2. The second sort of arguments which are taken from the nature of the Sacraments.
1. The very manner and form of speaking yieldeth us a firm and strong argument. Bread is the body of Christ: But bread is not in his own proper substance his body (for by reason hereof have they invented Transubstantiation and Consubstantiation): Therefore it is a figurative speech, even such a one as is usual unto sacraments, and is afore declared in the institution of the Supper.

2. In all sacraments, when the name or properties of the things signified are attributed unto the signs, there is not signified the corporal presence of the thing in the signs; but first, a similitude of the things with their signs, and a sealing of them by their signs; then a conjunction and union of the things with their signs in the right use: But in this Sacrament Christ attributeth the names of the things signified (his body and blood) to the signs (the bread and wine) saying, This is my body: This is my blood: Therefore there is not thereby signified a corporal presence of his body.
