Many persons take the same Physick; the operation is not the same, the Physick is the same. And if we might call the Tree of Life a Seal, it retains the nature of a sign, though Adam never tasted of it. The Rain-bow is a Covenant, though there be thousands in the world that never knew it was a Covenant. And it is the use and proper work of our Sacraments to commemorate and seal. 2. Sacraments are visible Doctrines, Ier. 2. 31. O Generation, see ye the word of the Lord. In the Sacraments are written in small Characters, what at large are found in the works of God. And Faith acts upon these Symbols upon a doctrinal notion, as they are teaching Ordinances. They testifie, as a sign Christs Love, as a Seal Gods faithfulness. The Word of God is given us that we may believe, and that we may be strong in Faith: So likewise the Sacraments are given us not only to believe, but for our increase in Faith. And as the word Jesus Christ is evidently set forth crucified before our eyes, so do the Sacraments as the Oracles of God teach us plainly the mysterie of Faith, and the way of Salvation. 3. The Sacraments are not only signs and Seals, but Sanctions, and such Laws as we are charged to observe upon pain of Gods wrathful displeasure.","proofs":["Matthew 3:7"]}]},{"document":"henry1703","id":"19","url":"/api/v1/documents/henry1703/entries/19","segments":[{"text":"Yes.
