The former whereof is / that Origene in this place spake not of the Sacramental bread or wine of the lords table / but of an other mystical meat / of the which S. Augustin maketh mention to be given unto them that were taught the faith / before they were baptised. But Origenes own words in two sentences before rehearsed being put together / proveth this answer untrue: For he sayeth that he meaneth of that figurative and mystical body / which profiteth them that do receive it worthily / alluding so plainly unto S Pauls words ⟨p. 57⟩spoken of the Lords supper / that it is a shame for any learned man once to open his mouth to the contrary. And that bread which S Augustine speaketh of / he can not prove that any such thing was used in Origenes time: Yea and though that could be proved / yet was there never bread in any time called a sacramental body saving the sacramental bread of the Lords table / which is called of Origene / the typical / and symbolical body of Christ.
The former wherof is / that Origene in this place spake not of the Sacramentall breade or wyne of the lordes table / but of an other misticall meate / of the whiche S. Augustin maketh mencion to be geuen vnto them that were taughte the faith / before they were baptised. But Origenes owne wordes in two sentences before rehersed beinge put to gether / proueth this aunswere vntrue: For he saieth that he meneth of that figuratiue and misticall bodye / whiche profiteth them that doe receiue it worthyly / alluding so plainly vnto S Paules wordes ⟨p. 57⟩spoken of the Lordes supper / that it is a shame for any learned manne once to open his mouth to the contrarie. And that breade whiche S Augustine speaketh of / he can not proue that any suche thinge was vsed in Origenes time: Yea and though that could be proued / yet was there neuer breade in any tyme called a sacramentall bodie sauing the sacramentall breade of the Lordes table / which is called of Origene / the typicall / and symbolicall bodie of Christe.
