Yet are they in a lesse errour, who will haue them to be signes onelie of our outward profession.
19 Now, inasmuch as the Sacraments are supplies joined unto the word, it cometh to pass, that in some things they agree together, and differ in some other. For both are instruments which the holy Ghost useth to make us partakers of Christ and his benefits: yet so, as he may work without them both in the harts of the godly, when, and as often as he will: and that he doth not any wise give unto the signs, his own force and efficacy, by virtue whereof the things signified are received.
