THE ARGVMENT.

Transubstantiation of breade and wine in the vse of the supper disprooued, and the true exposition and meaning of these words: Bread is the body of Christ.

What then, are bread and wine made the very body & blood of Christ

No truelie: But as the water of baptisme is not turned into the blood of Christ, neither is the verie washing away of sinnes, but only a token and pledge of those things which are sealed vnto vs in Baptisme: No more is the bread of the Lords Supper the verie bodie ofa Christ: although after the nature of Sacraments, and theb maner of speach which the holy Ghost vseth in speaking of these thinges, the bread is called the body of Christ.c
