Question. But who will agree vntoo these groundes?

Answer. Surely whosoever is a Christian. For he that denieth that the body taken of the son of God was a true, & therefore an organical body, he is a Marcionite, and not a Christian. He that denieth, that Christ came according to his ⟨image 156⟩flesh thither whether he came, & went away whence he went, and therefore was not truly absent and present in certain places, he is refelled by the history of the Gospel. He that taketh away the propriety of a natural body, (that is to say, which is not in any other place then wherein it is limited) either from the time of that substantial union, or from the time of his ascension, he is an Eutychian and not a Christian. They also that interpret the ascension of Christ after the mutation of quality and not of place, and interpret the heavens into which he ascended allegorically, they are refelled also by the history it self, and by the analogy and proportion of Faith, and that they may deny one usual type & figure, and altogether agreeable to the proportion of Faith, they bring in innumerable figures disagreeing from the proportion of Faith. Finally, they that think that the propriety of the words in the history of the ascension can stand with that real presence, ⟨image 157⟩either by consubstantiō, or by tram substantiation, they maintain two contradictions at once to which contradiction that there is no place, neither in nature nor in the mysteries of faith, we will show in his place. This collection therefore standeth sure & is invincible: Christ according to the flesh properly, is gone from us above the heavens, not to come again from thence, before that he shall come to judge both the quick and the dead. Therefore neither the bread which is in the earth, is properly the very flesh of Christ, neither the flesh of Christ is properly in, or with, or under the bread.
