What is vnderstood by naming of bodie, and bloud in the Attri∣bute of these propositions, This is my bodie, and This is my bloud?
Not a signe thereof, which some fathers call a Sacramentall bodie, that is to say, Sacramentally vnderstood: euen as when they say that the bodie of the Lord is seene, touched, brused with the teeth, doth fall vpon the earth, is created, made, consumed. Also not the mystical body which is the Churcha 1.1. For so the faith∣full should seeme to cate either the signes alone, or the Church: although we doe not deny this, that the mysticall bodie is sha∣dowed, and moreouer established by the signes of bread an•• wineb 1.2: but Synecdochically the whole humanitie of Christ both altogether and in respect of parts the true and naturall bodie of Christ deliuered for vs, crucified, and buried. The true bloud shed for vs, and his true soule, yea also the whole person of Christ. For truely his humanitie without the Deitie of the word, which is life it selfe and the fountaine of life cannot bee the bread of life to vsc 1.3. Neither can the humanitie be separated from the word, nei∣ther can the humanitie subsist without the Diuinite, and his bene∣fits without the whole person: and therefore the one without the other are neither giuen nor receiued.
