Topic IX.

If any one says that Christ suffers change or alteration, and refuses to acknowledge that He is unchangeable in the Spirit, though corruptible⁴¹²⁴¹²    John ii. 20, 21. in the flesh,⁴¹³⁴¹³    [Christ’s flesh being incorruptible, transubstantiation cannot be true: the holy food is digested in its material part.] let him be anathema.

Explication.

How could one say that Christ suffers change or alteration, when the Lord Himself says, “I am and change not;”⁴¹⁴⁴¹⁴    Mal. iii. 6. again, “His soul shall not be left in Hades, neither shall His flesh see corruption?”⁴¹⁵⁴¹⁵    Ps. xvi. 10; Acts ii. 31.
