Bertramus likewise, as he lived in the same age, so in like sort he showed his opinion therein, to the like effect as Haymo did. For as Haymo writing in these words declareth, quia aliud est Sacramentum, aliud virtus sacramenti: sacramentum enimuero percipitur, virtute Sacramenti interior homo satiatur, 1that is: the sacrament is one thing, and the virtue of the sacrament is an other thing: for the sacrament is received with the mouth, but with the virtue of the Sacrament, the inward man is satisfied.

So after like manner, Bertramus according to the same, thus writeth: Ille panis, qui per Sacerdotis ministerium Christi corpus efficitur, aliud exterius humanis sensibus ostendit, & aliud interius fidelium mentibus clamat. &c. That is: the bread, which by the ministry of the priest is made the body of christ doth import one thing outwardly to the senses of man,1 & an other thing it speaketh to the minds of the faithful. Outwardly it is bread, the same as was before, the same form is pretended, the colour appeareth, the same taste remaineth. But inwardly there is an other matter fare more precious, and more excellent, because it is heavenly, which is the body of Christ, that is scene, not with the outward eyes of the flesh, but with the sight of a faithful mind. &c.
