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.

III. The nutritive use of the bread and wine was another part of the sign, as all confess: As bread and wine are the Nutriment of the body and life of man, so is Christ crucified meritoriously, and Christ glorified efficiently, the life of the soul. And he that denieth the Nutritive sign, denieth the Sacrament: But it is not the false appearance, or phantasm, or accidents of bread and wine, that are the natural nourishers of man: Therefore he that denieth the nourishing substance, denieth the Real sensible Sacramental sign.
