Augustine is in this matter so full and plain, and of that authority, that it should not need after this his declaration, being so firmly grounded upon Gods word, and so well agreeing with the other ancient Authors, to bring in for the confirmation of this matter any moe: and yet I said, I would allege three of the Latin Church, to testify the trueth in this cause. Now therefore the last of all shall be Gelasius, which was a Bishop of Rome, but one that was Bishop of that See before the wicked usurpation and tyranny thereof spread and burst out abroad into all the world. For this man was before Bonifacius, yea and Gregory the first: in whose days both corruption of doctrine and tyrannical usurpation did chee fly grow, and had the upper hand.

Gelasius in an Epistle of the two natures of Christ, Contra Eutichen, 1writeth thus: The Sacraments of the body and blood of Christ, which we receive, are godly things whereby and by the same we are made partakers of the divine nature, and yet nevertheless the substance or nature of the bread and wine doth not depart nor go away.
