A visible signe ordained by God to be a seal for confirmation of the promises of the Gospel unto those who perform the conditions required in the same How is this done by a Sacrament A.

First the Commandements of the Law were more largely and the promises of Christ more sparingly and darkly propounded these la●ter being so much the more generally and obscurely delivered as the manifesting of them was further off Secondly these promises of things to come were shadowes with a similitude of Types and Figures which when the truth should be exhibited were to vanish away What were the chiefe States and Periods of this old Ministry Ans.
