14 The change of the signes in the Sacramentes, is not naturall, but respectiue by vertue of the commandement of GOD: for the signes are chaunged, not in respect of their nature, but onelie in regarde of their vse: namelie, whereas the things which before were common, are by Gods commandement become the signes of heuenlie thinges: and this is the consecration of the Sacrament.
They err therefore, and destroy the whole nature of the Sacraments, who teach, that the substance of the signs, are, (as it were) by a kind of magical enchantment, either changed, or abolished.
