[The Bread which he took and distributed to his Disciples he made his body, saying, This is my Body; that is, The figure of my body. — And what he would have Bread then signify, he sufficiently declared, calling Bread his Body.] ⟨p. 141⟩And it is a notable passage of Tertullians against the Academics that questioned sense, lib. de anim. c. 17. [What dost thou, O procacious Academic? Thou overthrowest the whole state of life: Thou disturbest the whole order of nature; Thou blindest the providence of God himself; as if he had made mens lying and deceitful senses to be the Lords, in understanding, honouring, dispensing and enjoying all his works▪ Is not the whole Condition (of man) subadministred by these.] And after [We may not call those senses into question, lest Christ himself must deliberate of their certainty (or must distrust them). Lest it may be said, that he falsely saw Satan cast down from Heaven, or falsely heard the voice of his Father testifying of him; or was deceived when he touched Peters Wives Mother — or perceived not a true taste of the Wine which he Consecrated in the memorial of his blood.] Many such places are in Tertullian. 4. Origen is large and plain to the same purpose in Matth. 25. calling it [Bread and a Typical and Symbolical Body, which profiteth none but the worthy receivers, and that according to the proportion of their faith, and which no wicked man doth eat, &c.] Many more such places Albertinus vindicateth. 5.

[Celebrating daily the memorial of the body and blood of Christ] — [Seeing then we receive the memorial of this Sacrifice to be perfected on the Table, by the symbols ⟨p. 142⟩of his body and most precious blood—] And l. 8. [He delivered to us to use, Bread as the symbol of his own body.] 7. Athanasius's words are recited by Albertinus l. 2. p. 400, 401, &c. 8. Basil. de Spir. Sanct. saith, [Which of the Saints hath left us in Writing the words of invocation, when the Bread of the Eucharist, and the Cup of blessing are showed?] 9. Ephrem (in Biblioth.
