Likewise Bonaventura saith, 1Nullo modo dicendum est, quòd Gratia continetur in ipsis Sacramentis essentialiter, tanquam Aqua in Vase, vel Medicina in Pyxide. Imò hoc intelligere est erroneum. Sed dicuntur continere Gratiam, quia eam signicant: We may not in any wise say, that the Grace of God is contained substantially, and verily in the Sacraments, as Water is contained in the Vessel, or a Medicine in the Box. For so to say, it were erroneous. But we say, the Sacraments contain the Grace of God:2 because they signify the Grace of God. Again he saith, Gratia est in anima, non in Signis visibilibus: The Grace of God is, not in the visible Signs, but in the Soul. And again he saithe, Ad illud, quod obijcitur, quòd remissio Peceatorum Latet in Baptismo, dicendum est, quòd hoc intelligiturede latentia Signati in Signo: quod quidem habet ulteriorem rationem, quàm rationem Significandi: non tamen essentialiter continendi in se: sed quia ipsum, quod Signat, continetur in anima: To the Objection, that is made, that the Remission of Sins is Hid in Baptism, we must answer thus, that it must be taken of the thing Signified hid in the Sign. Which thing nevertheless hath a farther meaning, then to Signify: yet not to contain (the Remission of Sins) verily, and Substantially in it self: but that the Grace, that is Signified thereby, is contained in the Soul.
Likewise Bonauentura saithe, 1Nullo modo dicendum est, quòd Gratia continetur in ipsis Sacramentis essentialiter, tanquam Aqua in Vase, vel Medicina in Pyxide. Imò hoc intelligere est erroneum. Sed dicuntur continere Gratiam, quia eam signicant: VVee maye not in any wise saié, that the Grace of God is conteined substantially, and verily in the Sacramentes, as VVater is conteined in the Vessel, or a Medicine in the Boxe. For so to saie, it were enoneous. But wee saie, the Sacramentes conteine the Grace of God:2 bicause thei signifie the Grace of God. Againe he saith, Gratia est in anima, non in Signis visibilibus: The Grace of God is, not in the visible Signes, but in the Soule. And againe he saithe, Ad illud, quod obijcitur, quòd remissio Peceatorum Latet in Baptismo, dicendum est, quòd hoc intelligiturede latentia Signati in Signo: quod quidem habet vlteriorem rationem, quàm rationem Significandi: non tamen essentialiter continendi in se: sed quia ipsum, quod Signat, continetur in anima: To the Obiection, that is made, that the Romission of Sinnes is Hidde in Baptisme, wee muste answeare thus, that it must be taken of the thinge Signified hidde in the Signe. VVhiche thinge neuerthelesse hath a farther meaninge, then to Signifie: yet not to conteine (the Remission of Sinnes) verily, and Substantially in it selfe: but that the Grace, that is Signified thereby, is conteined in the Soule.
