DOCT. XVII. That the presence of Christs body in the Supper depends not on ubiquitie, but on the words of Christ.

FRom whence it is manifest that the presence of Christs body in the Supper, depends not on ubiqui∣tie (as some have dreamed) but on the words of Christ working in us to whom it is made present, by the ho∣ly Spirit. For had the Apostles eaten

the bread which they received from the hands of Christ, before they had heard and received by faith these words of his THIS IS MY BO∣DY: they had certainly received and eaten nothing else but bread: So that for the establishing of the reall pre∣sence in the bread, that monstrous and prodigious opinion concerning ubiquitie, a thing odious to God and his Church, fetcht out of the di∣stinction of the School-men but con∣trarie even to the opinion of the School-men, had then nothing at all helped them.

And this is our belief and confes∣sion concerning the communion, the true eating, and the true presence of Christ's body.
