To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

I see the physical body of Christ, wearing the shape of bread ; but it is only because of my infirmity that it 1380] The Decisive Step. 229 seems to be what it is not seems to be wheaten bread when it is actually and really my Lord and God. " To Wyclif, even as a young man, this savoured of idolatry. In vain his friends would assure him that it was no idolatry, but the very sublimity of faith. " I grant, " he began by saying, " that the substance is altered. The ' hoc est corpus . Enables me to... see the body of Christ a spiritual body, seen with spiritual eyes. But what, then, do I see with my physical sight ? I am a realist ; I see a body, with attributes and mathematical dimensions but what body ? No longer a mathematical body, you say, if the consecration has annihilated all the mathemati- cal and physical qualities of wheaten bread ? Then I cannot tell you what the body is, but sure I am that a body is there. To say that it is physically God is idolatry. To say, as some of us do, that what I see and handle are accidents without a sub- ject is only another way of saying that the ' hoc est corpus, ' which made Christ visible to the eye of faith, also made that wheaten bread into something infi- nitely inferior in the scale of nature lower than the peasant's bean-bread, lower than the soil in which the grain of wheat germinated ; for they have substance as well as accidents, but this unhappy phenomenon retains its accidents after losing its substance.
