Usage examples of sacrament.

The witches were not only mocking the holy Christian sacraments but Satan was filling the afflicted with visions of glory.

What is common to all the sacraments is attributed antonomastically to this one on account of its excellence.

The Apostolical Succession, the two prominent sacraments, and the primitive Creeds, belonged, indeed, to the latter, but there had been and was far less strictness on matters of dogma and ritual in the Anglican system than in the Roman: in consequence, my main argument for the Anglican claims lay in the positive and special charges, which I could bring against Rome.

Therefore, the whole of this seems to belong to the form of this sacrament: and the same hold good of the works appertaining to the blood.

It is therefore manifest that the sacraments of the Old Law were not endowed with any power by which they conduced to the bestowal of justifying grace: and they merely signified faith by which men were justified.

Wherefore those sacraments by which a man is perfected in himself, are placed before the sacrament of order, in which a man is made a perfecter of others.

For it is manifest that the sacrament of order is ordained to the consecration of the Eucharist: and the sacrament of Baptism to the reception of the Eucharist: while a man is perfected by Confirmation, so as not to fear to abstain from this sacrament.

For the sacrament is not perfected by the righteousness of the minister or of the recipient of Baptism, but by the power of God.

Further, sacraments of the New Law, as having matter, are perfected by the use of the matter, as Baptism is by ablution, and Confirmation by signing with chrism.
