MarginaliaTheodoretus Dial. 1. contra Eutychen.These visible mysteries which are seene, he hath honored with the name of his body and bloud, not chaunging the nature, but addyng grace vnto nature. &c. And the same Theodoretus agayne sayth:MarginaliaTheodoretus Dial. 2. contra Eutychen.

Those mysticall Sacramentes after sanctification do not passe out of their own proper nature, but remaine still in their former substance, figure, and shape. &c.

Ergo, lyke as the body of Christ remayned in him, and was not chaunged into hys diuinitie: so in the Sacrament the bread is not chaunged into the body, but both the substaunces remaine whole.

MarginaliaOrigen. in Matth. cap. 15.If what soeuer entreth into the mouth, goeth down into the belly, and so passeth through a man: euē that meate also which is sanctified by the worde of God and by prayer, as touchyng that parte which it hath materiall with in it, passeth into the bely, and so voideth through a mā. But through prayer which is adioyned to it, accordyng to the measure of faith, it is profitable & effectuall. &c. And he addeth moreouer: For it is not the outward matter of the bread, but the word that is spoken vpō it, that profiteth hym which eateth him worthely. &c.

MarginaliaIrenæus Lib. codē.Iesus taking bread of the same conditon which is after vs (that is, taking bread of þ^e same nature & kinde as we vse cōmonly to eate) did confesse it to be his body. And taking likewise the cuppe which is of the same creature which is after vs (that is, which we cōmonly vse to drinke) confessed it to be his bloud. &c.

Itē, lib. 4. Like was bread which is of the earth receauyng the worde and callyng of God, is now not common bread, but the Eucharist, cōsistyng of two things, the one earthly, the other heauenly: so our bodyes receauyng the sacrate Eucharist, bee now not corruptible, hauing hope of resurrection. &c.

Ba-	The bread in the Sacramēt is so chaunged into the body, as our bodies are chaunged when they are made vncorruptible by hope.
ro-	But our bodies are not made incorruptible by chaungyng their substaunce:
co.	Ergo, no more is the bread chaunged into the sub- stance of the body.

MarginaliaGregorius in Registro.Notwithstanding whether we take leauened or vnleauened bread, we are all one body of our Lord and Sauiour. &c.

Da-	Where bread leauened or vnleauened is takē, there is substance of bread and not accidences onely.
ri-	In the Sacramēt bread is receaued either leauened or vnleauened:
j.	Ergo, in the Sacrament is substaunce of bread and not accidences onely.

The body of Christ is named of that which is proportioned round, and is vnsensible in operation.

Accidences onely of bread haue no figure of roūdnes:

Ergo, the body of Christ is not named of accidences, but of very bread substantiall.  

The wordes of the Euangeliste speakyng of that which Christ tooke, blessed, brake, and gaue, doe importe it to be bread, and nothyng els but bread.

Ergo, the substaunce of bread is not to be excluded out of the Sacrament.

MarginaliaChrysost. 1. Cor. 11. el. 27.Christ in bread and wine said: do this in remēbrance of me.

MarginaliaCyrill. in Iren. lib. 4. cap. 14.He gaue to them peeces or fragmentes of bread.

Also the same Cyrill sayth: In bread we receaue hispretious body, and his bloud in wyne.

Ergo, by these Doctours it remayneth bread after consecration.

Before the bleßing of the heauenly wordes, it is called an other kinde of thyng. After consecration the body of Christ is signified.

Da-	The Analogie   Commentary     Close St Augustine gave the traditional definition of Sacraments as visible signs ('analogy', 'similtude'of invisible grace, grace being the Holy Spirit or God's divine self at work in the world. Protestants argued that regarding the Eucharist the bread and wine are the 'analogy' that signify Christ's true but spiritual presence. Catholics argue that visible signs or analogy are the accidents of the outward signs of bread and wine after the substance of the bread and wine have been consecrated and completely transformed into the invisible but true, spiritual and corporeal body and blood of the Risen Christ.

ti-	In the Sacrament of the Lordes body, this Analo- gie or resemblaunce cā not be kept, if bread be tran- substantiated:
si.	Ergo, the substaunce of bread must nedes remayne in the Sacrament of the Lordes body.

MarginaliaAugust. Epist. ad Dardanum.The Maior  

of this argumēt is certain by S. Austen, Lib. De catechisandis rudib , & epist. ad Dardan. Where hee sayth: Sacramentes muste needes beare a similitude of those thynges vvherof they are Sacramentes, or els they can be no Sacramentes.

The Minor is thus proued.

MarginaliaApologie or proportion betwene the outward nourishing of bread in our bodyes, and the inward nourishing of Christes bodily death in our soules.

Ba-	The resemblaunce betwen the Sacrament and the body of Christ is this: that as þe properties of bread and wyne doe nourish outwardly: so þe properties of the body of Christ do nourish spiritually.
ro-	Without the substaunce of bread and wyne there is no resemblance of nourishyng:
co.	Ergo, without the substaunce of bread and wyne the Analogie can not hold.

Ba-	Agayne, an other resemblaunce and similitude or Analogie of this Sacrament is this: that as one loafe of bread, and one cup of wyne conteineth ma- ny cornes and many grapes: so the mysticall congre gation conteyneth many members, and yet maketh but one body:
ro-	Without the substaunce of bread and wyne, no such resemblaunce or similitude of coniunction can be re- presented:
co.	Ergo, without the substaunce of bread and wyne, the Analogie of this spirituall cōiunction can not hold.

Ba-	Euery Sacrament consisteth in two thinges, that is, in the thyng signifiyng, and the thyng signified.
ro-	Without the substaunce of bread and wyne, there is nothyng that signifieth in the Sacrament:
co.	Ergo, the substance of bread and wyne in the Sacra- ment can in no wise be transubstantiate from their natures.

[Back to Top]

The Minor is thus to be proued.

Fes-	There is no signification in any Sacrament with- out the element.
ti-	The substaunce of bread and wine is the element of this Sacrament:
no.	Ergo, without the substance of bread and wyne there is no similitude nor signification in this Sa- crament.

And for somuch as þ^e aduersaries ground their transubstantiatiō so much vpō these wordes of Christ: This is my body:  

which they expoūd only after þ^e literal sense, without trope   or figure: now that this their expositiō is false, and that the sayd wordes are to be takē figuratiuely and spiritually, by three causes it is to be proued: 1. First by þ^e wordes of the Scripture: 2. By þ^e nature of a Sacrament: 3. By the testimonies of the fathers.

MarginaliaThree causes prouing that these wordes of Christ, Hoc est corpus meū, are not to be taken literally but spiritually.
Places of scripture making agaynst transubstantiation.1 First by these wordes of the Scripture, where hee sayth: Do this in remembraunce of me: for so much as remembraunce properly serueth not for thynges corporally present, but for thinges rather beyng absent.
