And where you say in your further answer here to S. Ambrose, that,1 the visible matter of the bread outwardly remaineth, it seemeth you have not well marked the words of S. Ambrose, who saith that the words of Christ changeth species elementorum. And then if species (as you have said before in many places) signify the visible matter, then the visible matter remaineth not (as you say) but is changed as S. Ambrose saith. And so ⟨p. 346⟩S. Ambrose words, that species elementorum mutantur, be clean contrary to your words, that the visible matter remaineth. I will pass over here how you call accidents of bread the matter of bread, against all order of speech, because I have touched that matter sufficiently before.

And then if species (as you haue sayd before in many places) signify the visible matter, then the visible matter remayneth not (as you say) but is changed as S. Ambrose sayth. And so ⟨p. 346⟩S. Ambrose wordes, that species elementorum mutantur, be cleane contrary to your wordes, that the visible matter remayneth. I will passe ouer here how you call accidents of bread the matter of bread, agaynst all order of speach, bicause I haue touched that matter sufficiently before.
