But fie on that his blasphemy, where he saith, that if sacraments be ministered unto reprobate hypocrites yet unrevealed, then God must lie by the mouth of the minister. Did God (thinkest thou) lie by Peters mouth when he baptised Simon Magus? He seriously and sincerely by his word & sacrament offereth adoption and grace unto all, purposing also to bestow it, but conditionally, if they believe: & commandeth ⟨p. 29⟩them to believe, and receive by faith the grace offered. But to infidels and hypocrites he is so far from promising or sealing any grace of adoption and election when they force themselves unto the sacrament, that he threateneth them with a terrible and fearful judgement. He therefore is true in offering, howsoever the grace offered to the unbelievers be of none effect.
