Excerpt from Peter Lombard and the Sacramental System It has seemed well worth while to single out from the writ ings which are so multi form, and so rich, the passages which relate to the sacraments, and to set them down, closely following a chronological order. It will be observed that the passages quoted are much longer in the earlier than in the later writers. The rea son is that the earlier Christians give only hints, suggestions, allu sions to the sacraments, and to make these clear we must have before us the whole of the context. Later, as the minds of men were more clearly focussed upon the sacraments, and definitions of them had become matter of controversy the citations are brief, specific and on that account at times arid.
