2. That Austin said [that Christ gave us his very Flesh to be eaten to our Salvation; but no body eateth that Flesh, unless he have first adored it.] Answ. Any Protestant will say the same. For Christ himself hath said, Except ye eat the Flesh of the Son of Man, and drink his Blood, ye have no life in you. Do not your own sacrilegious Popes and Clergy expound this of something else than the Eucharist? when they deny the Cup to the People? If it ⟨p. 49⟩be that Wine Consecrated that is here meant, what bloody wretches are you to damn all your Peoples Souls, by denying them all that Blood of Christ, without drinking which they have no life? But it's certain by 1 Cor. 15. that Christ hath not Flesh and Blood in Heaven, and therefore it is not the Heavenly Body, that, as such, is here meant; but the true sense of Christ and Austin is, that as the Sacrifices are eaten by such, by, and for whom they are offered; so his Flesh and Blood offered on the Cross is the true Sacrifice for Sin, which must be eaten in its Commemorative Representation orally in the Sacrament, and really in it self by Faith, that the benefits of that Sacrifice may be ours. And who doth not adore that Christ whom we thus eat and live upon? This is the sum of all that the Fathers say.
But let the Reader judge of Austin's mind by plainer words, De Doctr. Christ. cap. 7. [Let no Man look to what they are (mentioning the Bread and Wine) but to what they signify: For our Lord was pleased to say, This is my Body when he gave the sign of his Body.]
