Pusey well points out {Doctrine of the Real Presence as taught by the Fathers, 79, 80), would have been absolutely crushing. But let it be observed that when Tertullian is trying to prove by the material reality of the eucharistic bread and wine the material reality of our Lord's natural body of flesh 1 De Anima, 17; P. L. 2, 718. 40 THE EUCHARISTIC BODY AND BLOOD and blood, he describes the eucharistic wine as a "memo- rial" of our Lord's natural blood. The natural blood is one thing; the "blo...od" of the Eucharist is another. In like manner, in his book against Marcion, Tertullian twice calls the eucharistic bread a "figure" of our Lord's body natural. His argument is precisely that a real thing, which the eucharistic bread confessedly is, cannot be any proper "figure" of a thing which is not real. The first of these passages runs thus: "For as God revealed in your Gospel, 1 too, calling bread His body, that hence, too, thou mayest at once understand that He gave to bread to be a figure 2 of His body, for whose body the prophet aforetime used bread as a figure, the Lord Himself designing to give an interpretation of this mystery by and by.
