Annotatio IV §.XVIII: Wycliffe — body IN FIGURE, true bread IN NATURE; figurative speech (John = Elijah)
As John the Baptist was figurally Elijah, not personally, so the altar bread is FIGURALLY Christ’s body.
Without ambiguity this is FIGURATIVE speech — like ‘John himself is Elijah.’
Latin
Item: Sicut Johannes Baptista figuraliter fuit Elias, & non personaliter, ita panis in altari FIGURALITER est corpus Christi, & absque omni ambiguitate hæc est FIGURATA locutio, sicut illa: Johannes ipse est Elias.
