But to what end allegeth M. Harding the Spiritual state of Christs Glorious Body?1 doth he not remember that the Old Heretic Abbot Eutyches maintained his fantasies by the same, and was deceived? Christs Body, said he, is glorious: Therefore it is changed into the very substance, and nature of God, and hath now no shape, or proportion of a Body. This is an old Heresy, long sithence reprieved by Leo, Gelasius, and other Old Fathers, and condemned by the Council of Chalcedon, very much like unto this of M. Hardinges, if it be not fully the same. We believe, The Body of Christ is endowed with Immortality, Brightness, Light, and Glory: Yet is it nevertheless the same Body, it was before. And therefore S. Augustine saith,2 Corpus Domini secundum substantiam, etiam post Resurrectionem Caro appellata est. The Bodie of our Lord in respect of the Substance of it, yea after it is risen again, is called Flesh. And againe, Dominus Corpori suo immortalitatem dedit: Naturam non abstulit. The Lord gave to his Body immortality: But he took not away the Nature, or Substance of it.
But to what ende allegeth M. Hardinge the Spiritual state of Christes Glorious Bodie?1 dooth he not remember that the Olde Heretique Abbate Eutyches mainteined his fantasies by the same, and was deceiued? Christes Bodie, saide he, is glorious: Therefore it is changed into the very substance, and nature of God, and hath nowe no shape, or proportion of a Bodie. This is an olde Heresie, longe sithence repreued by Leo, Gelasius, and other Olde Fathers, and condemned by the Councel of Chalcedon, very muche like vnto this of M. Hardinges, if it be not fully the samo. We beleue, The Bodie of Christe is endewed with Immortalitie, Brightnes, Light, and Glorie: Yet is it neuerthelesse the same Bodie, it was before. And therefore S. Augustine saith,2 Corpus Domini secundum substantiam, etiam post Resurrectionem Caro appellata est. The Bodie of our Lorde in respecte of the Substance of it, yea after it is risen againe, is called Fleashe. And againe, Dominus Corpori suo immortalitatem dedit: Naturam non abstulit. The Lorde gaue to his Bodie immortalitie: But he tooke not awaie the Nature, or Substance of it.
