Wherefore we doubt not, but in the words of the supper, the true and natural body of Christ is spoken of the bread: especially sith it is added for expositions sake, which is given for you. So that it is most truly said that the bread is Christs body, even that true body which was given for us: but yet this is improperly & ⟨p. 125⟩figuratively: sith in very deed, the bread was not given for us, but the very body of Christ, whereof the bread is a sacrament.

Wherefore we doubt not, but in the words of the supper, the true and naturall bodie of Christ is spoken of the bread: especially sith it is added for expositions sake, which is giuen for you. So that it is most truely said that the bread is Christs bodie, euen that true bodie which was giuen for vs: but yet this is improperly & ⟨p. 125⟩figuratiuely: sith in verie deede, the bread was not giuen for vs, but the verie bodie of Christ, whereof the bread is a sacrament.
