The Minor, 1that is, That Christ is joined unto us by nature, he proveth thus. We are joined unto Christ by Faith, that is, by the nature of one Faith, and that is to say, Naturally: Likewise he saith,2 We are joined unto Christ by the Regeneration of one Nature: And again, We are joined to Christ by the Nature of one Baptism: Hereof he Concludeth: Therefore are we Naturally joined unto him. Thus it appeareth by S. Hilary, we may have Christ Naturally within us, by three other sundry means: and therefore not only, as M. Harding holdeth, by receiving of the Sacrament. And like as Christ is naturally, Corporally, and Carnally in us by Faith, by Regeneration, and by Baptism: even so, and none otherwise, he is in us by the Sacrament of his Body.3 In which Holy Mystery Christ is joined unto us Corporally, as being man, because we are fed in deed, and verily with his Flesh: and Spiritually is joined to us, as God.

We are ioyned vnto Christe by Faithe, that is, by the nature of one Faithe, and that is to saye, Naturally: Likewise he saithe,2 We are ioyned vnto Christe by the Regeneration of one Nature: And againe, We are ioyned to Christe by the Nature of one Baptisme: Hereof he Co•cludeth: Therefore are we Naturally ioyned vnto him. Thus it appéereth by S. Hilarie, we maye haue Christe Naturally within vs, by thrée other sundrie meanes: and therefore not onely, as M. Hardinge holdeth, by receiuinge of the Sacrament. And like as Christe is naturally, Corporally, and Carnally in vs by Faithe, by Regeneration, and by Baptisme: euen so, and none otherwise, he is in vs by the Sacrament of his Bodie.3 In whiche Holy Mysterie Christe is ioyned vnto vs Corporally, as beinge man, bicause we are feadde in deede, and verily with his Fleashe: and Spiritually is ioyned to vs, as God.
