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.

3. The nature of all sacraments is, that the signs be understood and taken corporally, that the things signified must be understood and taken spiritually; and that the visible things be not the things signified, but only signs and pledges of them.
