Verse 37. Is the Sonne of man]

i.e. Signifies the Sonne of man: as Circumcision is the covenant: that is, the signe of the

covenant. And as Christ 〈◊〉〈◊〉 of the Sacramentall bread. This is my body, which Luther interprets synecdochically, for in, or, under this is my body. Calvin, after Tertullian and Augustine, inter∣prets it metonimically, for this is the signe or the figure of my body. Hence the Jesuites presently cry out: The spirit of God disagreeth not with it self. But these interpretations 〈◊〉〈◊〉 disagree: Therefore they are not of the spirit. But let them first agree among themselves, before they quarrel our disagreements: for their own Doctors are exceedingly divided even about this ve∣ry point of the Eucharist, and know not what their holy Mother holdeth. Bellarmine teacheth, that the substance of the bread, is not turned into the substance of Christs body Productivè, as one thing is made of another, but that the bread goes away, and Christs body comes into the room of it Adductivè, as one thing succeeds into the place of another, the first being voyded: And this, saith he, is the opinion of the Church of Rome, himself being Reader of Controversies at Rome. But Suarez, Reader at 〈◊〉〈◊〉 in Spain consutes Bellarmines opinion, tearming it Translocati∣on not Transubstantiation, and saith it is not the Churches o∣pinion.
