Seing that Aristotle, booke, 5. chap. 6. of the Metaphysicks doth teach that there are fower kinds of them which are one, In number figure, generall, Analogie, which of these waies is the bread the bodie of Christ?

Neither in number, nor figure, nor generall kinde, but in ana∣logie or proportion and similitude, for they are said to be one in proportion, whatsoeuer are compared together betweene them∣selues, as one thing to another, according to proportion, he saith, What things soeuer are as one thing to another, are said one in respect. Therfore the bread and body of Christ, or the bread of life, are one thing in proportion, because both of them doe giue suste∣nance; that is, nourishment and increase to a man, but that to the bodie, but this to the faithfull soule. So the wine of the Lord and the bloud of the Lord are one in proportion, because they quench thirst, and doe refresh, but that the bodie & this the faithfull soule.
