Now first for the word Sacrament, I confess we have not that word in all the Scripture, as neither have we the word Trinity, and divers other words that Ministers make use of, to set forth the Mysteries of Religion by, but yet it is useful to consider the meaning why Ministers in the Church have given this name, unto those signs and seals that the Church receives; Sacrament, is to hallow a thing, or to dedicate, because in the Sacraments there are outward things, that are made holy, for holy and spiritual ends.
