3. And they cannot, they dare not say, that Christs ⟨p. 130⟩Real Flesh and Blood, is the Sacramental sign: For, 1. It is not sensible; 2. It should be then the sign of it self: The sign and the thing signified cannot be the same.
II. The very substantiality or corporeity of the Bread and Wine as such, is part of the sign: As Christ saith, Behold and handle me, a spirit hath not flesh and blood, as ye see me have: So he taketh Corporeal bread and wine in their sight, and breaketh it, and poureth it out, and giveth it them to see, to feel, to taste, to eat, that they may know it is true bread and wine, the signs of his True Body and Blood. So that to deny the Corporeity is to deny Christs Corporeity in its signs; and tendeth to the old Heresy of them that held that Christ had but a fantastical body, or was not indeed Crucified, but seemed so to be: They teach Heretics to argue, The sign was no Real substance: Therefore neither the thing signified.
