The sacramental bread is the mystical body / 1and so is called in scripture / 1 Cor. 10. as it is called the natural body of Christ: But Christs mystical body is the congregation of Christians.2 Now no man was ever so fond / as to say that that sacramental bread is transubstantiated and changed into the substance of the congregation. Wherefore no man should likewise think or say that the bread is transubstantiated / and changed into the natural substance of Christs human nature.
The sacramentall breade is the misticall bodye / 1and so is called in scripture / 1 Cor. 10. as it is called the naturall bodye of Christe: But Christes misticall bodye is the congregacion of Christians.2 Now no manne was euer so fonde / as to saye that that sacramentall bread is transubstantiated and changed into the substaunce of the congregatiō. Wherfore no manne shoulde lykewise thynke or saie that the breade is transubstantiated / and chaunged into the naturall substaunce of Christes humaine nature.

But my mind is not here to write what may be gathered out of scriptures for this purpose / but only to write here briefly those which seem to me to be the most plain places. Therefore contented to have spoken thus much of the sacramental bread / now I will speak a little of the Lords cup.
