of bread, consecrated bread could not truely and properly be [ A] tearmed the bodie of Christ, but a sole part and 〈◊〉〈◊〉 thereof. Againe, we haue no reason to beleeue the bodie of Christ is truely and really present in the Sacrament, but on∣ly to the end that it may in the Supper be truely and really eaten, to nourish and feed mens soules. And if he be eaten onely mentally by Faith, we haue no ground to thinke that he is present more than mentally by Faith, the presence of his bodie being ordained vnto the manducation thereof; for [ B] else, why did he institute this Sacrament vnder the elements of Bread and Wine? But if Christ be not present wholly and totally vnder the forme of Bread, he cannot be truely and really eaten: Why then is his bodie brought from heauen to be there really present? or how can the bodie of Christ be∣ing coextended in place according to the naturall dimensions thereof, enter into the mouth of the Receiuer, yea in at the mouth of the wicked and vnworthie, as Fathers teach?
