Secondly, §2we are here taught, that all services which men have forged after their own mind, and without the commandment of God are false and corrupt. For seeing God commands that all things should be framed according to the rule and pattern: it is not lawful to make any thing else, or contrary unto it. For these two manners of speech (See that thou make all things according to the pattern: and, Take heed thou make nothing more than the pattern) are in weight one, 1as much as the other. Wherefore, in requiring strictly that we keep the rule which he hath given us, he therewithal forbids us to turn aside an hairs breadth from it. By this means all services devised by men fall flat to the ground, and those which some call Sacraments, which notwithstanding were never ordained of God.

By this meanes all seruices deuised by men fall flat to the ground, and those which some call Sacraments, which notwithstanding were neuer ordained of God.
