A Figure of a Body, presupposeth a very Natural Body: For of a Show, or a Fantasy, there can be no Figure.
A Figure of a Bodie, presupposeth a very Natural Bodie: For of a Shewe, or a Fantasie, there can be no Figure.
But Christ gave unto his Disciples a Figure of his Body:
But Christe gaue vnto his Disciples a Figure of his Bodie:
Therefore, it must needs follow, that Christ had a very Natural Body.
Therefore, it muste néedes folowe, that Christe had a very Natural Bodie.
As every part of this Argument is true, so the proportion, and form of the same importeth a necessary sequel in reason. The words stand thus, Acceptum Panem, 1& distributum Discipulis, Corpus suum illum fecit, Dicendo, Hoc est Corpus meum, id est, Figura Corporis mei. Figura autem non esset, nisi Veritatis esset Corpus. Coeterum vacua res, quae est Phantasma, Figuram capere non potest. Christe taking the reade, and distributing it to his Disciples, made it his Body, saeinge, This is my Body: That is to say, This is a Figure of my Body. But a Figure it could not be, onlesse there were a Body of a trueth, and in deed. For a void thing, as is a fantasy, can receive no Figure. These words are plain of them self: and if trueth only might suffice, would require no long Exposition.
