The THIRD ARGUMENT.
AS the bread of the Lord's table is Christ's natural body, so is his mystical body.
BUT it is not Christ's mystical body by transubstantiation.
ERGO, It is not his natural body by transubstantiation.
THE second part of my argument is plain, and the first is proved thus: As Christ who is the verity, spake of the bread, "This is my body which shall be betrayed for you," speaking there of his natural body: even so Paul, moved with the same Spirit of truth, said, "We though we be many, yet are we all one bread, and one body, which be partakers of one bread."
