Justus of Urgell and Transubstantiation

Q. Did Justus advocate the Roman dogma of transubstantiation?


Justus, Bishop of Urgell (c. ?-527 A.D.):  

Desire thou not to see me always in the body, whom thou seest better in the spirit through faith. For to this end went I up into heaven, that thou shouldest see me no more compassed in a place; which notwithstanding do so replenish and fill all things with the presence of my divinity, that I am in every place, and contain all things, and am contained of no place. (J. P. Minge, Patrologiæ Cursus Completus, [1865], Patrologiæ Latinæ, Tomus LXVII, S. Justi Urgellensis, In Cantica Canticorum Explicatio, Num. 137, Col. 984). Here Trans. (Thomas Becon, The Catechism of Thomas Becon, S.t.p. Chaplain to Archbishop Cranmer, Prebendary of Canterbury, &c., Ed. John Ayre, [Cambridge University Press, 1844], pp. 275-276). Here
