234. Question.
I mean this, that the very body of Christ & his very blood in very deed is present, in or under, or with that bread and that wine in the Lords Supper, but not so in the water of Baptism.
I meane this, that the very body of Christ & his very blood in very deede is present, in or vnder, or with that bread and that wyne in the Lordes Supper, but not so in the water of Baptisme.
Answer. Thou resistest therefore their doctrine, who teach that the humanity of Christ also is every where present according to the very substance. But now let us leave this. Doest thou not see that the question is again changed of thee? For neither did we indeed ⟨image 155⟩seek that whether the thing signified were present in the self same place where that bread and that wine was, or whether it were absent: but this we demanded in what kind of attribution the thing signified either present or absent might be said of the sign properly or figuratively: and whether it might be said in an other kind of attribution of the elements of the Lords supper then of the elements of other Sacraments. The question therefore of presence or absence maketh nothing to the matter, neither can by any manner of means bring to pass, that that which is, or is given, in, under, or with somewhat, either present or absent, should there fore be said properly too be that very thing, in, under, or with which it is.
