23. Question.
Why dost thou add [by faith?
Why dost thou adde [by faith?
Answer. First that I may teach, that indeed the signs are set forth unto the outward senses, and are received of them: but the ⟨image 39⟩things themselves are offered too the mind, and yet notwithstanding are not received of every mind (albeit they be offered to the mind of all that come to the Sacraments) but only are received of that mind that is endued with faith: because faith is the only instrument of receiving Christ.
