A brief declaration of the Lords Supper, writtenA brief declaracion of the Lordes Supper, written

Duns sayeth in these words of Christ, This is my body, this pronoun demonstrative, meaning the word (this) if ye will know, what it doth show or demonstrate, whether the bread that Christ toke or no: he answereth no, but only one thing in substance it pointeth, whereof the nature or name it doth not tell, but leaveth that to be determined and told by that which followeth the word (is) that is by Praedicatum, as the logician doth speak: and therefore he calleth this pronoun demonstrative (This) Individuum Vagum, that is, a wan dring proper name, whereby we may point out and show any one thing in substance, what thing so ever it be. That this imagination is vain and untruly applied unto these words of Christ, This is my body: it may appear plainly in the words of Luke and Paul, said upon the cup, conferred with the form of words spoken upon the cup in Matthew and Mark. For as upon the bread it is said of all, ⟨image 22⟩This is my body: so of Matthew and Mark it is said of the cup, This is my blood. Than if in the words, This is my body, the word (this) be (as Duns calleth it) a wandering name, to appoint and show forth any one thing, whereof the name and nature it doth not tell: so must it be likewise in those words of Matthew and Mark upon the Lords cup, This is my blood. But in the words of Matthew and Mark, it signifieth and pointeth out the same, that it doth in the Lords words upon the cup in Luke and Paul, where it is said This cup is the new testament in my blood. &c. Therefore in Matthew & Mark the pronoun demonstrative (this) doth not wander to point only one thing in substance, not showing what it is, but telleth it plainly what it is, no less in Matthew and Mark unto the eye, than is done in Luke and Paul, by putting to this word (cup) both unto the eye, and unto the ear. For taking the cup and demonstrating or showing it unto his disciples, by this pronoun demonstrative (this) and saying unto them, Drink ye all of this: it was than all one to say. This ⟨image 22⟩is my blood, as to say: This cup is my blood, meaning by the cup as the nature of the speech doth require, the thing contained in the cup. So likewise without all doubt, when Christ had taken bread, given thanks, and broken it, and giving it to his disciples said, Take:

Duns sayeth in these wordes of Christ, This is my body, this pronowne demonstratyue, meanyng the worde (this) if ye will knowe, what it dothe shewe or demonstrate, whether ye bread that Christ toke or no: he answereth no, but only one thing in substaunce it poynteth, wherof the nature or name it dothe not tell, but leaueth that to be determyned and tolde by that which foloweth ye worde (is) that is by Praedicatum, as the logician dothe speake: and therfore he calleth this pronowne demonstratiue (This) Indiuiduum Vagum, that is, a wā dring propre name, wherby we maye poynt out and shewe any one thing in substaunce, what thing so euer it be. That this ymaginacion is vayne and vntruly applyed vnto these wordes of Christ, This is my body: it may appeare plainly in ye wordes of Luke and Paule, sayed vpon the cuppe, cō ferred with ye forme of wordes spokē vpō ye cuppe in Mathewe and Marke. For as vpō the bread it is sayed of al,
