In like manner, when God would witness & stablish to Abraham & his seed after him, the promise of his mercy: he himself ordained a sacrament to confirm the same: This is my covenant which ye shall keep between me & you, & thy 1seed after thee. Let every manchild among you be circumcised. Thus God ordained yt sacrament of circumcision. This sacrament was a seal of Gods promise to Abraham, & a seal of Abraham's faith, & obedience towards God. By this sacrament man was bound to yt Lord: & by yt same sacrament God vouchsafed to bind himself to ⟨image 132⟩man. But how is the sacrament formed? of what parts is it made? August. saith, Accedat verbū 2ad elementū, & fit sacramentū. Join yt word of Christs institution with the sensible creature, & thereof is made a sacrament. Join the word to the creature of water, and thereof is made the sacrament of Baptism: take away the word, then what is the water other then water? The word of God & the creature make a sacrament.
