10 Again, it doth abolish the nature of Christs body: For if the same be thus received by every one in particular, it must needs be, both present in infinite places at once, and also be infinite of it self: The which point, is contrary unto the Articles of our belief, whereby we believe, that he was true man; that he was borne, suffered, dead, risen again, ascended up into heaven.
10 Againe, it doth abolish the nature of Christs bodie: For if the same be thus receued by euery one in particuler, it must needs be, both present in infinit places at once, and also be infinite of it selfe: The which point, is contrary vnto the Articles of our beliefe, whereby we beleeue, that hee was true man; that hee was borne, suffered, dead, risen againe, ascended vp into heauen.
11 Furthermore, if the receiving of Christ were corporal, the ancient Church under the law, had not been partaker of his body, because the same was not as yet borne: which point is contrary unto the Apostle, who saith, that the Fathers did receive the same spiritual meat, and the same spiritual drink.
11 Furthermore, if the receiuing of Christ were corporall, the ancient Church vnder the law, had not bene partaker of his bodie, because the same was not as yet borne: which point is contrarie vnto the Apostle, who saith, that the Fathers did receiue the same spirituall meate, and the same spirituall drinke.
12 Further, if Christ were corporally present, he should be eaten without respect both of the bad, and the good, which is impossible. For to eat the flesh of Christ, is to believe in Christ, to be joined with Christ, and to be drawn from death unto life; which can by no means agree unto the wicked.
