Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Works of John Jewel, D. D, Vol. 8 of 8: Bishop of Salisbury In the word we have his promises; in the sacraments we see them. It would require a long time, if I should utter that might be said in this matter: especially in laying open such errors and abuses, as have crept into the church. But I will have regard to this place, and so frame my speech, that the meanest and simplest may reap profit thereby. That you may the better remember it, I will keep this order. I will shew you, what a sacrament is: secondly, who hath ordained them: thirdly, wherefore they were ordained, and what they work in us: fourthly, how many there are: and then I will briefly speak of every of them. A sacrament is an outward and visible sign, whereby God sealeth up his grace in our hearts, to the confirmation of our faith. Saint Augustine saith: Sacramentum est invisibilis gratioe visible signum: "A sacrament is a visible sign of grace invisible." And that we may the better understand him, he telleth us what thing we should call a sign: "A sign is a thing that besides the sight itself, which it offereth to the senses, causeth of itself some other certain thing to come to knowledge." In baptism, the water is the sign; and the thing signified, is the grace of God. We see the water, but the grace of God is invisible: we cannot see it. Moreover he saith: Signa, cum ad res divinas adhibentur, sacramenta vocantur: "Signs, when they be applied to godly things, be called sacraments." The signification and the substance of the sacrament, is to shew us, how we are washed with the passion of Christ, and how we are fed with the body of Christ. And again: "If sacraments had not a certain likeness and representation of the things whereof they be sacraments, then indeed they were no sacraments." And because of this likeness which they have with the things they represent, they be oftentimes termed by the names of the things themselves. Therefore after a certain manner of speech (and not otherwise) the sacrament of the body of Christ, is the body of Christ, and the sacrament of the blood of Christ, is the blood of Christ: so the sacrament of faith, is faith. Who hath ordained the sacraments? Not any prelate, not any prince, not any angel, or archangel, but only God himself.
