For, that Christs body is a true body, and that it is in many places at once, are flat contrary: because (as hath ben showed) it is essential to all magnitudes to be in one place, and therefore to a body. And God cannot take away that which is essential to a thing, the essence remaining whole. 2. Again, transubstantiation maketh the Accidents of Bread and Wine to remain without the substance. Here also is another contradiction as impossible as the former: for it is a common saying in scholes, ⟨p. 231⟩Accidentis esse, est inesse. It is of the essence of an accident to be in the substance. Now therefore, if the accidents be, there is also the Bread and Wine: and if there be no substance of Bread or Wine, neither can there be any accidents. 3. It holdeth, that Bread is turned into the body of Christ, & therefore it must needs hold, that Christs body is made of Bakers bread, and yet it holdeth and teacheth that Christs body is only made of the seed of Mary, quite overthrowing the former Transubstantiation.
For, that Christes bodie is a true bodie, and that it is in manie places at once, are flat contrarie: because (as hath ben shewed) it is essentiall to all magnituds to be in one place, and therefore to a bodie. And God cannot take away that which is essentiall to a thing, the essence remaining whole. 2. Again, transubstantiation maketh the Accidents of Breade and Wine to remaine without the substance. Here also is another contradiction as impossible as the former: for it is a cōmon saying in scholes, ⟨p. 231⟩Accidentis esse, est inesse. It is of the essence of an accident to be in the substance. Nowe therefore, if the accidents bee, there is also the Bread and Wine: and if there be no substance of Bread or Wine, neither can there be anie accidents. 3. It holdeth, that Bread is turned into the bodie of Christ, & therefore it must needs holde, that Christs body is made of Bakers bread, and yet it holdeth and teacheth that Christes bodie is onelie made of the seed of Mary, quite ouerthrowing the former Transubstantiation.
