Propositions and principles of divinity propounded and disputed in the university of Geneva, by certain students of divinity there, under M. Theod. Beza, and M. Anthony Faius ... Wherein is contained a methodical summary, or epitome of the common places of divinity. Translated out of Latin into English, to the end that the causes, both of the present dangers of that Church, and also of the troubles of those that are hardly dealt with else-where, may appear in the English tongue.Propositions and principles of diuinitie propounded and disputed in the vniuersitie of Geneua, by certaine students of diuinitie there, vnder M.

11 Out of this spiritual union, ariseth that mystical body, whereof Christ is the head, both in respect of his preeminence over the same, and also, because he doth wholly give sense and motion thereunto. Now, all those that believe and are sanctified, are called members under this head; in which sense is the Church called by PETER, the City, & the spiritual temple of God, built of lively stones; whose foundation and chief corner stone is Christ, who sustaineth and beareth up the whole building.

It is no less absurd therefore to suppose, that there is a kind of fastening, and a cleaving of Christs body within ours, or of ours within his; then it were to say, that the bodies of the Saints do subsist one within another: Seeing that the band of the Communion of Saints, is the very same that the union is, which they have, both with themselves, and with Christ.
