Sacraments ordained by Christ are not only badges or tokens of Christian men’s profession, but rather they be certain sure witnesses and effectual signs of grace and God’s good will towards us, by the which he does work invisibly in us, and does not only quicken, but also strengthen and confirm, our faith in him. There are two Sacraments ordained by Christ our Lord in the Gospel, that is to say, baptism and the Supper of the Lord. Those five commonly called Sacraments, that is to say, confirmation, penance, orders, matrimony, and extreme unction, are not to be counted for Sacraments of the gospel, being such as have grown partly of the corrupt following of the Apostles, partly are states of life allowed in the Scriptures; but yet have not the like nature of Sacraments with Baptism and the Lord’s Supper, because they have not any visible sign or ceremony ordained of God. The Sacraments were not ordained of Christ to be gazed upon or to be carried about, but that we should use them properly. And only in those who worthily receive the same, have they a wholesome effect or operation: But those who receive them unworthily purchase to themselves damnation, as St. Paul says.
