A discussion of the popish doctrine of transubstantiation wherein the same is declared, by the confession of their own writers, to have no necessary ground in Gods Word: as also it is further demonstrated to be against Scripture, nature, sense, reason, religion, and the judgement of t5xxauncients, and the faith of our ancestors: written by Thomas Gataker B. of D. and pastor of Rotherhith.A discussion of the popish doctrine of transubstantiation vvherein the same is declared, by the confession of their owne writers, to haue no necessary ground in Gods Word: as also it is further demonstrated to be against Scripture, nature, sense, reason, religion, and the iudgement of t5xxauncients, and the faith of our auncestours: written by Thomas Gataker B. of D. and pastor of Rotherhith.

Yea you shall find that which we herein maintain, evidently confessed and confirmed by the Gloss upon Augustine in the Popes own Canons. Augustine's words inserted into the Corps of the Canon Law are these; bAs the heavenly Bread, which is the Flesh of Christ, is in it own manner called the body of Christ, when as in deed and truth it is a sacrament of that body of Christ, which being visible, palpable, and mortal was placed on the Cross: and that immolation of Christs flesh which is done with the Priests hands is called Christs passion, death, and crucifying, not in the truth of the thing, but in a mystery signifying it: so the Sacrament of faith, whereby we understand Baptism, is faith. And the Popish Gloss upon that place thus speaketh; cThe heavenly bread, that is, the heavenly Sacrament, which truly representeth the flesh of Christ, is called the Body of Christ, but improperly: and therefore is it said, In it own manner, but not in the truth of the thing, but in a significant mystery. So that the meaning is, It is called the body of Christ, that is, it signifieth the body of Christ. Thus word for word the Gloss.

Augustines words inserted into the Corps of the Canon Law are these; bAs the heauenly Bread, which is the Flesh of Christ, is in it owne manner called the bodie of Christ, when as in deede and truth it is a sacrament of that body of Christ, which being visible, palpable, and mortall was placed on the Crosse: and that immolation of Christs flesh which is done with the Priests hands is called Christs passion, death, and crucifying, not in the truth of the thing, but in a mystery signifying it: so the Sacrament of faith, whereby we vnderstand Baptisme, is faith. And the Popish Glosse vpon that place thus speaketh; cThe heauenly bread, that is, the heauenly Sacrament, which truly representeth the slesh of Christ, is called the Body of Christ, but improperly: and therefore is it said, In it owne manner, but not in the truth of the thing, but in a significant mystery.
