And what thinkest thou of the geuing of the Sacrament?
Answer. Surely that the overpassing of the Sacrament it self doeth make, that that which was a Sacrament doeth cease too have the reason of a Sacrament, forasmuch as the Sacraments were instituted to be used: like as wax sealed with a common seal doeth differ very much from private Wax and not sealed: but unless it be applied unto an instrument it is accounted as private Wax.
