Orthodox. You are taken now in a net of your own weaving. *For the Mystical Signs do not after Sanctification depart from their own Nature. For they remain still in their former Substance, and figure and form; and may be seen and touched as before: But they are understood to be that which they are made; and they are believed and adored (or “reverenced) as being those things that they are believed to be. Compare then the Image with the Original, and you shall see the Similitude. For it is meet that the Figure be like to the Truth. For *that Body hath indeed its former form, and figure, and circumscription, and to speak in a word, bodily Substance. But since the Resurrection it is become immortal, and such as no corruption or destruction can befall; and it is vouchsafed to sit at Gods right-hand; and is worshipped of every creature, as being called the Lords natural Body.
