The being of our body in two places at once is against nature / and scripture can not a low1 ⟨image 54⟩it. But that two bodies should be in one place seameth more reasonable. For I have good experience that though my body can not be in two places at once (both in the tower & where I would have it beside) yet blessed be god in this one place / I am not with ou•e company. But if master more mean that in one proper & several place / may be two bodies at once / that I will deny / till he have leisure to prove it. And yet at the length I am sure / his proof shall not be worth a podding prick. For I am sure it muste be, Ratione porositatis ut in igne & ferro: nā penetrationem dimen•ionum nunq probabit. And then he is as near as he was before.
