13. Question.
Let us therefore once again use the exposition of that doubtful word.
Let vs therfore once againe vse the exposition of that doubtfull word.
Answer. I see that a Sacrament in this matter is sometime called the signs only, & sometime the things themselves sacramentally signified, as we have said in the first signification: therefore thus I ⟨image 35⟩define it. A sacrament is a visible sign, ordained of God for the church, by the use whereof Christ with his benefits, with respect eternal life, is so by a certain fit proportion signified, that also truly and in very deed he is sealed in the hearts of the believers.
