SOME reasoning also they had, whether evil men did receive Christ's body, Bradford denying, and Pendleton affirming. Mr. Bradford said, that they received not the spirit: Ergo, not the body; for it is no dead carcass. Hereto Mr. Bradford brought also St. Augustine, how Judas received "the bread of the Lord," and not "bread the Lord," and that he must be in Christ's body, which must receive the body of Christ. Pendleton went about to put it away with Idem, and not Ad idem, and how that In Corpore Christi was to be understood of all that are in the visible church of God's elect. Mr. Bradford denied this to be St. Augustine's meaning, and said also that the allegation of Idem, and not Ad idem, could not make for that purpose. They talked more of transubstantiation, Pendleton quoting Cyprian, The nature of bread is changed, &c. And Mr. Bradford said, that in that place, nature did not signify substance. As the nature of an herb is not the substance of it; so the bread changed in nature is not to be taken for changed in substance: for now it is ordained not for food of the body simply, but rather for the soul. Here also Bradford alleged the opinion of Gelasius. Pendleton said, he was a pope. Yes, said Bradford, but his faith was my faith in the sacrament, if you would receive it.
