but as truly as his godhead concerning his essence cannot be seen. so is his body where so ever it be: subject unto the judgment of the senses. And as he that maketh à house first conceiveth à true form in his imagination and yet the imagination nor concept of the mind is not materially the house so such as dream and imagine à certain fantasy and reduce the form and figure of à true body into there imagination is not à true body, but à concept or imagination of à body, as those men have, that say Christ is in the bread and ⟨image 63⟩with the bread yet occupy yth it no place, nor is not sensible. This is a wonderful doctrine, to make that glorious body of Christ to be à true body, and yet lacketh all the qualities and quantities of à body, if Christ could have such à dreaming body, as they speak of yet may I not believe, it is in the sacrament corporally because Christ saith Nolite credere. And where they would better the matter with these words that Christ in the time of his being upon the earth did many things above the nature of a body and carried his body sometime invisible, and entered the house of the disciples the gates being shut, they prove nothing, only the trouble the simple conscience, and stablish such as be more addict unto the writing of man then unto the writing of god in there error. Peter walked upon the water, yet was very man nothing the less so it pleased ⟨image 63⟩god to use his creatures to his glory. Christs body was nothing changed all though sometimes for fear of the stones, he conveyed himself out of the way, though his disciples knew not how he entered the doors being shit, it is possible Enough that he opened the doors and yet they perceived it not: mens eyes be obedient unto the creator that they may see on think and yet not à nother. The scripture so teacheth. those evil men that would have don villainy unto the angels in Lot's house Gene. 19. were made so blind they could not find the next door to them, yet bid Lot's house still in one place, the same may ye read 4. Reg. 6. how god made blind the assyrians host so that Elisha led the hole army into the cite of Samaria. Balaam saw to bet his Ass, And yet could not see the angel that the Ass saw till he was reprehended by the Angel ⟨image 64⟩Num. 22. here may ye see that those reasons proveth nothing, that they would Christs body to be in the sacrament because sometimes he would not be seen of his enemies.
