We are not washed from our sins by the water, we are not fed to eternal life by the bread and wine, but by the precious blood of our SAVIOUR CHRIST, that lieth hid in these sacraments.
Page 272 - GOD which worketh by them ; yet is it not the creature of bread or water, but the soul of man that receiveth the grace of GOD. These corruptible creatures need it not, we have need of GOD'S grace. But this is a phrase of speaking.
