A. Of Sacraments there are two sorts, some extraordinary and transient, as the Fiery Pillar, Manna, and Water out of the Rock, 1 Cor. 10.1, 2, 3, 4. Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea: and were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud, and in the sea: And did all eat the same spiritual meat: And did all drink the same spiritual drink (for they drank of that spiritual rock that followed them; and that rock was Christ). And some ordinary and standing, as Circumcision and the Passover, before Christ; and Baptism and the Lords Supper since Christs death.
Q. 2. How many things are to be considered in every Sacrament?
A. In every Sacrament five things must be considered, (1.) The Author, (2.) The Parts, (•.) The Union of those parts, (4.) The Subjects, (5) The ends and uses of it.
