Christ at his last Supper according to Nature sate down with his twelve Disciples, and among them occupied a place at the Table visibly, by his divine power there he held his Body in his hands invisibly (152)1 for, (as S. Augustine saith) Ferebatur manibus suis, 2he was borne in his own hands: where nature gave place, and his own Body was in moe places then one. Verily, Non est abbreviata manus Domini, The hande of our Lord is not shortened, his power is as great, as ever it was. And therefore let us not doubt, but he is able to use nature finite, infinitely: specially now, the nature of his Body being glorified after his Resurrection from the dead. And as the living is not to be sought among the dead, so the things that be done by the power of God above nature, are not to be tried by the rules of Nature.
