But to the matter. It is easy too show out of our seventh Argument, and out of that that went next before, that both these were figurative, whether thou do interpret that out of this, or this out of that: as for example both these Propositions, This cup for this Wine is my blood: ⟨image 147⟩and this wine is the communion of my blood: (now the like is too be thought of bread) it is divers from this, this wine is the liquor of the vine, which notwithstanding thou must needs say is most proper, and therefore so stoutly to be maintained, because as we have said, overthrowing or taking away the substance of the sign, the foundation of the analogy or proportion should also be taken away and overthrown.
Answeare. Therefore at the length thou arte brought too confesse that whosoeuer doeth mainteine and defende figures in the controuersie of the Sacraments, doe not ouerthrowe the Testament of the Sonne of GOD. But to the matter. It is easie too shewe out of our seuenth Argument, and out of that that went next before, that both these were figuratiue, whether thou doe interprete that out of this, or this out of that: as for example both these Propositions, This cup for this Wine is my blood: ⟨image 147⟩and this wine is the communion of my bloode: (nowe the like is too bee thought of breade) it is diuers from this, this wine is the licour of the vine, which notwithstanding thou must needes say is most proper, and therefore so stoutly to bee maintened, because as we haue saide, ouerthrowing or taking away the substaunce of the signe, the foundation of the analogy or proportion shoulde also bee taken away and ouerthrowen.
