2. There is the blood of Christ really contained in the Chalice, and yet this blood is unbloodily offered. It is unbloodily offered, and yet it is really blood; yea there is nothing there but blood. True it is the ancient Fathers oft term the Eucharist oan unbloody sacrifice; which showeth their speeches, where they say, that pthe Altar and the people are besprinkled and dyed purple red with blood, were metaphorical and hyperbolical: and well might they so call it, not dreaming of any such bloody stuff in the Chalice, as these men seem to imagine. But how there can be an unbloody offering, where there is much more blood then flesh; and Christ offered unbloodily, where men drink nothing but mere blood; yea if Chrysostoms speeches ⟨p. 76⟩were to be taken properly, where all the Communicants are dyed red with blood, let any reasonable man judge.
