If they say, Christ by the same Pronoun meant the Accidents, and Shows of the Bread, Then must it follow, that the •aine Accidents, and Shows of Bread were the Body of Christ. But so should an Accident be a Substance: Which error were much worse, and far more unsensible, then the former.
If they saye, Christe by the same Pronowne meante the Accidentes, and Shewes of the Breade, Then muste it folow, that the •aine Accidentes, and Shewes of Breade were the Bodie of Christe. But so shoulde an Accidente be a Substance: Whiche errour were muche woorse, and farre more vnsensible, then the former.
If they say, This Pronoun, Hoc, signified the Body of Christ it self, Then the meaning of these Words, This is my Body, must needs •e this: My Body is my Body. 1But this (saith Holcote) were vainly spoken, and to no purpose. And by this exposition, Christs Body should be there, before the words of Consecration were pronounced: and so there should be no Virtue, or force in Consecration: or rather there should be Consecration, before Consecration: and so, Consecration, without Consecration.
If they saye, This Pronowne, Hoc, signified the Bodie of Christe it selfe, Then the meaninge of these Woordes, This is my Bodie, must needes •e this: My Bodie is my Bodie. 1But this (saithe Holcote) were vainely spoken, and to no purpose. And by this exposition, Christes Bodie shoulde be there, before the woordes of Consecration were pronounced: and so there shoulde be no Uertue, or force in Consecration: or rather there shoulde be Consecration, before Consecration: and so, Consecration, without Consecration.
