Chapter xvi.
Of the difference and distinction that the Romaine doctors do make in thapplicatiō of the sacramental words of the sacraments, aswell concerning the signs of them, as the persons which are capable thereof: and of the foundation of their transubstantiation which they ground upon the same.
Of the differēce and distinction that the Romaine doctors do make in thapplicatiō of the sacramental wordes of the sacramēts, aswel concerning the signes of them, as the persons which are capable thereof: and of the foundation of their transsubstanciation which they ground vpon the same.
•Eing then that it is so, it is easy to judge, how foolish and full of filthy ignorance, the distinction ⟨image 18⟩and the difference that the Romaine do• tors do make between Baptism and the su• per, and their other sacraments, is, touching t• applying of the words and of the signs […] them. For they say that in baptism the sacramental words are addressed to the person which they baptize, Note. and not at all to the matt of baptism, to wit, to the water which is th sign thereof, but it is contrary in the suppe forsomuch as the sacramental words are addressed to the matter thereof, to wit, to the brea and to the wine which are the signs, and n at all to the persons: from whence they do conclude the conversion of the bread and of th wine into the body and blood of Jesus Chri according to their doctrine of transsubstanci tion. By mean whereof they do affirm, tha for that cause, the bread and the wine consecr ted after their manner, are no more bread an wine, but are the very body and blood of I sus Christ, and the holy Sacrament of th altar and of the supper of the Lord, yea eve out of the action and use of the sacrament: Th which thing they dare not affirm of the w ter of the baptism.
