Expos. 10. In the old Testament the Jews had many Sacraments, some ordinary, Gen. 17. 9. 11. 12. &c. Exod. 12. 1. 2. 3. &c. some extraordinary, 1. Cor. 10. 1. 2. 3. 4. but the New Testament hath only two. For there be no moe Sacraments of the new Testament then Christ did institute, and receive before his death, because it was necessary that he should receive both, to sanctify them in his own person, and to seal that communion which is between him and us. The nature of a Sacrament agreeth not to the five forged Sacraments of the Papists; either they are not proper to Church, or are not instituted of God,
