Ireneus, where he saith, that the bread broken and the cup mixed, after the vocation of God, 1cease to be common bread any more, but are the Eucharist of the body and blood of Christ: and explicating his words more plainly addeth moreover, that the Eucharist consisteth in 2. things, one being earthly, which is bread & wine: the other heavenly: which is the body and blood of Christ. &c. declareth in these words, both his own opinion plainly, & also teacheth us what was then the doctrine of his time.

1Hesichius also who was 500. years after Christ where he speaketh of the said mystery, quòd simul panis & caro est. i. which he saith to be both flesh, and bread, declareth thereby two substances to be in the Sacrament. By the which we have to understand, that transubstantiation in his age was not crept into the Church: and yet neither heresy nor treason therefore was ever laid to his charge for so saying.2
