Think of the use of the cross in Pilgrim's Progress. It's merely symbolic, not a real image -- perhaps best described as a verbal image. So the sacrament is described by Robert Bruce as "a visible word."

But this is not how Pemble, Perkins and sibbes and others thought matthew...Visualization to them was visualizing the crucified Lord. Hence the problems
