In like manner the Lord hath committed unto them the administration of the Sacraments, which are the seals of his 1covenant; whereby all his gracious promises, are ratified & confirmed unto us; so that as in respect of the rich treasure of Gods word, committed to their disposing, they are the Lords treasurers; so in respect of the Sacraments, they are the keepers of his great seals. Now if these offices be great under mortal Princes, in corruptible things: how are these officers advanced who are under in these places the King of ⟨p. 172⟩Kings? who dispense not transitory trifles, but heavenly treasures; nor seal assurances of earthly patrimonies, but of an eternal inheritance and a most glorious kingdom.
