Howe be it, the matter being granted, that these words pertain to the Holy Ministration, yet if we would reason thus, Christs Body is in Heaven: Therefore it is not Really, and Fleshly in the Sacrament, Ye say, We should make a foolish Argument: Our Rhetoric is better stuff, then our Logic.
Howe be it, the matter beinge graunted, that these woordes perteine to the Holy Ministration, yet if wee woulde reason thus, Christes Body is in Heauen: Therefore it is not Really, and Fleashely in the Sacramente, Ye saie, VVee shoulde make a foolishe Argumente: Our Rhetorique is better stuffe, then our Logique.
This Argument, M. Harding, is taken of the Nature of Christs Humanity: which being the Very Natural Body of a Man, by the Judgement of the Ancient Fathers, must needs be in one only place at one time, and can reach no further. For otherwise it were not a Very Natural Mans Body. Therefore S. Augustine saith,1 as he is alleged by Gratian, Corpus Domini, in quo Resurrexit, in uno loco esse oportet: The Body of our Lord, wherein he rose again, must needs be in one Place. Like wise again he saithe, Christus secundum Praesentiam Corporalem, simul & in Sole, & in Luna, & in Cruce esse non potuit: Touchinge Bodily presence, Christ could not be in the Soon, in the Moon, and upon the Cross, all at once.
This Argumente, M. Hardinge, is taken of the Nature of Christes Humanitie: whiche beinge the Very Natural Body of a Man, by the Iudgemente of the Auncient Fathers, muste needes be in one onely place at one time, and can reache no further. For otherwise it were not a Very Natural Mannes Body. Therefore S. Augustine saithe,1 as he is alleged by Gratian, Corpus Domini, in quo Resurrexit, in vno loco esse oportet: The Body of our Lorde, wherein he rose againe, muste needes be in one Place. Like wise againe he saithe, Christus secundum Praesentiam Corporalem, simul & in Sole, & in Luna, & in Cruce esse non potuit: Touchinge Bodily presence, Christe coulde not be in the Soone, in the Moone, and vpon the Crosse, al at once.
