V. The outward Elements in this Sacrament duly set apart to the uses ordained by Christ, have such relation to him crucified, as that truly, yet Sacramentally only, they are sometimes called by the name of the things they represent, to wit, the Body and Blood of Christk: albeit in substance and nature, they still remain, ⟨p. 67⟩truly and only Bread and Wine, as they were beforel.
VI. That Doctrine which maintains a change of the substance of Bread and Wine, into the substance of Christs Body and blood (commonly called Transubstantiation) by Consecration of a Priest, or by any other way, is repugnant, not to Scripture alone, but even to common sense and reason; overthroweth the nature of the Sacrament, & hath been, and is the cause of manifold superstitions; yea, of gross Idolatriesm.
