31. Question.
And why dost thou call that thing spiritual and heavenly?
And why dost thou cal that thing spirituall and heauenly?
Answer. Not because they are of a spiritual & invisible substance: or because they are now endued with heavenly glory, as the Apostle saith that our bodies shall be spiritual & heavenly, to wit, in glory, & not in substance: but because they are set forth in these mysteries, not to our bodily senses, & after a bodily manner. For neither can our bodily senses do otherwise, but (as the words teach) to be beholden in mind, and to be laid hold upon by the hand of faith.
Answeare. Not because they are of a spirituall & inuisible substance: or bicause they are now endued with heauenly glory, as the Apostle saith that our bodies shalbe spirituall & heauenly, to wit, in glory, & not in substance: but because they are sette foorth in these mysteries, not to our bodily senses, & after a bodily maner. For neither can our bodily senses doe otherwise, but (as the words teach) to be beholden in minde, and to be laid hold vppon by the hand of fayth.
