Extracts from Bishop Poynets Diallaction.
I Will so divide the question, that it may be briefly reduced to three heads. First, I will show that the true Body of Christ is given to the Faithful in the Sacrament; and that the words Nature and Substance, are not to be rejected, but that the Ancients treating of this Sacrament did use them. In the next place, I will show that there is a difference between the proper Body of Christ, and that which is present in the Sacrament, and that the Ancient Fathers thought so. Lastly, I will show, what manner of Body this is, which is received in this Mystery, ⟨p. 62⟩and why it is called by that Name, according to the Doctrine of the saint Fathers.
