And where ye fantasy, that the Body of Christ in the Sacrament hath in it self neither Form, nor Proportion, nor Limitation of place, nor Distinction of parts,1 S. Augustine telleth you, Spatia locorum tolle Corporibus, & nusquam erunt: & quia nusquam erunt, nec erunt. Tolle ipsa Corpota qualitatibus Corporū, non erit, ubi sint: & ideo necesse est, ut non sint: Take away from Bodies Limitation of place, and the Bodies will be no where: and because they be nowhere, they will be nothing. Take away from Bodies the qualities of Bodies, there will be no place for them to be in: and therefore the same Bodies must needs be no Bodies at all. Hereof we may conclude, that the Body of Christ, which you have imagined to be contained Grossly, and Carnally in the Sacrament, for as much as, by your own Confession, it hath neither Quality, nor Quantity, nor Form, nor Place, nor Proportion of Body, therefore, by S. Augustine's Doctrine, it is no Body.
And where ye fantasie, that the Body of Christe in the Sacramente hathe in it selfe neither Fourme, nor Proportion, nor Limitation of place, nor Distinction of partes,1 S. Augustine telleth you, Spatia locorum tolle Corporibus, & nusquam erunt: & quia nusquam erunt, nec erunt. Tolle ipsa Corpota qualitatibus Corporū, non erit, vbi sint: & ideo necesse est, vt non sint: Take awaye from Bodyes Limitation of place, and the Bodyes wil be no where: and bicause they be nowhere, they wil be nothing. Take awaye from Bodyes the qualities of Bodyes, there wil be no place for them to be in: and therefore the same Bodies muste needes be no Bodies at al. Hereof wée maye conclude, that the Body of Christe, whiche you haue imagined to be conteined Grossely, and Carnally in the Sacramente, for as mutche as, by your owne Confession, it hathe neither Qualitie, nor Quantitie, nor Fourme, nor Place, nor Proportion of Body, therefore, by S. Augustines Doctrine, it is no Body.
