Consentius demandeth this question of S. Augustine,1 whether the Body of Christ being now in Heaven,2 have in it blood or no. Here to leave S. Augustine's answer, it is easy for any man to consider, if Consentius had been persuaded, as M. Harding would seem to be, that Christs Body hath Blood in it in the Sacrament, he would never have moved this question of the Body of Christ, that is in Heaven. To leave these new fantasies, whereof it doth not appear, that ever the old Catholic Doctors made any report, we must understand, that the Bread is the Sacrament of Christs Body, and the Wine is the Sacrament of his Blood. So saith Beda,3 Panis ad Corpus Christi Mystic•, Vinū refer•ur ad Sanguinem. The Bread in Mystical manner hath relation to the Body of Christ: the Wine hath relation unto his Blood. So likewise saith S. Paul, The Bread that we break, is it not the Communication of the Body of Christ? And the Cup of the blessing, which we bliss, is it not the Communication of the Blood of Christ? S. Paul saith not, each part is in other: but each hath a peculiar signification by it self.
Consentius demaundeth this question of S. Augustine,1 whether the Body of Christ being now in Heauen,2 haue in it bloud or no. Here to leaue S. Augustines answeare, it is easie for any man to consider, if Consentius had béene perswaded, as M. Hardinge woulde séeme to be, that Christes Body hath Bloud in it in the Sacrament, he woulde neuer haue mooued this question of the Body of Christe, yt is in Heauen. To leaue these new fantasies, whereof it dooth not appeare, that euer the olde Catholike Doctours made any reporte, wée must vnderstande, that the Breade is the Sacrament of Christes Body, and the Wine is the Sacrament of his Bloud. So saithe Beda,3 Panis ad Corpus Christi Mystic•, Vinū referur ad Sanguinem. The Breade in Mystical manner hath relation to the Body of Christe: the Wine hath relation vnto his Bloud. So likewise saith S. Paule, The Breade that we breake, is it not the Cōmunication of the Body of Christe? And the Cuppe of the blessinge, whiche wee blisse, is it not the Communication of the Bloude of Christe? S. Paule saithe not, eche parte is in other: but eche hath a peculiar signification by it selfe.
