Petrus Lumbardus thus defineth a Sacrament,1 Sacramentum est Signum rei Sacrae. A Sacrament is the Sign of a holy thing. And as it is thought, the very substance and nature of a thing cannot be better known,2 th•n by the Definition. S. Augustine saith, Signa cùm ad res divinas adhibentur, sacramenta vocantur. Signs, when they be applied to godly things, be called Sacraments. And again, writing of the difference that is between the Sacraments of the Old Law,3 and of the New, he saith thus, In Signis diversis, eadem fides. The Signes being diverse, the faith is one. And writing against one Adimantus (he saithe) Non dubitavit Dominus dicere, 4Hoc est corpus meum, cùm daret Signum Corporis sui, The Lord doubted not to say this is my Body, when he gave the Sign of his Body. Likewise saith Chrysostom, Si mortuus Jesus non est, cuius symbolum, 5ac Signum hoc Sacrificium est? If Jesus died not, whose token, and whose Sign is this Sacrifice? And lest any man should be deceived in the meaning of this word Sign, 6S. Augustine him self hath expounded it thus: Signum est res praeter speciem, quam ingerit sensibus, aliud quiddam faciens ex se in cognitionem venire. A Sign is a thing, that besides the sight it self, which it offereth unto the senses, 7causeth of it self some other certain thing to come into knowledge.
