To this truth Mark also bears testimony in er XIVe, saying: "While they vere eating, Josue took and blessed it and brake it and gave it to thers said/Takeythis is my body". With these statements . agrees in chapter XXII.,saying: "when He had taken bread,ie gave thanks and brake it and gave it ta nen and saidsThis is my body which is given for you; 8 do in Temambrance of me", In shapter VTe§sonny he Evangelist,also records the words of the Feiehoste He points ont the resl nature and the benefit of at sacrament: "The preadswhich I shall give to you he life of the vorld,is my flesh",and then follows: mt ye eat the flesh of the Son of Man,and drink at oe ck a blood, ye have no life in youe He who eateth wy h and drinketh my bloodshath eternal Lively Paul ke similiarly in t.corinthians XI.:"The Lord Jesus?

Of this numberythe blessed Augustine affiras voted in I. Quaestione Te, *Intra eoclesiam™:"Vithin Catholic churenh",he says, "no greater benefit is erred by a good priest and no less benefit by 6 vriest,in the wystery of the body and blood of Lord. * Likewies the blessed Cyprian, the Sishop, of the Lord and His Passion,ve do that h it is yell know that the Lord did." Likewise ose affirme as quoted in De gonsecratione, Dis: tion TI. ¢Ante penedictionen": "Sefore the blessing lifferent isoelen is indicated, efter the blessing body is designated, §nrist is in that sacrament." cewise John affiras as quoted in De goneecrationes inetion IT,, "Nee Moyses": "Moses", ho says, "did not you the true bread, but the Lord Jesus is guest ed Gregory affirms as quoted in Te», i. tion Te, "Multi"; "We",he says, "desecrate the preads | at ie,the body of Chriet when we approach the altar yorthily." Prom these and numerous other passages, § @learly shown that the body of Christ is really ained under the species of breadjand beesuse that ment was clear to ell the faithful from the com - cement of the christian faith; therefore, Bi ence to the confirmation of this statement 1 do wish to delay longer.

a : a: Be es | dopa toas Pat: %: Re; 3 eae a yy eeae | Chapter ITIte The substance of the bread is; converted into the body of Christ.

ithough it is expressly set forth in the eanonical rintures,that the body of Christ is to be offered the faithful wider the species of bread,yet that substance of the bread is really converted or nssubstantiated into the body of Christ is not ad expressed in the eanon of the Bible;but this trine isc believed to have been divinely revealed the oly Fathers,or by a diligent and ekilfuleiix tion to have been proved by passages of the ‘Bible; stherefore,t shall cite vasseages of the Holy Patheors » prove thet truth. Of which number Eusebius Fad semis fates es quoted in De consecratione Distinetion II., "Onia corpus"; "The invisibile Priest converts ohe nefits the vower of the divine blessing oroduces; j 1 it ought not to be strange or impossible to you et earthly and mortal o obiects are converted into © substance of Christ.* Likerise Ambrose states as ted in De Consecratione Distinetion Tl, "Panis": "If? ays, "there is so much pover in the Word of the that that,which vas nét,began to exist;how much ) opperative is it that those thinge may exist ch existed,end be changed into something else;and rhich was pread vefore eonsecration,is now body of Christ after conseoration. Likewise on Summa Trinitate et Fide Catholica, "Firmiter®", rhere ocent TIT. says in a general council: "There is one versal ohurah of believers,cutside of which no one all is saved. In whieh Jesus Christ Himself is toth ost and sacrifice,vhose body and blood is truly tained in the saerament of the altar under the gies of bread and wines since the bread has been ssubstantiated into the body and the wine into the food by divine pover." Likewise on the De Celebraticne issarum, "Sum Marthae": "If, therefore,sHe lifted His to the Pather st the time when He celled the of Lazarus back to the lifeless body,it seems more able that He lifted His eyes toward heaven to the er when He speciglly changed the bread and wine o body and plood. * From these and very many other ages of the Salnts and the Doctors,it is estab- ead that the substances of the bread is really and y transsubstantiated, converted,or thanged ty the vine virtue into the substance of the body of christ, st without an increase or substantial transmutation the body of Christ.

Shapter IV.

“fhe substance ef the bread is gonverted into the body of Christ, ae not into the divinity,or the soul, gveotirer-haiy,or the bloocd,or into anv accident of the substance.:; Agcording to a proper application of terms,the pre- ously mentioned conversion or transsubstantiation the vread into the soul,or. the divinity,or the oa of Ph ara ae into any acoiaent of the substangve the body of Christ, deenot: to the body of Christ. Hovever, by putting an isproper loose sonstruetion upon this term, conversion or hssubetantiation,it might be conceded that the ed is transsubstantiated into the soul,or, the blood, njecolaent of the body of Shrist. For the tors sy the authorities,are convineed that the subee of bread is not converted into the soul,or the dnity of Christ;from which source a gloss on be secratione Distinction II.on the chapter, "Quid est istwm mandueare?", says: "The bread is gonverted into ) flesh alone and the wine into the blood." Likewise Magister Sententiarun in Book IV.,Distinetion,XxT.: hough", he seye,"the entire christ is assumed under ecies",*yet no conversion of the bread except flesh,or of wine extept into blood,takes place."

these passages it is @lear that the substance of i “pread, from which it is converted into flesh alone, not transsubstantiated into the divinity,or the ional soul,or the ploodsorsas & sonbeqiente, lito aeoident af the flesh,or the soul;but this state- inly true according to a prover use of Ming convertitur. Fron thésestatanent it iwuat be ceived that the substance of the bread is converted “transsubstantiated into that which does not exist, ause it is joined to something else;but,even if it on separated from other thinge,it begins to exby divine cower under the svecies of the bread at ith the obligatory intention,over the proper material.

hetcie the flesh of Christ,not the ul,or the hlood,or other aecident inhering in the sh or the soul; for if the soul vere separarted from — fleshyno matter hoy much the priest might with ention tecite the sadramentsl words over the proper erial,the soul of Christ would not begin to exist re gbut only the flesh. Likevise,if the blood vere arated from the flesh,the blood vould not begin to ist there but only the flesh. And the judgment is same with respect to other aceidonts af the flesh the soul. And for tis reason the Doctors affirm t the body of Christ exists by virtue of the sacra- tal words through the vover of conversion under ; species of bread,and for which reason the substance bread is converted into the body of cChrist,and tee into the pois oF into the deity. Tf yhoweiter any hes to use the tevin, conversion or trans: substan~ tion, somernat inappropriate het he may affirm + the substance of the bread is converted into all et vhich at the utteranes of the sacramental words gins now really to exist umier the srecies of pread, eush s use of the term he @an concede that the subg 100 of the bread is ¢onverted into the reasonable \ of Christ;that is to say,thet at the utterance or sacramental words the verasonable soul hegins to exe ‘under the species of pread. If,yhowever,the sacre- 1 words had been uttered with the obligatory in- on during the period of the three days of death, easonable soul vould not have existed theres be~ it wae then separated from the body of Shrist which it is now united.

se nononEreebesdored, that that consion or trenssubstantiation is not.accomplisnhed this manner, that the body of shrist begins to exist er the species of bread though the substance ite f remains, but in such a vay that the very substance the bread is converted into the body of dhrist,so , the stthetance of the bread does not remain by he of the divine virtue,but the body of Christ reo- ns only under the accidents which were in the sub- nee of the bread before conversion,syet it is not ected by thoce deciaenke ac will be shown later. ver,it wust be noted that, elthough itgis found arly expressed in the Noy Testament that the body hrist is to be recived by the faithful under the ies of breed in memory of the Lord's Passion and the remission of their sinsivet it is not there tly axprassed thet the substance of the bread does remain. For this reason from sneient times ‘thers been diverse ovinions vith respect to this point; stete the Magister Sententiarwm in Book TV., Dis- tion XI,and Hostiensis on the top of the page on onsecrations,snd the gloss on De consesoratione, Madcon Tl.,"tn sacramentorum",and the gloss on erratione Missarun, "cum Marthae."*® Yhieh sourecs i ert that there vere three opinione concerning the version of the bread into the body of christs "One nion asserts that that substance, rhich was at first and the © deases to exist there and the aecidents only re- nynemely, taste, color, veight and resenblence;and er these accidents the body of Christ begins to ex there. The third ovinion holds,that the substance the bread and the wine remain there,and the body of iS ict exists in the seme plac settunder the seme specics. " aes noctors mentioned before approve the second opinion, it seems to be the conclusion of the Rowan churehe h respect to which on De Suma Trinitate et Fide holica,"Firmiter", Tnnosent says in a general eonneil: re is one universal shurch of all bellevers,oute saved?
