"�0.) Macarius*s words are plain enough: "In the church is oered bread and wine, the ANTITYPE 0' his flesh and blood; and they that partake of the flesh that appears do spiritually eat the flesh of Christ." (11 .) Augustine plainly teaches contrary to the doctrine in question: "If a passage forbid something flagitious, or command something gd, it is not figurative. But if it seem either to command something tious, or to forbid something good, then such passage is Thus, for example, Christ says, U'ress ye ea, &c. In thes words he apparently commands something horrible and flagitious. Therefore, according to the rule I have laid down, the passage is a figure. Hence it must only be interpreted as enjoining us to communicate in the pas- sion of our Lord, and as admonishing us to lay it up sweetly* and use- fully in our memory, because for us his flesh was crucified and wound- ed.'* Augustine brings in our $aviour speaking of this matter as lows: "Christ admitted Judas to that banquet, in which he commended and delivered unto his disciples the figure of his body and blood." Again: "The Lord did not doubt to say, TA/./. my body, when he gave the sxos of his 5ody."11 "You are not about to eat this bo which you see, nor to drink that blood which they shall shed who shall crucify me. I have recommended to you a certain sacrament, which, if spiritually understood, shall quicken you.'*�12.)

Gregury Nazianzen speaks as expressly on this subject as if he had undertaken to conlute the doctrine of Trent: "Now we shall be partakers of the paschal supper, but still in a figure, though more clear than in the old law.
