First you say, The Sacrament, by the Judgement of Damascene, is called a Figure before the Consecration,1 that is to say, before the Sacrament be a Sacrament. Afterward upon better advise ye say, The Forms only, & the Shows, & Accidents are the Figure of Christs Body. Again you say, Christs Body Invisible, is a Figure of Christs Body Visible: that is to say, A thing uncertain, is a Figure of a thing most certain. Now last of all ye say, as, I think, no man ever said before, The very Body of Christ it self is a Figure of the Death of Christ. Thus many pretty strange unknown Figures ye are driven to devise, thereby to avoid one simple, plain, usual, & common Figure. For, to leave an infinite number of other Ancient Fathers,2 S. Augustine saithe, Dominus Figuram Corporis sui Discipulis suis commendavit, & tradidit: Our Lord commended, and delivered to his Disciples a Figure (not, as ye say, of his Death, but) of his Body.
Firste you saie, The Sacramente, by the Iudgemente of Damascene, is called a Figure before the Consecration,1 that is to saie, before the Sacramente be a Sacramente. Afterwarde vpon better aduise ye saie, The Fourmes onely, & the Shewes, & Accidentes are the Figure of Christes Body. Againe you saie, Christes Body Inuisible, is a Figure of Christes Body Visible: that is to saie, A thinge vncertaine, is a Figure of a thinge moste certaine. Nowe laste of al ye saie, as, I thinke, noman euer saide before, The very Body of Christe it selfe is a Figure of the Deathe of Christe. Thus many prety strange vnknowen Figures ye are drtuen to diuise, thereby to auoide one simple, plaine, vsual, & common Figure. For, to leaue an infinite number of other Anciente Fathers,2 S. Augustine saithe, Dominus Figuram Corporis sui Discipulis suis commendauit, & tradidit: Our Lorde commended, and deliuered to his Disciples a Figure (not, as ye saie, of his Death, but) of his Body.
