And the joining together of either party, is made after they be affianced, with certain ceremonies: to wit by taking each other by the hands, and certain words spoken, there is given a token or a ring, &c. But immediately after the beginning, was a league or bond made betwixt God and men, which is oft times red of, not without ceremonies, certain words and sacrifices repaired, as by Abraham, Moses and others. God bindeth himself to men, and men to him, and that not without Sacraments. Hereunto belong all those things, that God would be in league with man, and have men bounden to him, and all his things communicated to us. And this marriage, of all others is most straightly joined and made, whilst the son of God hath united our flesh into one and the same person with him, and hath commanded the Apostles to preach unto all, that he will have a communion with the faithful. Of the which communion are red many things every where in the scriptures. And he hath given a pledge of faith and perpetual amity,1 not a ring of gold, but rather the sacraments: yea even the holy ghost, as S. Paul sayeth in the .2. to the Cor. 1. and to the Ephesi. the first.
