a_o sacrament_n luther_n indeed_o do_v thus_o define_v it_o a_o sacrament_n be_v a_o promise_n annex_v to_o a_o external_a sign_n melancthon_n thus_o a_o sacrament_n be_v a_o rite_n which_o have_v

scripture_n do_v promise_v we_o remission_n of_o our_o sin_n if_o we_o receive_v this_o sacrament_n they_o can_v never_o prove_v it_o for_o this_o sacrament_n be_v not_o ordain_v of_o god_n to_o remit_v a_o man_n his_o sin_n or_o to_o make_v of_o a_o wicked_a man_n or_o a_o sinner_n a_o just_a &_o holy_a man_n but_o rather_o it_o be_v institute_v to_o the_o end_n that_o it_o may_v nourish_v

they_o yet_o neither_o of_o they_o both_o can_v confirm_v their_o opinion_n out_o scripture_n not_o the_o lutheran_n because_o the_o scripture_n in_o no_o place_n make_v mention_v that_o such_o

of_o the_o which_o there_o be_v express_a command_n in_o the_o scripture_n but_o there_o be_v no_o command_n of_o the_o ceremony_n which_o the_o catholic_n use_v in_o baptism_n therefore_o such_o
