¹As for the cavil they make, that we are baptized into one body, meaning thereby the mystical body, and not the natural body of Christ, whereby they would enforce that we are fed with the natural body of Christ; but we are not ingrafted into it, but into the mystical body, and so put away the reason aforesaid. As for this cavil, I say, we may soon avoid it, if so be that we will consider how that Christ which is the head of the mystical body; is not separate from the body, and therefore to be ingrafted to the mystical body, is to be ingrafted into the natural body of Christ, to be a member of his flesh, and bones of his bones: as Pope Leo full well doeth witness, in saying: that Corpus regenerati fit caro crucifixi: The ⟨p. 101⟩body (saith he) of the regenerate, is made the flesh of Christ crucified. And hereto I could add some reasons for the excellency of Baptism. I think it be more to be gotten, then to be nourished. As for the excellent miracle of the patefaction of the Trinity, and the descending of the holy Ghost in Baptism in a visible form, the like whereto was no seen in the Lords Supper: I will omit to speak of further, then that I would you should know how it were no mastery, to set forth the excellency of this Sacrament, as well as of the Supper.
