(144)1 Among the miracles of this blessed Sacrament, one is, that one, and the same body, may be in many places at once, to wit, under all consecrated hosts. As for God, it is agreeable to his Godhead to be every where, Simpliciter, & propriè. But as for a creature, to be but in one place only. But as for the body of Christ, (145)2 it is after a manner between both. For where as it is a creature, It ought not to be made equal with the creator in this behalf, that it be every where.
