But Augustine noteth in them certain other differences,1 which here to rehearse shall not be unprofitable. First they had many sacraments, and we but few: the Symbols of our sacraments are water, bread, and wine: they had oxen calves, sheep, goats, doves, turtle doves, bread, wine, oil & such other like. Farther, the condition of our sacraments is diverse from the equality of theirs: for theirs were more grievous, but ours are by Christ made both easier and also lighter. Moreover those symbols that were given unto them, were contained in one country only, but ours are common to the whole world. Farther in them Christ was set forth, as he which should come: but to us, as he which is now already come. But as touching salvation there is no difference. For the same salvation and the same Christ was offered unto them, which is set forth unto us. ⟨image 279⟩This is also to be added, that our Sacraments are more manifest and excellent, forasmuch as they have more manifest words of Christ and his redemption, which make faith more full. And therefore the sprite is now had more abundantly, then it was in that time, if we speak of the common state of men. For I speak not of persons singularly, neither do I think that Abraham had less faith and sprite then christian men now have. But now let us return unto the history.
But Augustine noteth in thē certaine other differences,1 which here to rehearse shal not be vnprofitable. Firste they hadde manye sacramentes, and wee but few: the Simboles of our sacraments are water, bread, and wine: they had oxen calues, shepe, gotes, doues, turtle doues, bread, wine, oyle & such other like. Farther, the condicion of our sacramentes is diuerse from the equality of theirs: for theyrs were more greuous, but oures are by Christe made both easier and also lighter. Moreouer those simboles that were geuen vnto them, were conteined in one country onely, but ours ar common to the whole world. Farther in them Christ was setforth, as he which should come: but to vs, as he which is now alredye come. But as touchinge saluation there is no difference. For the same saluation and the same Christ was offred vnto them, which is settefoorth vnto vs. ⟨image 279⟩
