And as for this word (really) in such a sense as you expound it,1 (that is to say, not in fantasy nor imagination, but verily and truly) so I grant that Christ is really, not only in them that duly receive the sacrament of the Lords supper, but also in them that duly receive the sacrament of Baptism, and in all other true christian people at other times when they receive no sacrament. For all they be the members of Christs body, and Temples in whom he truly inhabiteth, although corporally and really, (as the Papists take that word really) he be only in heaven and not in the sacrament.
