Howe that the presence corporal of Jesus Christ in the Supper may have no place except he have an infinite body, or many.

Hovve that the presence corporall of Iesus Christ in the Supper may haue no place excepte he haue an infinite bodie, or manye.

P. Albeit that it were so, yet must it needs be, that he have a body infinite to be in so many places at ones: or else that he have an infinite number of bodies to be in so many places at once, as they would have him.

P. Albeit that it were so, yet must it néedes be, that he haue a body infinite to be in so many places at ones: or else that he haue an infinite number of bodies to be in so many places at once, as they wold haue him.

M. I understand well, that if Jesus Christ had such a body, & that his humane nature were infinite, as is his divine, it could be no more an humane nature, nether could there be any difference between the one & the other.

M. I vnderstand well, that if Iesus Chryste had suche a bodie, & that his humane nature wer infinite, as is his diuine, it could be no more an humane nature, nether could there be any differēce betwene ye one & the other.

Of the invisible coming of the body of Jesus Christ.

Of the inuisible comming of the body of Iesus Christe.

P. AS concerning that which thou hast said of the invisible coming of Jesus Christ, where is it in the holy Scriptures that they find such a coming, in the which Jesus Christ cometh from heaven invisibly in the proper substance of his body?

P. AS cōcerning that which thou hast sayde of the inuisible comming of Iesus Chryste, where is it in the holie Scriptures that they fynde suche a comming, in the which Iesus Chryst cōmeth from heauen inuisibly in the proper substance of his bodie?

M. I can not tell, for as thou haste already declared in the articles of faith, we speak but of two corporal comings of Jesus Christ.

M. I can not tell, for as thou haste alredy decelard in the articles of faith, we speake but of two corporall commings of Iesus Chryst.

Of the spiritual coming of Jesus Christ.

Of the spirituall comming of Iesus Christ.

P. I Will grant them that there is an invisible coming of Jesus Christ by the ⟨p. 336⟩which he cometh daily invisibly to all. But that is not in the proper and natural substance of his natural body, but by his divine virtue, whereby notwithstanding he maketh us in deed partakers of his body and of his blood, and doth nourish us, as he doth testify the same unto us in his holy Supper, & doth the same by the virtue of his holy spirit, the which joineth us unto him without being needful that Jesus Christ descend or ascend in his own body, to make us partakers.

P. I Wil grant them that there is an inuisible cōming of Iesus Christ by the ⟨p. 336⟩whiche hée commeth dayely inuisibly to all. But that is not in the proper and naturall substaunce of hys natural bodie, but by his diuyne vertue, whereby notwithstandyng hée maketh vs in deede partakers of his bodie and of his bloud, and doth nourish vs, as he doth testify the same vnto vs in his holy Supper, & doth the same by the vertue of his holy spirite, the whiche ioyneth vs vnto him without being néedefull that Iesus Christe descend or ascend in his owne body, to make vs partakers.

M. But how may this be done, forasmuch as the body of Jesus Christ is in heaven, and that we be on the earth, and that there is so great distance between the one and the other?

M. But howe may this be done, forsomuche as the body of Iesus Chryste is in heauen, and that wée be on the earth, and that ther is so great distāce betwene the one and the other?

P. Seeing that this conjunction is not natural nor carnal, but supernatural and spiritual, it is not at all hard for the holy Ghosts in such sort to join the earth and the heaven together, and to draw up our hearts into heaven, even to Jesus Christ.

P. Seing that this coniunction is not naturall nor carnall, but supernaturall and spiritual, it is not at all harde for the holy Ghosts in such sort to ioyn the earth and the heauen together, and to drawe vp our hearts into heauen, euen to Iesus Christe.

M. I know well that there is nothing hard nor impossible to God.

M. I know well that there is nothyng harde nor impossible to God.

P. In like manner is it not hard for Jesus Christ, to make the virtue and efficacy of his body ⟨p. 337⟩the sacrifice of the same which he hath offered for us, to come even to us, without being needful that he descend bodily from heaven, to come to us.

P. In lyke manner is it not harde for Iesus Chryste, to make the vertue and efficacie of his bodie ⟨p. 337⟩the sacrifice of the same which he hath offered for vs, to come euen to vs, without being néedefull that he descende bodily from heauen, to come to vs.

M. I grant to thee all that.

M. I graunte to thée all that.
