And if I would grant for your pleasure, that in their sacraments Christ was promised, and that in ours, he is really given, doth it not then follow ⟨p. 77⟩§5aswell that Christ is given in the sacrament of Baptism, as that he is given in the Sacrament of his flesh and blood? And S. Augustin contra Faustum, 1esteemeth them mad, that think diversity between the things signified in the old and new testament, because the signs be divers.
