A brief declaration of the Lords Supper with some other determinations and disputations concerning…

Rid. Moreover, there is ambiguity in this word Really, whether it be taken as the Logicians term it transcendenter, that is, most generally, and so it may signify any manner of thing, which belongeth to the Body of Christ by any means; after which sort we also grant Christ's Body to be really in the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper, (as in Disputation, if occasion be given, shall be declared) or whether it be taken to signify the very same thing, having Body, Life, and Soul, which was assumed and taken of the Word of God, into the Unity of Person. In which sense, sith the Body of Christ is really in Heaven, because of the true manner of his Body, it may not be said to be here in the earth. There is yet a further doubtfulness in these words under the forms of Bread and Wine, whether the forms be there taken to signify the only accidental and outward shows of Bread and Wine; or there withal the substantial Natures thereof, which are to be seen by their qualities, and perceived by exterior senses. Now the Error and Falseness of the Proposition after the sense of the Roman Church and Schoolmen, may hereby appear, in that they affirm the Bread to be Transubstantiated, and changed to the Flesh assumed of the Word of God; and that, as they say, by virtue of the Word, which they have devised by a certain number of words, and cannot be found in any of the Evangelists, or in S Paul; and so they gather that Christ's Body is really contained in the Sacrament of the Altar: Which Position is grounded upon the Foundation of the Transubstantiation; which Foundation is monstrous, against Reason, and destroyeth the Analogy or Proportion of the Sacraments; and therefore this Proposition also, which is built upon this rotten Foundation, is false, erroneous, and to be counted as a detestable Heresy of the Sacramentaries.
