The opinion which Berengarius sustained touching the Sacrament (as by his own words in Lancfranckes book may appear) was this:1 The sacrifice of the Church consisteth of two things: The one visible: the other invisible, that is, of the Sacrament, and of the thing or matter of the Sacrament. Which thing (which is to mean, the body of Christ) if it were here present before our eyes, it were a thing visible & to be seen: but being lift up into heaven, and sitting on the right hand of his father, to the time of restoring of all thing (as S. Peter sayeth) it can not be called down from thence. For the person of Christ consisteth of God and man: the Sacrament of the Lords table consisteth of bread and wine, which being consecrate are not changed, but remain in their substances, having a certain resemblance or similitude of those things, whereof they be sacraments, &c. Ex Lib. Lancfranci.
