The Third Ground.
The Third Ground is the Nature of the Sacrament, which consisteth of Three Things; that is, Unity, Nutrition, and Conversion.
The Third Ground is the Nature of the Sacrament, which consisteth of Three Things; that is, Ʋnity, Nutrition, and Conversion.
As touching Unity, Cyprian thus writeth: Even as of many Grains is made one Bread, so are we one mystical Body of Christ. Wherefore Bread must still needs remain, or else we destroy the Nature of a Sacrament.
As touching Ʋnity, Cyprian thus writeth: Even as of many Grains is made one Bread, so are we one mystical Body of Christ. Wherefore Bread must still needs remain, or else we destroy the Nature of a Sacrament.
Also they that take away Nutrition, which cometh by Bread, do take away likewise the Nature of a Sacrament: For as the Body of Christ nourisheth the Soul, even so doth Bread likewise nourish the Body of Man. Therefore they that take away the Grains, or the Union of the Grains in the Bread, and deny the Nutrition, or Substance thereof, in my judgment are Sacramentaries: For they take away the Similitude between the Bread, and the Body of Christ; for they which affirm Transubstantiation, are indeed right Sacramentaries and Capernaites.
