Calvin says that the sacrament “is an external sign … a testimony of the divine favor toward us, confirmed by an external sign, with a corresponding attestation of our faith towards Him. You may take your choice of these definitions, which in meaning differ not from that of Augustine, which defines a sacrament to be a visible sign of a sacred thing, or ‘a visible form of an invisible grace.’” John Calvin, Institutes of the Christian Religion (Philadelphia: Westminster Press, 1960), 4.14.1; http://www.ccel.org/ccel/calvin/institutes.vi.xv.html.
