But to proceed from his actions to the words IESVS added, Take, eate this is my Body. The vnderstanding of these words depends principally vppon the explication of the word this. we say, by the word this, Christ meant that which he held when he spake the word this, because transubstantiation is not yet made till the words following, This is my Body, be fully pronounced. They expound all the fower words This is my Body, thus: vnder the species is my Body: but enquire of them what is it which was vnder the species when Christ spake only the word this; and they confesse that it was as yet bread: which is the same that we mayntaine against them. It is bread then: and by consequence, this there signifyes bread that I hold: and these words, This is my Body. are as much as, this bread is my Body.
