22 As the seed of the word preached, doth not always bring forth fruit at the same moment that it is sowed ⟨p. 166⟩in the hearts of the faithful: so the fruit of the receiving of the Sacraments doth not presently show it self, in such sort as the faithful have received the same: For that is only done at the time appointed by God.
