No;1 they are not changed in nature, but in use, 1 Cor. 10. 16. For the words of eating and drinking do properly belong to the outward elements of bread and wine, and by a borrowed speech do improperly belong to the body and blood of Christ, to note unto us the communion we have with our Saviour Christ, of whom we are as verily partakers by a lively faith, as of the bread and wine, by eating and drinking them: And thus we say, that these elements are changed in use; because being separated ⟨p. 425⟩from a common use, they are consecrate to sign and seal to us our spiritual nourishment and growth by the body and blood of Christ Jesus, Luke 22. 19. 1 Cor. 10 3, 4. For as the Sacrament of Baptism doth seal to us a spiritual regeneration; so the Lords Supper a spiritual feeding; and even as well the body and blood of Christ is in Baptism given us for clothing, as they are given in the Lords Supper for nourishment: Therefore the bread and wine are not the true body and blood of Christ, but the signs and tokens of them, as in Baptism the water was only a sign of Christs blood, not the blood.
