In all these sums of doctrine above recited. Luther and Zuinglius did consent and agree. Neither were their opinions so different in the matter of the Lords Supper, but that in the principal points they accorded. For if the question be asked of them both, what is the material substance of the Sacrament, which our outward senses do behold and feel: they will both confess bread, and not the accidents only of bread. Further if the question be asked whether Christ be there present:1 they will both confess his true presence to be there, only in the manner of presence they differ. Again, ask whether the material substance laid before our eyes in the Sacrament, is to be worshipped: they will both deny it, and judge it Idolatry. And likewise for transubstantiation, and for the sacrifice of the Mass, they both do abhor, and do deny the same: As also the Communion to be in both kinds administered, they do both assent and grant.
