224._o question_n rehearse_v the_o third_o answer_n by_o that_o that_o be_v add_v do_v this_o in_o the_o remembrance_n of_o i_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o the_o body_n be_v not_o proper_o so_o call_v of_o the_o bread_n nor_o the_o blood_n of_o the_o wine_n because_o they_o be_v there_o present_a together_o in_o the_o same_o place_n whereas_o bread_n &_o wine_n be_v now_o remembrance_n be_v not_o of_o thing_n present_a but_o of_o thing_n absent_a therefore_o bernard_n in_o his_o 33._o sermon_n upon_o the_o canticle_n dispute_v of_o the_o self_n same_o thing_n oppose_v faith_n and_o the_o

question_n declare_v the_o five_o answer_n so_o i_o gather_v it_o from_o the_o circumstance_n of_o the_o time_n at_o what_o time_n the_o lord_n say_v of_o that_o wine_n this_o be_v my_o blood_n which_o be_v shed_v for_o many_o for_o the_o remission_n of_o sin_n as_o yet_o it_o be_v not_o shed_v forth_o out_o of_o the_o vessel_n of_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n neither_o ever_o after_o be_v it_o read_v to_o be_v gather_v in_o any_o vessel_n therefore_o in_o that_o cup_n then_o there_o be_v not_o proper_o that_o blood_n of_o christ_n shed_v for_o we_o between_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o tormentor_n neither_o now_o also_o be_v it_o much_o less_o therefore_o be_v that_o wine_n they_o or_o now_o be_v that_o same_o blood_n proper_o shed_v for_o us._n but_o that_o same_o proposition_n be_v figurative_a which_o testify_v unto_o we_o that_o we_o true_o and_o spiritual_o through_o faith_n be_v partaker_n of_o christ_n himself_o and_o of_o his_o passion_n and_o of_o all_o other_o his_o gift_n 227._o question_n declare_v the_o six_o answer_v i_o gather_v also_o by_o that_o that_o chrysostome_n have_v write_v that_o christ_n himself_o be_v a_o partaker_n of_o those_o sign_n hom._n in_o matth._n 83._o but_o if_o his_o body_n shall_v be_v speak_v proper_o of_o that_o bread_n which_o christ_n do_v eat_v and_o his_o blood_n of_o that_o wine_n which_o christ_n drink_v then_o shall_v christ_n proper_o eat_v and_o drink_v himself_o 228._o question_n show_v the_o seven_o answer_n i_o gather_v out_o of_o other_o place_n of_o the_o scripture_n that_o this_o be_v not_o a_o proper_a proposition_n for_o as_o often_o thing_n unlike_a be_v attribute_v to_o the_o same_o subject_n it_o must_v needs_o be_v that_o some_o of_o these_o be_v take_v proper_o and_o some_o figurative_o which_o i_o set_v forth_o by_o example_n thus_o the_o gospel_n be_v call_v the_o power_n of_o god_n to_o salvation_n rom._n 1._o 16._o and_o in_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o same_o chapter_n it_o be_v call_v the_o doctrine_n reveal_v from_o above_o concern_v the_o son_n of_o god_n which_o then_o forasmuch_o as_o they_o be_v diverse_a it_o must_v needs_o be_v understand_v that_o one_o be_v speak_v proper_o and_o the_o other_o figurative_o it_o be_v geather_v not_o dark_o out_o of_o john_n the_o 17._o 3._o that_o faith_n be_v the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o true_a god_n &_o of_o jesus_n christ_n whereby_o we_o be_v save_v the_o same_o be_v define_v also_o to_o be_v the_o ground_n of_o those_o thing_n which_o be_v not_o therefore_o one_o of_o these_o 1._o heb._n 11._o 1._o must_v needs_o be_v

be_v expound_v by_o the_o same_o figure_n but_o to_o show_v that_o that_o i_o have_v say_v be_v true_a to_o wit_n as_o often_o as_o unlike_a thing_n be_v speak_v of_o the_o same_o subject_n the_o one_o of_o they_o must_v be_v a_o proper_a attribution_n the_o other_o figurative_a but_o the_o cup_n that_o be_v to_o say_v the_o wine_n contain_v in_o the_o cup_n be_v sometime_o say_v to_o be_v
