First, Tertullian saithe thus, Christus acceptum Panem, & distributum Discipulis, Corpus suum illum fecit,1 Hoc est Corpus meum, hoc est, Figura Corporis mei: Christ taking the Bread, and dividing it to his Disciples, made it his Body, saying: This is my Body, that is to say, This is a Figure of my Body. S. Augustine saith, Non dubitavit Dominus dicere, Hoc est Corpus meum, cùm daret Signum Corporis sui: Our Lord doubted not to say, This is my Body, when he gave a Token of his Body.
