The latter Authority is taken out of Augustine's first Sermon on Psal. 33. wherein he saith, that Christ was carried in his own hands, when he said, This is my body. And here again this great Doctor showeth either his little acquaintance with Augustine, or his fraudulent dealing with those whom he desireth to delude. For Augustine repeating again in the very next Sermon what he had delivered in the former, putteth in those words, which show what his meaning was: When he commended (saith he) unto them his body and blood, he took into his ⟨p. 64⟩hands, what the faithful know: (that was nothing, they themselves will grant, but fbread, when he took it.) And ghe carried himself after a manner, when he said, This is my body. And if you will know what that, after a manner, meaneth, Augustine himself will best tell you, where he saith elsewhere; hThe Sacrament of Christs body is after a manner Christs body: because Sacraments for the most part be are the names of those things whereof they are Sacraments. After a manner then it is the body of Christ. And yet is it bread still. For so Augustine again ielsewhere; kIt was Bread that Christ carried in his hands at his last Supper: lWhich Supper we to this day eat daily by Faith; and in it by faith receive Christ, in whom we believe; and taking a little modicum, are spiritually fatted.
