Read S. Augustine, in his Epistle to Dardanus, & his 50. and 30. Treatise upon Saint John, and easily you shall see how that Christs body must needs be in one place. Oportet in uno loco esse: But his Trueth is in all places.

1If there be no substance of bread in the Sacrament, but Transubstantiation, then Christs body is received of the ungodly, and eaten with their teeth, which is not only against S. Augustine (calling this speech, Except you eat the flesh of the Son of man, &c. A figurative speech:) but also against the plain Scriptures, which ⟨p. 103⟩affirm them to dwell in Christ, and Christ in them, and they to have everlasting life that eat him; which the wicked have not, although they eat the Sacrament. He that eateth of this bread, (saith Christ) shall live for evermore. Therefore, they eat not Christs body, but (as Paul saith) they eat in judgement and damnation, which, believe it, is an other manner of thing then Christs body.
1If there be no substance of bread in the Sacrament, but Transsubstantiation, then Christs body is receiued of the vngodly, and eaten with their téeth, which is not onely against S. Augustine (calling this spéech, Except you eate the flesh of the Sonne of man, &c. A figuratiue speech:) but also against the plaine Scriptures, which ⟨p. 103⟩affirme them to dwell in Christ, and Christ in them, and they to haue euerlasting life that eate him; which the wicked haue not, although they eate the Sacrament. He that eateth of this bread, (saith Christ) shall liue for euermore. Therefore, they eate not Christs body, but (as Paul saith) they eate in iudgement and damnation, which, beléeue it, is an other manner of thing then Christs body.
