209. Question.
What, doest thou place a figure in the predicate?
Answer. I know that certain men do charge us so, and that not in one kind of slander. For some do accuse us as ⟨image 137⟩though we should here understand by the body of Christ, the Church: as though forsooth we should be so mad, not to mark that those words, which is given for you, can not be understood of the mystical body: or as though in the other member there should be meant some mystical blood. But others because we interpret the body the Sacrament or the sign of the body, by and by they conclude, that we make a double bodied Christ, or else that we attribute (I cannot tell what) fantastical body, of which notwithstanding God be thanked, neither of both is admitted of us. For we are so far of from that, that we should say that another then that true and only body of Christ given for us, is to be said of that bread, that we contrariwise contend that whole Christ God & man, is there denominated of another nature, to wit, the bodily, and that for that cause which we have showed before.
