18_o but_o yet_o we_o follow_v the_o custom_n of_o the_o church_n do_v use_v bread_n unleavened_a for_o the_o example_n of_o christ_n and_o many_o good_a lesson_n not_o to_o be_v contemn_v which_o

all_o these_o be_v but_o the_o dream_n of_o humane_a reason_n be_v too_o curious_a to_o inquire_v into_o the_o manner_n of_o the_o sacramental_a presence_n and_o they_o proceed_v for_o the_o most_o part_n from_o a_o lust_n and_o desire_n to_o calumniate_v 28_o but_o this_o we_o hold_v according_a to_o the_o apostle_n that_o the_o bread_n in_o the_o eucharist_n be_v the_o communion_n of_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n and_o the_o wine_n the_o communion_n of_o the_o blood_n of_o christ._n 29_o the_o form_n of_o this_o sacrament_n consist_v in_o the_o blessing_n of_o the_o bread_n and_o wine_n and_o in_o the_o distribute_v of_o the_o bread_n and_o wine_n so_o bless_v and_o in_o the_o eat_v and_o drink_v of_o the_o bread_n and_o wine_n so_o distribute_v 30_o this_o sacramental_a blessing_n consist_v not_o in_o any_o magical_a conversion_n of_o the_o bread_n into_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n and_o the_o wine_n into_o his_o blood_n by_o any_o virtue_n lie_v hide_v in_o the_o word_n 31_o but_o it_o be_v a_o sacred_a &_o efficacious_a destinate_v or_o set_v apart_o of_o the_o external_a element_n to_o a_o sacramental_a use_n which_o be_v therefore_o call_v consecration_n 32_o when_o the_o minister_n therefore_o of_o the_o church_n follow_v the_o institution_n of_o christ_n &_o the_o example_n of_o his_o apostle_n concern_v which_o speak_v gregory_n lib._n 1._o cap._n 63._o in_o registro_fw-la and_o platina_n in_o the_o life_n of_o sixtus_n the_o first_o and_o many_o other_o when_o the_o minister_n i_o say_v do_v repeat_v the_o word_n of_o institution_n say_v first_o over_o the_o lord_n prayer_n we_o must_v not_o in_o any_o case_n think_v that_o it_o be_v a_o mere_a historical_a read_n of_o the_o text._n 33_o for_o first_o the_o minister_n do_v testify_v that_o he_o neither_o do_v nor_o have_v any_o will_n to_o do_v any_o thing_n according_a to_o his_o own_o will_n and_o pleasure_n or_o in_o his_o own_o name_n but_o that_o as_o the_o lawful_a steward_n of_o the_o mystery_n of_o god_n he_o do_v execute_v his_o function_n in_o perform_v this_o sacred_a and_o solemn_a action_n in_o the_o name_n of_o christ._n 34_o second_o he_o do_v by_o this_o mean_v set_v apart_o the_o bread_n and_o wine_n for_o a_o holy_a use_n that_o afterward_o they_o be_v no_o more_o mere_a bread_n and_o wine_n but_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ._n 35_o three_o he_o do_v earnest_o pray_v that_o christ_n will_v be_v mindful_a of_o his_o promise_n and_o vouchsafe_v to_o be_v present_a at_o the_o sacramental_a action_n and_o distribute_v both_o his_o body_n and_o blood_n together_o with_o the_o external_a element_n or_o the_o bread_n and_o wine_n 36_o last_o of_o all_o he_o do_v testify_v that_o by_o virtue_n of_o the_o lord_n institution_n and_o promise_n the_o bread_n in_o the_o eucharist_n be_v the_o communion_n of_o the_o body_n and_o the_o cup_n of_o blessing_n the_o communion_n of_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n and_o further_o do_v admonish_v all_o those_o that_o intend_v to_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n to_o remember_v that_o they_o be_v christ_n guest_n to_o rely_v on_o his_o word_n with_o true_a faith_n &_o to_o come_v with_o due_a preparation_n that_o so_o they_o may_v receive_v it_o unto_o their_o salvation_n 37_o but_o thus_o much_o we_o must_v know_v that_o the_o scripture_n do_v not_o in_o any_o place_n say_v that_o by_o consecration_n or_o blessing_n the_o bread_n be_v turn_v into_o the_o body_n and_o the_o wine_n into_o the_o blood_n of_o christ._n yea_o the_o scripture_n be_v express_o against_o it_o 38_o and_o transubstantiation_n a_o thing_n barbarous_a both_o for_o name_n and_o nature_n gather_v little_a strength_n from_o the_o disputation_n of_o some_o of_o our_o modern_a writer_n who_o thus_o expound_v it_o that_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n be_v make_v of_o the_o bread_n not_o as_o of_o the_o matter_n as_o it_o be_v make_v of_o the_o flesh_n of_o the_o virgin_n marie_n but_o as_o from_o a_o term_n à_fw-la qu●_n or_o from_o whence_o as_o heaven_n be_v make_v of_o nothing_o the_o night_n be_v make_v of_o the_o day_n and_o the_o wine_n be_v make_v of_o water_n 39_o for_o beside_o that_o they_o digress_v from_o the_o opinion_n of_o their_o predecessor_n for_o they_o hold_v the_o essential_a conversion_n of_o
