Arg. 1. It is evident both unto sense and reason, that the Bread after consecration remaineth Bread as it was before. 1. It is evident unto sense, the quantity or bigness of bread remaineth, the figure of bread remaineth, the locality or place of bread remaineth; the colour, tast, and smell of bread remaineth, and nothing in the World is more evident unto sense, than the bread in the Sacrament, no alteration in the least unto sense being made by its consecration. 2. It is evident unto reason, that the bread cannot be turned into another substance, and the accidents not be at all changed or altered; when our Saviour turned water into wine, the water, as it lost its substance, so also it lost its colour, tast, smell and other accidents, and the wine made of water had the colour, tast and smell of wine, as well as the substance of wine; but in the Sacrament, there is no other colour, tast, figure, or any accident but of bread, and therefore in reason there is no other substance but of bread: In the Sacrament we must either cloath the body of Christ with the accidents of bread, and say that his Body is of such a figure, taste and colour as the Bread is, which would render him ill-favoured, ill-shapen, and debase his body (so glorious now in heaven) into the likeness of bread, which is such an absurd blasphemy that none will affirm; or else, if the accidents of bread cannot be attributed unto Christs body, and yet the substance of bread be gone, and the substance of Christs body come into its room; then the accidents of bread do exist without a subject, which is most absurd and contradictory unto reason; we perceive by our senses such a colour, taste and figure, it cannot be the body of Christ that is of such a colour, taste and figure; and if there be no other substance in the room that hath these accidents; hence then it follows, that it is nothing which hath this colour, taste and figure, and that in the Sacrament there is a white nothing, a sweet nothing, a loaf of nothing, a piece of nothing, which is a ridiculous absurdity; nothing is more evident unto reason than that the substance of the bread remaineth unchanged, whilst the accidents remain unchanged. Arg. 2. If the bread in this Sacrament be turned into the real Body of Christ, then either there are so many bodies of Christ as there are pieces of bread eaten in all Sacraments, or else they are all one and the same body. 1. It cannot be that there should be so many bodies of Christ as there are pieces of bread eaten in all Sacraments, because, first Christ would then be a Monster with many thousands, yea, millions of bodies. Secondly, It would lie in the power of any Minister to make as many bodies of Christ as he pleased, or that God should be bound to work a miracle every time the bread is consecrated. Thirdly, This cannot consist with Christs unity. Fourthly, none of Christs bodies, but one, would be the body which was born of the Virgin Mary, and that died upon the Cross. Fifthly, all these bodies, but the one he hath in heaven, would be without a soul, & so altogether insufficient to save the soul, or to confer any spiritual life or grace by the feeding upon them in this Sacrament; therefore it cannot be that there should be so many bodies of Christ as there are pieces of bread eaten in all Sacraments. 2. Neither can it be one and the same body of Christ which the bread in the Sacrament is turned into, for then it would follow, First, That Christs body is both visible & invisible, visible in Heaven & invisible in the Sacrament. 2. That one and the same body of Christ is present in divers places at the same time, in heaven & in divers places of the earth; & to say that one & the same body which is circumscribed by one place, is at the same time present in a thousand other places, is abhorrent unto all reason, and it is in effect to say, it is where it is not, and it is not where it is; which is an absurd contradiction. If Christs body be in heaven, it is not in the Sacrament: if it be in the Sacrament, it is not in heaven. Christs body is not divided, and so by parts in one place and in another at the same time; neither is Christs body infinite and so present in divers places together as God is present; for then his body would cease to be a body; therefore Christs body canot be in divers places together, therefore being in heaven, it is not present in the Sacrament. Arg. 3. If the bread in the Sacrament be turned in the real body of Christ, then after the eating of it, either it returneth to heaven which it cannot do, because it is there already; or else it remaineth with them that eat it; and if so, then Christs body in part would be turned into the substance of our bodies, and if we are wicked, when these same bodies are raised, it would be tormented for ever in hell; part also of Christs body would go into the draught & be subject to corruption; either of which to affirm is most horridly blasphemous, therefore the Popish tenent of Transubstantiation is to be abominated by all Christians. Arg. 4. If the bread in this Sacrament were turned into the real body of Christ, both the nature and end of the Sacrament would be destroyed; the nature of the Sacrament is to be a sign, the end of it is to be a remembrance of Christ; both which suppose Christs body to be absent, which this Sacrament is a sign and remembrance of, whereas, if the bread were turned into Christs body it would be present.
