The presence is noted by these words of the Article where is said, that in the blessed Sacrament, by the words pronounced, is present the natural body and blood of our ⟨p. 1137⟩Saviour, under the forms of bread and wine: so that in these words, both the sacrament, & the natural body is imported necessarily to be present. For else, how can the natural body of Christ be present in the Sacrament under the forms of bread and wine,1 if the Sacrament there were not present it self? or how can a thing be said to be in that, which is not there? Wherefore, by these words, both the Sacrament and also the body must necessarily have their being and presence, the one being in the other. And this presence both of the Sacrament, and of the body, being rightly taken, may right well stand together, the Sacrament to the outward eyes and mouth of man, the body of Christ to the inward eyes of faith and mouth of the soul.
