Calvin's Approach to the Eucharist

By the seventeenth century, it becomes common among seventeenth century calvinist philosophers to talk about bodies as being essentially quanta rigt. The quantitative features of body are essential to body, theirnow they're inseparable from their dimension and also their locatedness. And i think this sets up io descartes's later, very influential definition of matter as resicstanza rite is something a substance that's essentially extended in length, breadth and depth. It also indirectly makes protestant philosophers more receptive to adamist theories of matter.
