1Tertullian herein writing against Martion, saith these words. Christ did not reprove bread whereby he did represent his very body. And in the same book he saith, that Jesus taking bread, & distributing it amongst his disciples, made it his body, saying, This is my body. that is to say, (saith Tertullian) a figure of my body. And therefore saith Tertullian, that Christ called bread his body. and wine his blood, because that in the old Testament bread and wine were figures of his body and blood.
