The proof. That one definition serveth for the sacraments of both new and old testament, we have already proved before. That there is a difference in the number and form of rites, appeareth by an induction. For in the new testament it is plain there are but two; because no other ceremonies having a promise of grace annexed are commanded by Christ. That sacraments of the old testament show Christ to come, of the new already come, it is manifest by their interpretation delivered in scripture, whereof we spake in their definition. They differ in plainness, because in the new testament are fewer,1 and those signifying things already fulfilled, in the old there are more rites, and those shadowing future things, all whose circumstances were not yet known. Lastly, by induction it appeareth, that the old were commanded only to Abraham and his posterity, and their servants: the new to all even as many as will be members of the church: as Genesis the seventeenth. Every man child of eight days old amongest you shall be circumcised in your generations▪ as ⟨p. 283⟩well he that is borne in thine house, as he that is bought with money of any stranger which is not thy seed. Exod. 12. No stranger shall eat thereof. Math. 8. Teach all nations baptising them, &c.

Lastlie, by induction it appeareth, that the old were commaunded onelie to Abraham and his posteritie, and their servauntes: the new to all even as manie as will be members of the church: as Genesis the seventeenth. Everie man childe of eight daies olde amongest you shall bee circumcised in your generations as
