1For the old catholic Authors, to declare that two natures remain in Christ together (that is to say, his humanity and his divinity) without corruption or wasting of any of the said two natures, do give two examples thereof, one is of the body and soul, which both be in a man together, and the presence of the one putteth not away the other.
1For the olde catholike Authors, to declare that two natures remayne in Christ togither (that is to say, his humanity and his diuinity) without corruption or wasting of any of the sayd two natures, do geue two examples therof, one is of the body and soule, which both be in a man togither, and the presence of the one putteth not away the other.
- 1Two examples of the two natures in Christ, one in a man, the other in the Sacrament.Two examples of the two natures in Christ, one in a mā, the other in the Sacrament.
The other example is of the Lords Supper or ministration of the Sacrament, where is also together the substance and nature of bread and wine with the body and blood of Christ, and the presence of the one putteth not away the other, no more then the presence of Christs humanity putteth away his divinity. And as the presence of the soul driveth not away the body, nor the presence of the flesh and blood of Christ driveth not away the bread and wine, so doth not the presence of Christs humanity, expel his divinity, but his divinity remaineth still with his humanity, as the soul doth with the body, and the body of Christ with the bread. And then if there remain not the nature and substance of bread, it must follow also, that there remaineth not the divine nature of Christ, with his humanity, or else the similitude is clearly dissolved.
