- 1653 (indicated as 1654), Jeremy Taylor, “The Real Presence and Spiritual of Christ in the Blessed Sacrament, Proved against the Doctrine of Transubstantiation. Section IX. Arguments from Other Scriptures, Proving Christ’s Real Presence in the Sacrament to be Only Spiritual, Not Natural.”, in Reginald Heber, editor, The Whole Works of the Right Rev. Jeremy Taylor, D.D.
