Theodoret in Dialog. de Immutab. against an Eutychian, who pleaded, that Bread in the Eucharist was turned into Christs Body, saith, [The Lord who called that meat and bread, which naturally was his body, and who again called himself a Vine, did honour the Visible Signs with the Names of his Body and Blood; not having changed their Nature, but added Grace to Nature.] Can any Protestant speak plainer than this?
And Dial. 2. [The Divine Mysteries are Signs of the true Body.
And further, answering the Eutychian, he saith, [By the Net which thou hast made art thou taken: For even after the Consecration the mystical Signs change not their Nature, for they remain in all their first SUBSTANCE, Figure, and Form, and are visible, and to be handled as before.] This is not plain enough for a Papist.
Nor Gelasius cont. Nestor. & Eutych. [Verily the Sacrament of the body and blood of Christ which we take is a ⟨p. 61⟩Divine thing, for which and by which we are made partakers of the Divine Nature; and yet it ceaseth not to be the SUBSTANCE and NATURE of bread and wine: And certainly the Image and similitude of the Body and Blood of Christ are celebrated in the action of the Mysteries.] O dark sayings!
