But M. Harding will reply, Chrysostom saith, As Christ was in the stall, so he is now upon the Altar: and, as he was sometimes in the Woman's Arms, so is he now in the Priests Hands. True it is, Christ was there: and Christ is here: but not in one, or like sort of Being. For he was in the stall by Bodily Presence: upon the Holy Table he is by way of a Sacrament. The woman in her arms held him Really: the Priest in his hands holdeth him only in a Mystery. So saith S. Paul, Christ dwelleth in our hearts: 1and no doubts, the same Christ, that lay in the stall. It is one, and the same Christ: but the difference standeth in the manner of his Being there. For in the stall he lay by Presence of his Body: in our hearts he lieth by Presence of Faith.

True it is, Christe was there: and Christe is here: but not in one, or like sorte of Beinge. For he was in the stalle by Bodily Presence: vpon the Holy Table he is by waie of a Sacrament. The woman in her armes helde him Really: the Priest in his handes holdeth him onely in a Mysterie. So saith S. Paule, Christe dwelleth in our hartes: 1and no doubtes, the same Christe, that laie in the stalle. It is one, and the same Christe: but the difference standeth in the manner of his Being there. For in the stalle he laie by Presence of his Bodie: in our hartes he lieth by Presence of Faith.
