again_o declare_v it_o that_o through_o the_o consecration_n of_o bread_n and_o wine_n all_o the_o substance_n of_o the_o bread_n be_v convert_v into_o the_o substance_n of_o christ_n our_o lord_n

not_o well_o then_o see_v that_o the_o bread_n and_o wine_n in_o the_o sacrament_n be_v change_v we_o must_v examine_v their_o discourse_n to_o find_v who_o do_v swerve_v from_o the_o catholic_a

the_o latin_n do_v believe_v that_o it_o be_v invisible_o contain_v under_o the_o accident_n of_o bread_n and_o that_o the_o matter_n of_o the_o bread_n become_v nothing_o but_o the_o belief_n of_o the_o church_n of_o the_o east_n and_o south_n seem_v to_o be_v quite_o contrary_a to_o that_o first_o the_o patriarch_n jeremie_n absolute_o say_v that_o the_o flesh_n of_o our_o saviour_n which_o he_o carry_v be_v not_o give_v to_o his_o apostle_n to_o eat_v from_o whence_o it_o follow_v that_o they_o do_v eat_v some_o other_o matter_n which_o nevertheless_o be_v also_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n moreover_o he_o expound_v it_o say_v that_o it_o be_v as_o iron_n or_o wood_n burn_v which_o be_v call_v fire_n because_o that_o the_o fire_n surmount_v or_o overcom_v and_o the_o mater_fw-la of_o the_o iron_n be_v not_o reduce_v to_o nothing_o as_o concern_v the_o three_o he_o say_v in_o like_a manner_n that_o those_o that_o do_v communicate_v the_o sacrament_n be_v change_v into_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n and_o that_o the_o church_n be_v the_o true_a body_n of_o christ_n nevertheless_o every_o one_o confess_v that_o the_o matter_n of_o humane_a body_n be_v not_o reduce_v or_o bring_v to_o nothing_o likewise_o one_o may_v see_v that_o the_o church_n be_v call_v the_o true_a body_n of_o christ_n or_o else_o if_o the_o bread_n be_v call_v the_o true_a body_n of_o christ_n this_o word_n true_a be_v put_v as_o opposite_a even_o as_o the_o same_o author_n do_v expound_v it_o to_o the_o bare_a similitude_n figure_n or_o proportion_n and_o not_o as_o refer_v to_o the_o

wine_n of_o the_o sacrament_n as_o he_o change_v the_o water_n into_o wine_n in_o cana_n for_o the_o matter_n of_o the_o water_n be_v not_o reduce_v to_o nothing_o to_o give_v place_n to_o other_o

of_o wine_n these_o consideration_n and_o many_o other_o the_o which_o will_v be_v too_o tedious_a to_o recite_v do_v make_v some_o latin_a writer_n and_o among_o the_o rest_n durandus_fw-la to_o believe_v that_o the_o bread_n lose_v his_o form_n and_o not_o his_o matter_n no_o more_o than_o the_o accident_n and_o property_n thereof_o it_o be_v also_o to_o be_v note_v what_o the_o foresay_a jeremie_n say_v against_o consubstantiation_n that_o there_o be_v not_o two_o thing_n in_o the_o holy_a sacrament_n to_o wit_n the_o bread_n and_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n but_o one_o only_a to_o wit_n the_o body_n of_o christ_n give_v to_o note_v thereby_o that_o that_o matter_n which_o remain_v be_v no_o more_o the_o matter_n of_o bread_n but_o the_o matter_n of_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n as_o in_o the_o miracle_n of_o cana_n that_o matter_n which_o be_v then_o the_o matter_n of_o water_n when_o it_o have_v the_o form_n of_o water_n be_v the_o matter_n of_o wine_n when_o it_o have_v the_o form_n of_o wine_n and_o which_o be_v more_o there_o be_v no_o change_n wherein_o the_o matter_n continue_v not_o the_o same_o and_o if_o one_o well_o weigh_v the_o say_n of_o the_o father_n who_o believe_v some_o miracle_n to_o be_v in_o the_o sacrament_n he_o shall_v find_v that_o they_o do_v accord_v herein_o also_o they_o say_v that_o the_o substance_n of_o our_o flesh_n be_v augment_v by_o the_o eucharist_n and_o that_o there_o be_v two_o sort_n of_o the_o flesh_n of_o christ_n we_o must_v then_o observe_v how_o they_o conceive_v that_o the_o bread_n be_v change_v into_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n it_o seem_v that_o they_o will_v only_o have_v it_o a_o matter_n be_v it_o that_o it_o loose_v his_o form_n as_o durandus_fw-la say_v or_o loose_v it_o not_o which_o shall_v receive_v the_o form_n of_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n and_o the_o hide_a property_n which_o do_v proceed_v from_o that_o form_n and_o that_o that_o form_n be_v join_v to_o the_o matter_n it_o be_v no_o more_o bread_n neither_o the_o matter_n of_o bread_n but_o it_o be_v the_o body_n of_o christ_n and_o the_o matter_n of_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n for_o as_o the_o philosopher_n say_v forma_fw-la that_fw-mi esse_fw-la rei_fw-la some_o will_v say_v it_o be_v a_o dangerous_a curiosity_n to_o sound_v these_o mystery_n but_o i_o answer_v that_o of_o two_o inconvenience_n the_o lesser_a be_v to_o be_v choose_v and_o that_o it_o be_v a_o most_o dangerous_a carelessness_n to_o leave_v the_o church_n in_o division_n and_o to_o cause_n christian_n to_o be_v wound_v and_o slay_v for_o

out_o by_o debate_n among_o themselves_o this_o than_o may_v likely_o be_v gather_v out_o of_o the_o liturgy_n of_o christian_a people_n that_o the_o bread_n take_v the_o form_n of_o the_o body_n of_o the_o lord_n which_o for_o the_o matter_n and_o accident_n thereof_o be_v but_o only_o in_o heaven_n or_o that_o it_o receive_v the_o hide_a property_n of_o the_o form_n of_o the_o body_n of_o
