But the difference between the Sacraments of the Old Testament, and of the New standeth not in containing, or covering, as it is here surmised, but in the Order, and Manner, and Evidence of Showing. Which difference S. Augustine 1openeth in this sort: Sacramenta Legis fuerunt promissiones rerum complendarum: nostra sunt indicia rerum completarum: The Sacraments of the Old Law were promises of things to be performed: Our Sacraments are Tokens of things, that already be performed. 2Again, Lex, & Prophetae Sacramenta habebant praenuntiantia rem futurā: Sacramenta nostri temporis venisse testantur, quod illa venturum praedicabant: The Law, and the Prophets had Sacraments showing before a thing, that was to come: But the Sacraments of our time do witness, that the thing is already come, that by those Sacraments was signified. 3And again, Sacramenta Judaeorum in Signis diversa fuerunt à nostris: in rebus autem Significatis paria: The Sacraments of the Jews, in outward tokens were divers from ours: but in the things Signified they were equal, and one with ours. Likewise again he saith, 4In illis Carnalibus victimis Figuratio fuit Carnis Christi, quam pro nostris peccatis fuerat oblaturus: in isto autem Sacrificio est Gratiarum actio, & Commemoratio Carnis Christi, quam pro nobis obtulit: In those fleshly Sacrifices there was a Signification of the Flesh of Christ, which he had to offer for our sins: But in this Sacrifice there is a Thanksgiving, and a Remembrance of the Flesh of Christ, which he hath already offered for us.
