Body &c. Our Lord, or his Apostles, or Fathers, haue in no place called an Image (or figure) the vnbloudy Sacrifice, which is offered by the Priest, but the very Body it selfe, and the Bloud it selfe &c. Before they are sanctifyed they are called types, but after Sanctification, they are called, are, and belieued, properly the Body and Bloud of Christ.

No man can make this Sacrament, but a Priest, who is duly ordered according to the keyes of the Church, which Christ Iesus granted to the Apostles, and to their Successours. And the like is taught by the other General Councels of Constance, and Florence.
Answerably to these holy Councells, all Catholi∣kes now belieue, that in this blessed Sacrament, the Body and Bloud of Christ are not only figuratiuely, spiritually, or by fayth, but truly and really, the Substance of Bread & wine being wholly changed or transubstantiated into that very Body and Bloud of our Lord, which he tooke from the euer B. Virgin Mary, and which was afterwards offered vpon the Crosse.
Pointes Disputable.

O∣thers, that God giueth them a certayne substantiall manner of being, by vertue whereof they subsist by themselues.
Some thinke, that the forme consisteth in all those wordes (enim excepted) which according to the rite of the Latin Church, are pronounced at Consecration. But others more truly teach, that the wordes Noui, and Eterni, and
