1. Did any man ever before hear of a body without bigness? or a co•pus non quantum, without those dimensions that are so unseparable from a body, that the very same pname is given unto either, and we have no particular name either in Greek or Latin to express the one by, but that which is the usual appellation of the other? But a number of such absurd dreams and dotages doth this prodigious doctrine produce. qAccidents without subjects: Bodies without bigness: Parts bigger then the whole: The whole less then the least part: A grown mans entire body with all limbs and toynts of it, couched and cooped up in a thin wafer-cake and in every crumb of it. The same body that is entire in heaven still, in a thousand places entire too at the same time here on earth; and yet never stir an inch from the place that in heaven it still holdeth. These are rmagical mysteries indeed, which it is no marvel if this ignorant Minister cannot conceive.
