For the Lord himself did not stick to say. This is my body, when 1he gave the sign of his body. For we must not consider in Sacraments, saith S. Augustine in an other […], what they be; but what they do signify, or they be signs of things, being one thing in themselves, and yet signifying an nother thing.
