1The holy scripture witnesseth, that the Son of God did personally take unto himself a true and very body. The self same scripture doth attribute unto the flesh of our saviour Christ assumed, and that both before and after the glorification thereof, such things as do plainly prove the truth of a natural body, as that he came, that he went away, that he was sometimes present, and sometimes absent. These things then do of necessity follow the trueth of Christs body, which if a man take from it, he must also needs take away the truth of the manhood of Christ, and so come at the length to the heresy of the Marcionites or Dokits. 2But these things are manifestly taken away, by their opinion, who say that Christs flesh is now also and that in deed and verily present, both into the heavens, into which he ascended, and in the earth likewise, and that also in all ⟨p. 71⟩places, in which that bread and that wine is delivered or given to such as come to receive it. I will say nothing of them that are not ashamed to affirm that Christs flesh even from the very first moment of the personal union, was together and in deed present, both in the crib, and in the heaven, yea every where present. To this first of all they answer:3 that Christs body cannot without great wickedness, be made subject to the law of nature, for that body that was taken into the unity of the person, hath received far other unmeasurable gifts and graces.
1The holie scripture witnesseth, that the sonne of God did personallie take vnto himselfe a true and verie bodie. The selfe same scripture dooth attribute vnto the flesh of our sauiour Christ assumed, and that both before and after the glorification thereof, such things as doo plainelie prooue the truth of a naturall bodie, as that he came, that he went away, that he was sometimes present, and sometimes absent. These things then doo of necessitie follow the trueth of Christes bodie, which if a man take from it, he must also needs take away the truth of the manhood of Christ, and so come at the length to the heresie of the Marcionits or Dokits.
