of Bread in the verie same place therewith. This manner of [ A] presence is cleerely consequent vpon the precedent, and that granted, this cannot be denyed. For the reason for which Christians hold the bodie of Christ to be really & truly pre∣sent in the Sacrament, is, because they cannot otherwise in proper and plaine sence verifie the word of Christ, to say of Bread, this is my bodie. Wherefore we must either put no real presence at all, or els put such a real presence as is able to ve∣rifie the foresaid speech, in proper and rigorous sence. But if [ B] the bodie of Christ be not in the same place with the conse∣crated Bread contained vnder the formes thereof, it cannot be said to be verily and really the body of Christ. For though we should suppose the Body of Christ to leaue heauen, and be substantially present in the Church where the Sacrament is giuen, yet this supposed presence would no waies fur∣ther the verifying of the words of Christ, This is my Bo∣die, except his bodie be vailed and couered with the sen∣sible [ C] accidents of Bread, so that it be demonstrated by them; and pointing vnto them, one may truely say, This is the Body of Christ. For why should consecrated Bread be tearmed truely and substantially the Bodie of Christ, if his body be not so much as in the same place with it? Wherefore the Fathers affirme, that Christ is so in this Sacrament, as he is vailed with the semblances of Bread, as S. Cyrill of Hierusalem in his Booke (highly commended by Dr. Whita∣ker, saith.) Let vs therefore with all certitude receiue the [ D] Bodie and Bloud of Christ: For vnder the forme of Bread is giuen Thee his Bodie. Yea Caluin saith, In the supper, Christ Jesus, to wit, his Bodie and Bloud, is truely giuen vn∣der the signes of Bread and Wine.
