Cyprian's words tend not only to show, that wine is the creature §1appointed to the celebration of the mystery, but that it is also there present, and drunken in the mystery. For these be his words: It cannot be thought, that Christs blood is in the cup, when wine is not in the cup, whereby the blood of Christ is showed. And again he saith: It was wine that Christ called his blood, and that it is clear, that Christs blood is not offered, if there be no wine in the chalice. And further he saith: How shall we drink with Christ new wine of the creature of the vine, if in the sacrifice of God the father and of Christ, we do not offer wine? In these words Cyprian saith not, that Christ is the wine which we drink, but that with Christ we drink wine, that cometh of the vine tree, and that Christs blood is not there, when wine is not there. And where is now your Transubstantiation, that taketh away the wine? For take away the wine, and take away by Cyprian's mind, the blood of Christ also.
CIprians wordes tend not onely to shew, that wine is the creature §1appoynted to the celebration of the mistery, but that it is also there present, and dronken in the mistery. For these be his wordes: It cannot be thought, that Christes bloud is in the cup, when wine is not in the cup, wherby the bloud of Christ is shewed. And agayne he sayth: It was wine that Christ called his bloud, and that it is cleare, that Christes bloud is not offered, if there be no wine in the chalice. And further he sayth: How shall we drincke with Christ new wine of the creature of the vine, if in the sacrifice of God the father and of Christ, we do not offer wine? In these wordes Ciprian sayth not, that Christ is the wine which we drincke, but that with Christ we drincke wine, that commeth of the vine tree, and yt Christes bloud is not there, whē wine is not there. And where is now your Transubstantiation, that taketh away the wine? For take away the wine, and take away by Ciprians mind, the blood of Christ also.
