And sith no man can be fed by accidents, how can such accidents then represent §3that same eternal food? Furthermore, though by the means of some accidents, ⟨p. 59⟩material things may be set before our eyes, yet all accidents do not belong to, or agree with every matter: for many both white and round things may be beheld, which shall not for all that represent a body: and who hath told them that the bread which Christ brake and gave unto his disciples, was white or round, in such sort as they bake it and make it? Therefore the true signs of Christs body and blood, are the very bread, and the very wine, which thing the apostle declareth,1 saying: The bread which we break, is the communion or partaking of the body of Christ: and the cup that we bless is the partaking of the blood of Christ. And that same consubstantiation or transubstantiation, is a filthy forgery and devise of satan.
