That we ought to send up our Faith into Heaven, and there to embrace the Body of Christ, it is S. Augustine's Doctrine, it is not ours. These be his words: Dices,1 Quomodò tenebo Christum Absentem? Quomodò in Coelum manum mittam, ut ibi sedentem teneam? Fidem mitt: & tenuisti. Parents tui tenuerunt Carne: tu tene Cord: Thou wilt say, how shall I hold Christ being Absent? Howe we shall I reach my hand into Heaven, that I may hold him sitting there? Send up thy Faith: and thou holdest him. Thy Fathers (the Jews) held him in the flesh: Hold him thou in thy heart.
