1It is a plain sign of Antichrist, to deny the substance of bread and wine to be in the Lords Supper after consecration: for in so doing and granting Transubstantiation, the property of the humane nature of Christ is denied.

Now grant Transubstantiation, and then Christs natural body must needs be in many places, which is nothing else but to confound the two natures in Christ; or to deny Christs humane nature, which is the self same that S. John saith, to deny Christ to be come in the flesh. And this who so doeth, by the testimony of. S John, is an Antichrist in his so doing, whatsoever otherwise he do prate.
