Thus therefore saith Cyrillus, The Bread, that we see, is now not Bread, •ut Christs Body: and the Wine, that we see, is now not Wine, but Christs Blood. As if he should say, These Elements, or Creatures, are not so much the things, that they be in deed, as the things, that they represent. For so S. Augustine saith generally of all Sacraments,1 as it hath been alleged once, or twice before: In Sacraments we may not consider, what they be in deed, but what they signify. And to the same end S. Ambrose saith, Magis videtur, quod non videtur. It is better seen, that is not seen. 2And all this is wrought, both in the Mystery of Baptism, and also in the Mystery of Christs Body, not by the work, or force of Nature, but by the Omnipotent power of the Sprite of God,3 and by the warrant of Christs Word.
Thus therefore saithe Cyrillus, The Breade, that wee see, is now not Breade, •ut Christes Bodie: and the VVine, that wee see, is now not VVine, but Christes Bloud. As if he should say, These Elementes, or Creatures, are not so muche the thinges, that they be in déede, as the things, that they represent. For so S. Augustine saith generally of al Sacramentes,1 as it hath beene alleged once, or twise before: In Sacramentes wee may not consider, what they be in deede, but what they signifie. And to the same ende S. Ambrose saith, Magis videtur, quod non videtur. It is better seene, that is not seene. 2And al this is wrought, bothe in the Mysterie of Baptisme, and also in the Mysterie of Christes Bodie, not by the woorke, or force of Nature, but by the Omnipotent power of the Sprite of God,3 and by the warrant of Christes Woorde.
