Yet nevertheless, touching the effect of the Sacrament, we consider not the corruptible Natures, or outward Elements, but direct our Faith only to the Body, and Blood of Christ. S. Ambrose him self leadeth us thus to say, Ante Benedictionem Verborum Coelestium alia species nominatur: 1post Consecrationē Corpus Christi Significatur. Before the Blessing of the Heavenly Words, it is called an other kind: but after the Consecration, the Body of Christ is Signified.

Ambrose him self saith, Christus apparet in Figura Humana. Christ appeareth in the Form, or Figure of a Man. 1And S. Paul saith to like purpose, Formam Serui accepit: Christ took upon him the Form of a Servant. I think, M. Harding will not warrant us upon the force of these words,
