Now let vs examine S. Augustine.
1And S. Augustine about the same time, wrote thus: That which you see in the alter, is the bread and the cup, which also your eyes do show you. But faith showeth further, that bread is the body of Christ, & the cupper his blood, Here he declareth two things: that in the sacrament remaineth, bread and wine which we may discern with our eyes: and that the bread and wine be called the body and blood of Christ.

- 1Augustinus in sermone ad infantes.
1And the same thing he declareth also as plainly in an other place, saying: The sacrifice of the Church consisteth of two things, of the visible kind of the element, and of the invisible flesh and blood of our Lord Jesus Christ, both of the sacrament, and of the thing signified by the sacrament. Even as the person of Christ consisteth of God and man, forasmuch as he is very God and very man. For every thing containeth in it, the very nature of those things, whereof it consisteth. Now the sacrifice of the church consisteth of two things, of the sacrament, and of the thing thereby signified, that is to say, the body of Christ. Therefore there is both the sacrament, and the thing of the sacrament, which is Christs body.
