Cont. Marc. l. 4. c. 40. He is yet plainer, saying [The bread which he took and distributed to his Disciples, that he made his body, saying, This is my body; that is, the FIGURE of my body: But it had not been the Figure of it, if he had not had a true Body. For an empty thing which is a phantasm, can have no Figure; or if he therefore feigned (or made) bread to be his body, because he wanted (or had not) a true body, then it was bread that he must deliver up for us: It made for Marcion's Vanity th•• bread should be Crucified. (All this is to prove against Marcion that Christ had a true body.) But why doth he call bread his body, and not a Pumpion, which Marcion hath instead of a heart, not understanding that this was the old figure of Christ's body, (N. B. had Christ flesh then?) who said by Jeremiah [They have devised a Device against me, saying, Come, let us cast wood upon his bread; that is, the Cross upon his body—so also making his Testament in the mention of the Cup, &c. And that you may know the old figure of his blood in wine, Isaiah saith, &c. so now he consecrated his blood in wine, who then figured wine in blood.]
