zThis sentence (saith he) This Bread is my Body, either must be taken figuratively, that the Bread be Christs body significatively, (that is, by signification only) or else it is altogether absurd and impossible: for it cannot be that the Bread should be the Body of Christ: (he meaneth, essentially, or otherwise then by signification or representation.) So that The Bread is said to be Christs body: the course of the Text showeth it; and the Ancients commonly acknowledge it: but it cannot so be (saith Bellarmine) but figuratively. In no other sense therefore are our Saviours words to be understood.
