That the substance of the Bread and Wine is not turned into the substance of the flesh and blood of Christ, is proved.
I. Because the Glorified Body of Christ is not formally and properly Flesh and Blood: Though it be the s•me Body which was Flesh and Blood. The Apostle Paul saith, 1 Cor. 15.50, 51. [Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the Kingdom of God, nor doth corruption inherit incorruption; Behold, I show you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed.] It is not only Dr. Hammond, but other of the best expositors who show that by Flesh and blood and corruption here is not meant sin, but flesh and blood formally considered; which is ever corruptible: And the Papists commonly confess this. If therefore it be flesh and blood which the bread and wine are turned into, then either Christ hath two bodies, or two parts of one, which are utterly heterogeneal, one flesh and blood, and the other not; one corruptible and the other incorruptible.
