The second obiect••on.
S. Cyprian doth prooue this veritie, in most plaine and ma∣nifest tearmes. Thus doeth he write: Panis iste quem Domi∣nus discipulis porrigebat non effigie, sed natura mutatus, om∣nipotentia verbi factus est caro. The bread which our Lord did reach to his disciples, being chāged not in shape but in nature, became flesh by the omnipotencie of the word. Lo, bread was changed not in shape or figure, which our sense telleth vs to be so: but in nature or substance, as the catholike church teacheth vs. And how is it changed? euen into flesh; and yet wil not you haue Christ to be present, in flesh, bloud, and bone. But if it were otherwise, the omnipotent power of Gods word shoulde be needelesse: which yet Saint Cyprian saieth,* 1.1 is it that wor∣keth this mightie change. If yee yeeld not to this testimonie, ye shew your selfe to be obstinate.
