But, because M. Harding will hereof reason thus, If Christs Body by mean of the Sacrament be Really, and Carnally in us:1 It is likely the same Body is also Really, and Carnally in the Sacrament. For answer hereunto, it shall be necessary, first to understand, how many ways Christs Body dwelleth in our Bodies, and thereby afterward to view M. Hardinges reason. Four special means there be, whereby Christ dwelleth in us, and we in him: His Nativity, whereby he embraced us: Our Faith, whereby we embrace him: The Sacrament of Baptism: and the Sacrament of his Body. By every of these means, Christs Body dwelleth in our Bodies: and that not by way of Imagination, or by Figure, or Fantasy: but Really, Naturally, Substantially, Fleshly, and in deed.

And touching Christs Nativity, S. Bernard saith,1 Corpus Christi de meo est, & meum est: Paruulus enim natus est nobis, & Filius datus est nobis. The Bodie of Christ is of my Body, and is now become mine: For a Babe is borne unto us: and a Son is given unto us. So saith S. Basil, Participes facti sumus Verbi, & Sapientiae per Incarnationem, & Sensibilem vitam. Carnem enim, & Sanguinem appellavit omnem illam Mysticam Conuersationem.
