For how should the same be said to be sustained, where it doth not exist? the feet are sustained by the soul, not wheresoever the the soul is, be it in the head: but only where they themselves are existing. When the flesh was in the virgins womb: the word being then personally united unto it, did not then sustain the same, out of the womb of Mary: but only it was Hypostasis unto it in the womb, which sustained the same there, and not in any other place: which is also to be said of all the time of Christs life, when he lived in divers places. Likewise after his death it was Hypostasis unto his body, when it was dead and buried, & sustained the same in it self: but where? surely, not in heaven where the body was not: ⟨p. 289⟩but only in the grave: even as also it was Hypostasis to his soul separated from his body, not in the grave, but out of the grave, & sustained the same in it self. And now it sustaineth both the soul and body together, in heaven, not in earth: much less every where.
For how should the same be said to bee sustained, where it doth not exist? the feete are sustained by the soule, not wheresoeuer the the soule is, be it in the head: but onely where they themselues are existing. When the flesh was in the virgins wombe: the word being then personally vnited vnto it, did not thē sustaine the same, out of the wombe of Marie: but onely it was Hypostasis vnto it in the womb, which sustained the same there, and not in any other place: which is also to bee said of all the time of Christs life, when he liued in diuers places. Likewise after his death it was Hypostasis vnto his bodie, when it was dead and buried, & sustained the same in it selfe: but where? surely, not in heauen where the bodie was not: ⟨p. 289⟩but onely in the graue: euen as also it was Hypostasis to his soule separated from his bodie, not in the graue, but out of the graue, & sustained the same in it selfe. And now it sustaineth both the soule and bodie together, in heauen, not in earth: much lesse euerie where.
