Christs Body is Ascended into Heaven: Ergo, The same Body is Really, and Fleshly in the Sacrament. But M. Harding will say, Christ speaking to the Capernaites, made mention of his Omnipotent Power, Therefore in the Sacrament there must needs be a Fleshly Presence.1 First, as it is before alleged, Nicolas Lyra saith, Christs words to the Capernaites pertain nothing to the Sacrament, but only unto the Spiritual Eating of Christs Body, which in deed is the Omnipotent Work of the Spirit of God.
Christes Bodie is Ascended into Heauen: Ergo, The same Bodie is Really, and Fleashely in the Sacrament. But M. Hardinge wil say, Christe speaking to the Capernaites, made mention of his Omnipotent Power, Therfore in ye Sacrament there must néedes be a Fleashly Presence.1 First, as it is before alleged, Nicolas Lyra saith, Christes woordes to the Capernaites perteine nothing to the Sacrament, but onely vnto the Spiritual Eatinge of Christes Bodie, whiche in deede is the Omnipotent Worke of the Spirite of God.
- 1Nico. Lyra in Psalm. 110.
And again, would M. Harding make all the world believe, if Christs Body be not fleshly, and grossly in the Sacrament, according to his fantasy, that then God therefore is not Omnipotent? Verily, the old Catholic Fathers acknowledge Gods Omnipotency in the Water of Baptism: yet is not Christ therefore ⟨p. 325⟩Really Present in the water.1 S. Chrysostome saith, Cum Baptizaris, Sacerdos te non Baptizat: Sed Deus est, qui Caput tuum Inuisibili Potentia continet: & nec Angelus, nec Archangelus, nec ullus alius audet accedere, & tangere. When thou art Baptized, it is not the Prest that dippeth thee: but it is God, that by his Invisible Power holdeth thy head: and neither Angel, nor Archangel, nor any other power dareth to approach, and touch thee.
