In th• gospel and writings of the Apostles oftentimes this Sacrament is plaine• called bread and wine, & that without doubt is in respect of the signs, that might thereby manifestly appear, that the substance of bread and wine doth remain in the sacrament, which thi• ⟨p. 91⟩also we perceive and fast, when we receive the same, although the Papists go about to persuade us the contrary.
