8 But when Christ saith: This, that is this bread, is my body: 1and this cup is my blood, it is a sacramental or metonymical kind of speech, whereby is attributed to the sign the name of the thing signified, that is, we are taught that the bread is the Sacrament or sign of Christs body that is, doth represent and witness that Christs body was offered for us on the cross, and given to us for food of eternal life, and is therefore an instrument of the holy Ghost to continue & increase this food in us, as Paul saith, The bread is the communion of Christs body, 2that is, that thing whereby we are made partakers of Christs body: and else where: We have all dr•nke of one drink into one spirit. 3The same is meant when it is said that the bread is called the body of Christ by similitude which is between the thing signified and the sign, namely because the body of Christ nourisheth our spiritual life, as the bread the corporal life: and because of the sure connection of receiving the thing and the sign, in the lawful use of a sacrament. And this is that sacramental union of the bread, & the body of Christ, which is expressed by the sacramental speech:4 not that local conjunction, which by some is devised.
