¶ Of the sacraments.
¶ Of the sacramentes.
Forasmuch as we be come to signs, we will speak a word or two of the signs which God hath ordained, that is to say, of the sacraments which Christ left amongest us for our comfort, that we may walk in light and in truth, & in feeling of the power of God. For he that walketh in y• day, stumbleth not, when contrariwise he that walketh in the night stumbleth. Joh. xi. And they that walk in darkness wot not whether they go. Joh. xij.
FOrasmuch as we be come to signes, we wil speake a word or two of the signes which God hath ordeined, that is to say, of the sacramentes which Christ left amongest vs for our comfort, that we may walke in light and in truth, & in feling of the power of God. For he that walketh in y• day, stumbleth not, when contrariwise he that walketh in the night stumbleth. Ioh. xi. And they that walke in darknes wote not whether they goe. Ioh. xij.
This word sacrament is as much to say as an holy sign, and representeth alway some promise of God. As 1in the old Testament God ordained that the rainbow should represent and signify unto all men an oath that God sware to Noah, & to all men after him, that he would no more drown the world thorough water.
