Notwithstanding we must consider, that the Learned, Fathers in their treaties of the Sacraments, sometime use the outward Sign in stead of the thing it self, that is signified: sometime they use the thing Signified, in stead ⟨p. 217⟩of the Sign. As for example,1 Sometimes they name Christs Blood in stead of the Water: Sometime they name the Water in stead of Christs Blood. This Figure is called Metonymia, that is to say, an exchange of names: and is much used amongst the Learned, specially speaking of the Sacraments.
