the gender (the like whereof we finde, Ephes. 5. 6.) and so the* 1.2 Apostle interpreteth it, 1 Cor. 10. 16. & 11. 26. The sense then is, This bread is my true essentiall body, which is given for you:* 1.3 that is, by an ordinary metonymy. This bread is the signe of my body, as circumcision is called the covenant, that is the signe of the covenant, and seal of the righteousnes of faith, Rom. 4. 11. And* 1.4 as Homer calls 〈◊〉〈◊〉 sacrifices, covenants; because thereby the co∣venants were confirmed: Virgil calleth it fallere dextras, to deceive the right hands, for to break the oath that was taken, by* 1.5 the taking of right hands, &c. Transubstantiation is a meer ficti∣on: and the learnedest Papists are not yet agreed whether the substance of the bread in this Sacrament be turned into the substance of Christs body productivè, as one thing is made of a∣nother, or whether 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 voided. 〈◊〉〈◊〉 is for the first, Bellar∣mine for the latter sense. And yet because Luther and Calvin agree not upon the meaning of these words, This is my body, the Jesuites cry out, Spiritus sanctus a seipso non discordat, Hae interpretationes discordant, Ergo: for Luther interpreteth the words Synechdochi∣cally, Calvin Metonymically, after Tertullian and Augustine; This is my body, for this is a signe or figure of my body, a seal also to every faithfull receiver, that Christ is his, with all his benefits.
