This question is in controversy between us both with the Papists & the Ubiquitaries, because both of them are of opinion that the things being present in their signs, or under the shows of the signs are covertly and miraculously carried up and down in the hands of the ministers, handled by them, and put into the mouths of the Communicants. We contrariwise teach, that the things with their signs are both together exhibited and received with their signs in the lawful use of the Supper, but in a divers manner. For the ⟨p. 161⟩signs are handled by the Ministers, and taken by the mouth of the Communicants: But the things themselves are given by Christ our high Priest, & received by faith. This point may in like sort with the former be expressed in three propositions; two negative, and one affirmative.
This question is in controuersie betweene vs both with the Papists & the Vbiquitaries, because both of them are of opinion that the things being present in their signes, or vnder the shewes of the signes are covertly and miraculously caried vp and downe in the hands of the ministers, hādled by them, and put into the mouthes of the Communicants. We contrariwise teach, that the thinges with their signes are both togither exhibited and receiued with their signes in the lawful vse of the Supper, but in a diuers manner. For the ⟨p. 161⟩signes are handled by the Ministers, and takē by the mouth of the Communicants: But the things themselues are given by Christ our high Priest, & received by faith. This point may in like sort with the former be expressed in three propositiōs; two negatiue, and one affirmatiue.
The things signified, that is, the body and blood of Christ, are neither handled, nor reached out by the hand of the Ministers to be received corporally in the signs.
The things signified, that is, the bodie and bloude of Christ, are neither handled, nor reached out by the hand of the Ministers to be receaved corporallie in the signes.
1 The first reason is collected negatively from the whole kind of Sacraments, thus, In no Sacrament the Ministers handle or bestow things spiritually signified. Therefore neither in the Lords Supper do they handle the thing spiritually signified.

The Antecedent is proved both by an induction or instance in every Sacrament, which is evident by the adversaries own confession; and also the proportion between the Sacrament, and the word. Marc. 1. I am the voice crying &c. Joh. 1. I baptise with water; he which cometh after me shall baptise with the holy Ghost, and with fire. 1. Cor. 3. 7. Neither he that watereth, nor he that planteth is any thing, but God which giveth the increase. Therefore it holdeth alike also in the Sacraments, which are the visible word.

2 The second reason is this.
The things signified are not corporally, IN, WITH, or UNDER the signs, as hath been showed. Therefore they are not handled, or distributed by the hand of the Minister.
The things signified are not corporally, IN, WITH, or VNDER the signes, as hath beene shewed. Therefore they are not handled, or distributed by the hand of the Minister.
3 The third reason proceedeth thus, The things signified in the Supper are spiritual, which coupled with their signs are offered in the promise of grace. But the promise of grace is not handled with hands &c.

4 The fourth reason is the testimonies of Fathers; as Chrysost. Sermone de Euch. […]. Think not when ye come to these mysteries, that ye receive the Lords body at the hands of a man, that is to say the Minister; with many other such like places.

The things signified I mean, the body and blood of the Lord are not received WITH, IN, and UNDER the bread and wine by the mouth of the body.
