XIX. It is a Miracle of this Miracle which Aquinas and others assert, that the Bread and Wine are not Annihilated, but wholly turned into Christs body and blood; and yet, as Vasquez saith, It is not that the matter of bread begins to be under the form of Christs body (as Durandus held.) Saith Veron Reg. fid. cap. 5. ⟨p. 108⟩This Transubstantiation is neither a change nor a production of any thing; but it is a Relation of order between the substance that doth desist to be, and that into which it doth desist. And yet saith the Concil. Trident. There is a change made of the whole substance into, &c.
XX. Lastly, It is a Miracle that all these Miracles should be done so as not to appear to the senses of any man living, either to Convert Unbelievers or Confirm the faithful: So that millions of these Miracles are seen and not seen; the Priest, and Action, and Accidents are seen, but no Miracle seen by any. So that Aquinas concludeth 3. q. 76. a. 7, [Though Christ be existent in this Sacrament per modum substantiae, yet neither bodily eyes, nor our Intellects can see him, but by faith: no nor the Intellect of an Angel can see him secundum sua naturalia; nor do Devils see him but by faith; nor the blessed, but in the Divine Essence.]
All these make these Miracles far more miraculous than the raising of Lazarus from the dead.
