Th• l•ke may be said of the Lutherans Consubstantiation, whereby they b••re men in hand that there is a coexistence, by which the body of Christ is eith•• in, or with, or about the bread. Against this, these reasons may suffice: I. The •ho•• action of the Supper is done in remembrance of Christ, now what […]f the body of Christ were really present. II. Act. 3.21. Whom the heavens […] contain, until the time that all things be restored. III. This is an essential property of every magnitude, and therefore of the body of Christ, to be in one place, and circumscribed or compassed of one place. IV. If that Christs body were eaten corporally, then should the wicked as well as the faithful be partakers of the flesh of Christ; but to eat his flesh, is to believe in him, and to have eternal life. V. It were very absurd to think, that Christ sitting amongst his Disciples, did with his own hands take his own body, and give it wholly to each of his Disciples.
