St. Augustin also in the 23 Epist. ad Bonifacium, teacheth, how Sacraments bear the name of Things whereof they be Sacraments, both in Baptism and in ⟨p. 37⟩the Lords Table; even as we call every Good-Friday, the Day of Christs Passion; every Easter-Day, the Day of Christs Resurrection; where in very deed there was but one day wherein he suffered, and one day wherein he rose: And why do we then call them so which are not so indeed, but because they are in like time and course of the year as those days were wherein those things were done.
Was Christ, saith St. Augustin, offered any more but once; and he offered himself, and yet in a Sacrament or Representation, not only every solemn Feast of Easter, but also every day, to the People, he is offered, so that he doth not lie that saith,—He is every day offered. For if Sacraments had no similitudes or likeness of those Things whereof they be Sacraments, they could in no wise be Sacraments; and for their similitude and likeness, commonly they have the names of the Things whereof they be Sacraments: Wherefore, as after a certain manner of speech, the Sacrament of Christs Body, is Christs Body; the Sacrament of Christs Flood is Christs Blood; so likewise the Sacrament of Faith is Faith, &c.
