Fa. Is the Bread and Wine in the Lord's Supper, after they are Blessed, the real Body and Blood of Christ?
Son. No, they are but Signs or Figures of his Body.
Fa. But doth not Christ say, This •s my Body?
Son. 'Tis a Figurative Speech; he says also in another Place, I am a Vine, a Door, a Way, &c. He is called, a Rock, 'tis said that Rock is Christ, 1▪ Cor. 10.4. Which Scriptures, are all to be taken figuratively; This is my Body, 'tis as if he should say, this is a Sign or Figure of my Body, for 'tis called Bread before it was Blessed, and also after it was Blessed; and 'tis called Bread, which the Disciples did eat, 1 Cor. 11.26. The Bread which we bless, is it not the Communion of the Body of Christ? &c. ⟨p. 98⟩
