2. But (saith the Rejoinder) if in stead of lib. 3. c. 35. be put in lib. 2. cap. 1. as the Repl. would have it, yet nothing is found to the purpose. Now (though it skilleth not much: because this place was but conjecturally pointed at, in stead of another miscited yet) in that place, this is to be found, so much to the purpose, that I know not how the Rej. will avoid the weight of it: that S. Aug. distinguishing betwixt natural, and instituted signs, saith presently after, that there is no use or cause of instituted signes, nisi ad expromendum, & trajiciendum in alierius animum, id quod in animo gerit is qui dat, i.e. but to declare and make intelligible, what the institutor meaneth. From whence, we gather, that our Prelates instituting significant Ceremonies, can signify no more then what they would have, and not what God would have.

3. Another place of Augustine was alleged. out of Ep. 5. Signs when they belong to divine things are called Sacraments. 1Of these words. the Rej. (differing from the Def. saith) that his meaning was to show, that the name of Sacraments belong properly to divine things, and not to all signs of holy things.
