2. I grant therefore, that our senses are no Competent Judges, Whether Christs true body be in the Sacrament? no more than Whether an Angel be in this room? There are bodies which are Invisible.
3. I grant that it is unknown to us, how far Christs Glorified body may extend? Whether the same may be both in Heaven and on earth? I am not able nor willing ⟨p. 147⟩to confute them that say, Light is a Body; nor them that say, It is a spirit: nor them that say, It is quid medium as a nexus of both: I mean Aether or Ignis, visible in its Light. And it is an incomprehensible wonder, if Lumen be a real radiant or Emanant part of the Sun, that it should indivisibly fill all the space thence to this earth, and how much further little do we know. So for the extensions of Christs body, let those that understand it dispute for me.
4. And I will grant that it is very probable that as in Heaven we shall have both a Soul and Body, so the Body is not like to have so near an Intuition and fruition of God as the soul. And whether the Glorified Body of Christ will not be there a medium of Gods Communication of Glory to our bodies, yea and his glorified soul to our souls, as the Sun is now to our eyes, I do not well understand: only I know that it is his prayer and will, that we be with him where he is to behold his Glory; and that God and the Lamb will be the Light of the Heavenly Jerusalem.
