He saith further, It is agreeable to the Godhead, to be every where, Simpliciter, and Propriè: For a creature, it is agreeable to be in one place. But as for the Body of Christ, he saith, it is after a manner between both. This is the whole countenance of this matter. And this whole place M. Harding hath borrowed even word by word out of Gerson.1 But where as he addeth, That the Body of Christ, as it is united unto the Godhead, may be at one time in sundry places, he should have remembered, that this is an old error, long sithence reproved, and condemned by S. Augustine,2 and other learned Fathers. S. Augustine saith thus: Cavendum est, ne ita Divinitatem astruamus Hominis, ut veritatem Corporis auferamus. Nō est autem consequens, ut, quod in Deo est, ita sit ubique, ut Deus. We must beware, that we do not so maintain the Divine Nature of Christ being man, that we take away the Trueth of his Body. Neither doth it follow, that the thing, that is in God, is therefore everywhere, as God is. S. Augustine's words be plain, that who so saith, The Body of Christ is every where (or in infinite places at one time, which is all one thing, the reason, and miracle being like) utterly denieth the verity of Christs Body.
He saith further, It is agreeable to the Godheade, to be euery where, Simpliciter, and Propriè: For a creature, it is agreeable to be in one place. But as for the Bodie of Christe, he saithe, it is after a manner bitweene bothe. This is the whole countenance of this mater. And this whole place M. Hardinge hath borowed euen woorde by woorde out of Gerson.1 But where as he addeth, That the Bodie of Christe, as it is vnited vnto the Godheade, maie be at one time in sundrie places, he shoulde haue remembred, that this is an olde erroure, longe sithence reproued, and condemned by S. Augustine,2 and other learned Fathers. S. Augustine saith thus: Cauendum est, ne ita Diuinitatem astruamus Hominis, vt veritatem Corporis auferamus. Nō est autem consequens, vt, quod in Deo est, ita sit vbique, vt Deus. We must beware, that we doo not so mainteine the Diuine Nature of Christ beinge man, that we take awaie the Trueth of his Bodie. Neither dooth it folow, that the thinge, that is in God, is therefore euerywhere, as God is. S. Augustines wordes be plaine, that who so saith, The Bodie of Christe is euery where (or in infinite places at one time, whiche is al one thinge, the reason, and miracle beinge like) vtterly denieth the veritie of Christes Bodie.
