Thus is Christ both Absent, and Present: Present in Majesty, Absent in Body. And in this sense Chrysostome saithe, 1Semper nobiscum est Christus: Neque enim, nisi nobiscum esset Christus, superesset Ecclesia: Christ is evermore Present with us. For onlesse he were present, the Church of God could not continue.
Thus is Christe bothe Absente, and Presente: Presente in Maiestie, Absente in Body. And in this sense Chrysostome saithe, 1Semper nobiscum est Christus: Neque enim, nisi nobiscum esset Christus, superesset Ecclesia: Christe is euermore Presente with vs. For onlesse he were presente, the Churche of God coulde not continewe.
- 1Chrysost. 1. Corinth. Homil. 6.
But M. Harding saith, Howe can ye make good, that by Faith we receive his Body, and Blood? By Faith we receive Grace, &c. This question should rather have been demanded of S. Augustine, and of other Learned Doctors, and Ancient Fathers of the Church. 1How could S. Augustine saie, Quid paras dentem, & ventrem? Creed, & Manducasti: What preparest thou thy tooth, and thy Belly? Believe: and thou haste eaten. How could Tertullian saie, Christus auditu devorandus est: intellectu ruminandus est: & Fide digerendus est? Christe muste be devoured by Hearing: chewed by understanding: digested by Faith.
