For if Christs Body in the Sacrament be not Local, as he saith, then is it no ⟨p. 351⟩Natural, or Real Body. This rule S. Augustine taketh to be infallible.1 His words be these: Tolle loca Corporibus, & nusquam erunt: & qui nusquam erunt, nec erunt. Take away the places from the Bodies, and the Bodies shall be no where: and because they shall be nowhere, they shall have no being: and so shall be no Bodies at all. And he speaketh not thus only of other natural Bodies, but specially, and namely of the Body of Christ.

Certainly, the more spiritual a thing is, the more it is void from the circumstance, and necessity of place.1 Wherefore, when M. Harding saith, The Body of Christ is in Heaven, as in a place, and in the Sacrament without place: he seemeth secretly to say, that Christs Body in the Sacrament is more Glorious, more Spiritual, and Divine, then is the very Body of Christ in deed, that is in Heaven, in the Glory of God the Father. Which conclusion, how well it may stand, either with the rest of his own Doctrine, or with the trueth of our Christian Religion, I leave it in consideration to the Reader.
