 Which can be no other but changing bread and wine into his bodie &amp; bloud, seing him selfe expresly sayeth: This is my bodie, this is my bloud. And though Gods blessing in this place, be also a precept, yet it is not to al men for euer, but for the propagation of mankind, which being long since abundantly propagated, the obligation of the precept ceaseth the cause ceasing. So S. Cyprian, S. Ierome, S. Augustin, and other Fathers expound this place. And confirme the same by the text, for immediatly God signifying to what end he spoke, saith: and replenish the earth. Which benig replenished, Gods wil is therin fulfilled.
