"THE second from a passage out of Origen, who, speaking of this sacrament, saith, that the material part thereof goeth down to the excrements.
"THE third is out of Theodoret, who, speaking of the sacramental elements, after consecration, affirmeth, that they go not out of their former substance, form, and shape. These, among several others, are the doubts I require to be resolved."
THEN the prolocutor having appointed Dr. Moreman to answer, he began with observing, that the sacrament is called by St. Paul bread indeed, by which he meant the form of bread; but Mr. Cheyney alleged, that Hesychius called the sacrament both bread and flesh.

YES, replied Moreman, Hesychius calleth it bread, because it was bread, not because it is so. Then, passing over Origen, he said, that men, mistook the authority of Theodoret, by interpreting a general into a special, as Peter Martyr had done, taking a Greek word, that signifies substance in its special signification, whereas, in the general, it may be applied to accidents, as well as substance; and therefore (said he) I answer Theodoret thus, that sacramental bread and wine do not go out of their former substance, form, and shape, that is, not out of their accidental substance and shape.
