By the Consecration of the Altar, the Bread, and the Wine are made a Sacrament of Religion, not that they leave to be the same, they were before: but that they be altered into an other thing, and become that, they were not before,2 as S. Ambrose writeth. And the Sacrifice of the Church standeth of two things, the one Visible, the other Invisible: that is to say, the Sacrament, and the matter, or Substance of the Sacrament.

Ambrose writeth. And the Sacrifice of the Churche standeth of two thinges, the one Visible, the other Inuisible: that is to saie, the Sacrament, and the mater, or Substance of the Sacramente. Whiche Substance notwithstandinge, that is to saye, the Bodie of Christe, if it were before our eyes, it shoulde be Visible. But beinge taken vp into Heauen, and sittinge at the Right hande of the Father, vntil al thinges be restoared, accordinge to the woordes of the Apostle S. Peter,
