Rochest. Well, say what you list, it is but a figurative speech, like to this, If you will receive and understand, he is Elijah, for a property, but indeed he was not Elijah, but John the Baptist. And so in this place Christ calleth it his Body, when it was very Bread. But better than the common Bread, because it was sanctified by the Word of Christ.

Langdale. I will prove it by another means. Christ did suffer 1his most glorious passion for us really and substantially; Ergo, He is also in the Sacrament substantially. The Argument is good, because that it is the same here that was there crucified for us; howbeit here invisibly, indeed spiritually and sacramentally, but there visibly, and after a mortal and most bloody manner.

Rochest. Mr. Langdale, your Argument doth well conclude, in case that his Body were here in the Sacrament after such a sort as it was when it was betrayed: But that is not so; for he was betrayed and crucified in his natural body substantially and really in very deed; but in the Sacrament he is not so, but spiritually and figuratively only.
