                           To Article XIII. 



     The thirteenth article gives no offence, but is accepted,
     while they say that the sacraments were instituted not only
     to be marks of profession among men, but rather to be signs
     and testimonies of God's will toward us; nevertheless, we
     must request them that what they here ascribe to the
     sacraments in general they confess also specifically
     concerning the seven sacraments of the Church and take
     measures for the observance of them by their subjects.
