St. Chryſoftom ſpeaks to the ſame purpoſe in theſe 
in 1 Cor, cap, 10. words, What is that which the Bread ſignifies? the 
Body of Chriſt, ,you ſee, he calls it Br:ad, and ſays it 
ſignifieth the body of Chriſt. And'in. another place 
Chryſ. & Cxſar. Monach, he ſays, That after Conſecration the Bread 1s wor-

I might quote St. Cyprian, St. Baſil, St. Hierom, Hillary, Fuigentixs, Tſidore, 
Heſychius, and many others of note who lived within 8co years of Chriſt ;

may add the Suffrage of a whole Cound held at Conſteniinople, Anno 75 4.

Up2n the whole matter then, you ſee what the Primitive Fathers of the - 
_ Chrittian Church have believed and taught for above feven hundred years after 
Chriſt ; They held that the Bread and Wine in the Sacrament remain what they 
were before Conſecration, that, that whichis ſcen-on the Holy Table is Bread, - 
that the ſubſtance of Bread and Wine does not ceaſe to be, that the Elements 
are Types, Symbols, . and Figures;of Chriſts Body and Blood, and if they ſay - 
true, *tis evident then that the Dodtrin of Tranſubſtantiation is anew inven- 
tion, not{o much as broacht gill -bove ſeven hundred years after Chriſt; *. 2, If 
this be the uninterrupted Dotiue of the Primitive Fathers which I-have now 
7 alledged, then this ought to caution you andall others againſt the Rhetorical Ex- 

wellons of ſome of theſe Fathers I now have Quoted, whereby: they- call the 
Sacrament the Body and Blood of Chriſt, for we believe it is ſo; but then 
the Queſtion is, after what manner it is ſo; whether aſter the manner of the 
Fleſh, or afterthe mannerof Spiritual Grace, and Sacramental Conſequence ; _ 
We of the Reformed Churches of theſe, Natiqns, withthe Primitive Fathers,
