The next thing we have to notice is that when he came to establish the two symbols or sacraments of his kingdom, as he took one of them from the S6 NATURE, THE MIRROR OF GRACE purifications of the Old Testament, so he took the other from its feasts. In each case, he takes an immemorial and almost universal usage, in which are employed the simplest elements of our human life, and sets them in such new associations, and surrounds them with such new sanctities, that they become new things to us.
