And what this word, Signum, meaneth, he declareth in his book De doctrina Christiana. Signum est res,1 praeter speciem, quam ingerit sensibus, aliud quiddam faciens in cogitationem venire. A Sign is a thing, that besides the sight, that it offereth unto the eyes, causeth an other thing to come into our mind. Again, unto Bonifacius, Onlesse Sacraments had some likeness of the things,2 whereof they be Sacraments, then were they no Sacraments at all. And again, Sacraments be Visible Signs of heavenly things: but the things them selves being invisible,3 are honoured in them: neither is that element being Consecrate by the blessing, so to be taken, at it is in other uses. This is the judgement of Berengarius, agreeing throughly with the words, and sense of the Holy Fathers: and confirmed, and avouched by the same.

A Signe is a thinge, that bisides the sight, that it offreth vnto the eies, causeth an other thinge to come into our minde. Againe, vnto Bonifacius, Onlesse Sacramentes had some likenes of the thinges,2 whereof they be Sacramētes, then were they no Sacramētes at al. And againe, Sacramentes be Visible Signes of heauenly thinges: but the thinges them selues beinge inuisible,3 are honoured in them: neither is that elemēt beinge Consecrate by the blissinge, so to be taken, at it is in other vses. This is the iudgement of Berengarius, agreeinge throughly with the woordes, and sense of the Holy Fathers: and confirmed, and auouched by the same.
