j. Ergo, the substaunce of bread, must needes be in the Sacrament.
And therefore by this demonstration, it is apparent, that these ij. parts in the Article aforesaid, are evil couched together, whereof the one must needs destroy the other. For if the first part of the Article be true, that the natural body of Christ is present in the Sacrament, under the forms of bread and wine, and seeing the Sacrament wherein the body of Christ is present, must needs be the substance of bread and not the accidences only of bread, as is above proved, then the substance of bread can not be evacuated from the Sacrament, and so the second member of the Article must needs be false.
And therfore by this demonstratiō, it is apparant, that these ij. partes in the Article aforesayd, are euil couched together, wherof the one must nedes destroy the other. For if the first part of the Article be true, that the naturall body of Christ is present in the Sacrament, vnder the formes of bread and wine, and seing the Sacrament wherein the body of Christ is present, must nedes be the substance of bread and not the accidences onely of bread, as is aboue proued, then the substance of bread can not be euacuated from the Sacrament, and so the second member of the Article must nedes be false.
