## Commentary on Distinction XI
### Part II.

*On the matter in which the confection of the Eucharist must take place.*

**But under another species he handed over his flesh and blood for three reasons, etc.**

> FOR THE TEXT OF THE MASTER SEE ABOVE, PAGE 239.

### Division of the text.

Above the Master treated of the confection as regards the transubstantiation or conversion; here he treats, second, of the species or substance in which such a confection ought to take place. And this part has two parts. In the first he determines in what species or substance the Church ought now to confect. In the second he shows that it was so in the first confection, which was at the Supper, there: *It is also gathered from the foregoing, that Christ* etc., where he shows in what substances he confected and what kind of body he gave to the disciples.

The first part has three parts. In the first he shows why that Sacrament, that is, the body of Christ, is given under another species. In the second, why under a twofold species, there: *But why is it taken under a twofold species* etc. In the third he determines that water must be mixed with the wine, there: *Now water must be mixed with the wine.* And that part has two parts. In the first he shows the manner of mixing. In the second he inquires whether this pertains to the necessity of the Sacrament, there: *But if it is asked whether what is done is void, if water* etc.

### Treatment of the questions.

For the understanding of this part, according to the two things which the Master determines, two things are principally inquired.

First, for the understanding of the first, it is asked about the species in which the Church now confects.

Second, it is asked about the manner in which Christ confected.

Concerning the first, four things are asked briefly.

First it is asked whether this Sacrament ought to be confected in the species of bread and wine.

Second, whether each of these species belongs to the integrity of the Sacrament.

Third, it is asked whether water belongs to the integrity of the Sacrament.

Fourth, whether this Sacrament can be confected in any bread and wine whatsoever.

### Article I.
*On the species in which the Church now confects.*
