And where you allege Cyprian,1 to avoid thereby the saying of Chrysostom §4in the epistle by me cited, you take Cyprian clearly amiss, as I have plainly opened hereafter in the xi. chapter of this book, whereunto for to avoid the tediousness of repeating, I refer the indifferent reader, unto which mine answer there, helpeth much that which you grant here,2 that the word (nature) signifieth both the substance and also the propriety. For in Cyprian it is not taken for the substance (as you would fain have it) but for the property. For the substance of bread still remaining in them that duly receive the same, the property of carnal nourishment is changed into a spiritual nourishment, as more largely in mine answer to you in that place shall be declared.
