But do they place that presence simply in all things, or in the sacraments only?

But doo they place that presence simplie in all things, or in the sacraments onely?

Answer. Such as will have Christ present in all places at once, will have him in all things, in so much as they will not have Christ as Christ in respect of his substance to be otherwise in, under, or with the bread then in all other things: and that by the power of the personal union, which they determine by the real effusion and pouring forth of all the virtues of the Godhead into that flesh taken: in which sense they interpret also the ascension of Christ into heaven, and his sitting at the right hand of god. But certain others do so teach this real presence of Christs flesh to the people, that they them selves think that Christs flesh hath obtained this of the Godhead, to which it is joined that it may be in very deed in many places ⟨image 48⟩at tonce as it will, the trueth thereof remaining safe and sound, but that it appeareth the plain words of the institution of the Supper that Christ would have his flesh present there indeed: whereupon it should follow that this presence should especially be established in the Sacrament of the Supper, other concerning the matter it self think the same thing: but they fetch this presence from the words themselves of the Institution, adjoining his sitting at the right hand of the father, omitting that same power of the personal union. To conclude the popish Transubstantiators condemning that hold ubiquity, place this real presence in the alone sacrament of the Altar (as they speak) sticking in a working power of certain words and omnipotency of God.

But certain others do so teach this reall presence of Christes flesh to the people, that they them selues thinke that Christs flesh hath obteined this of the Godhead, to which it is ioyned that it may be in verie deede in many places
