1For some things are common unto many senses, and others are proper unto some one sense alone. For figure, quantity, and number, are perceived of many senses: 2& doubtless in such things the senses may be deceived. As Carneades was wont to dispute of bending an ore in the water, and of the bigness of the body of the sun. But in things which properly be sensible, the sense is never deceived, unless it be long of some impediment of the body, or overmuch distance, or some such like let. Wherefore, seeing that in the Eucharist our sense doth show us that bread remaineth, there is no need to feign that the sense is therein deceived.
