But is there not also some kind of form prescribed of the Sacramental benediction?
But is there not also some kynde of fourme prescribed of the Sacramentall benediction?
Answer. Yes certes, it is prescribed in plain words of the three Evangelists and of Paul.
Answeare. Yes certes, it is prescribed in playne wordes of the three Euangelists and of Paule.
Question. But why rather of this then of that?
Answer. Because it only belongeth unto Christ, to constitute and appoint Sacraments, by prescript words of him self, least whiles we vary from the words, we also stray from his will. Now it was not needful to prescribe certain set words which we should use in the expounding of his institution, in prayer & in giving of thanks. Therefore it ought to suffice us to have those things prescribed, according to the rule whereof, we ought to require those of ours.
