211. Question.
Why therefore do you interpret the body the Sacrament, or the sign or figure of the body?
Why therefore doe you interprete the body the Sacrament, or the signe or figure of the body?
Answer. It is all one to say, that that bread is the body of Christ, but not ⟨image 138⟩properly, but not as it signifieth the same Sacramentally: and to say that the bread is not that body, but only the Sacrament of that body. Therefore that difference that our adversaries object here unto us, is most vain and foolish. That the fathers aswell Greeks as Latins, have spoken both ways, it is more often showed of our men, then that we ought so often to repeat their sayings.
