And is there any such food or fruit at all that is no physical substance, or that consisteth of emere accidents? He deserveth to be fed, till he starve, with such food, that would feed or infect rather mens souls with such draffy stuff as this is. Yea in precise terms he saith, that Christ called Bread (not the accidents of bread) his Body, as he called his Body else-where bread.

3. The very main drift and scope evidently manifesteth his meaning; which is to show that the Lords Body, though it be not a common body, but hath glorious endowments, yet remaineth a true body still; as the Sacramental bread though it be not common bread, yet retaineth still it former nature and substance, and is true bread still.
