But doth not Christ call the Bread his Bo●y and the Wine his Blood A. Yes but Christ speaks this not in a proper but in a figurative or improper sense calling the sign by the name of the thing signified by it which manner of speech Christ did often use So he calls himself a Door a Vine a Light c. not that he was really changed into these very things but to teach us that he is of like use to our Souls that these are to our Bodies John 10.7 and 15.1 Q. 81.
