟩consepulti (inquit) sumus Christo per baptismum in mortem, Non ait sepulturā significavimus, sed prorsus ait, consepulti sumus. Sacramentū ergo tantae rei non nisi eiusdem rei uocabulo nuncupavit. That is sa•e: We often use to say / when ester draweth neigh / that to morrow or the next day is the Lords passion / and yet it is many years sith he suffered / and that passion was never done but once. And upon that sunday we say / th•s day the lord did rise again / and yet it is many years since he rose / Now is there no man so foolish to reprove us as liars for saying / be cause we name thes days after the similitude of those in which thes things were done so that it is called the same day / which is not the very same / but by the revolution of time / like it.
