P. There are chiefely two reasons not only for that he vsed it, but also why that maner of speache is more proper and more plaine in that matter than any other.
M. Which is the first of these reasons?
P. It is that when the holy scripture speaketh of Sacraments, it doth willingly name the signs with the names of the things which are signified by them. And therefore Jesus Christ would accommodate himself to that speech which the holy Ghost hath alway accustomed to use in the Church, because that it is familiar and easy to understand to God his people with whom he hath to do, and unto whom he doth address his doctrine.
