Wood. A mystery is (I take it) unseen: for he saith, he speaketh betwixt Christ & the congregation. So the great mystery that he speaketh of, I take to be the faith of them that be married, which is hid in christ, the which we see not, but Christ. But the deed which is in the congregation, which is the outward marriage we see, but the inward marriage of the hart we see not. Wherefore Paul calleth it a mystery. And therefore, if it be a sacrament, it is invisible to us: It is not seen, as other sacraments be.
Wood. A mystery is (I take it) vnseene: for he sayth, he speaketh betwixt Christ & the congregation. So the great mystery that he speaketh of, I take to be the fayth of them that be maried, which is hid in christ, the which we see not, but Christe. But the deede which is in the congregation, which is the outward mariage we see, but the inward mariage of ye hart we see not. Wherefore Paul calleth it a mystery. And therfore, if it be a sacramēt, it is inuisible to vs: It is not seene, as other sacraments be.
Chichest. Nay, I tell you it is a visible Sacrament, seen as the other be: for is not the marriage seen? is not the man and woman seen?
Chichest. Nay, I tell you it is a visible Sacrament, seene as the other be: for is not the mariage seen? is not the man and woman seene?
Wood. My Lord▪ I pray you what is a sacrament?
