What therefore is the Sacramental conjunction of the sign, & of Christ himself?
What therefore is the Sacramētall coniunction of the signe, & of Christ himselfe?
Answer. That which agreeth to the nature of the Sacraments, and too their end. Now we have declared the nature of the Sacraments to be such, that by the signs offering themselves too our outward senses, our minds in a certain proportion might be carried first indeed to behold the things signified, and afterwards unto those things which are therefore set before us to be looked upon, that they may be apprehended and through faith by the power of the holy Ghost, be more and more applied unto our minds.
