6. And among the Benefits given us, besides the Relative, there are some such as we call Real or Physical terminatively, and hyperphysical originally ut à Causa, which are the spirit of Holiness, or the Quickening, Illuminating and Sanctifying influence of the spirit of ⟨p. 148⟩Christ upon our souls. And the Sacrament is appointed as a special means of communicating this.
7. I have met with some of late who say, that Indeed Christs Body and Blood in his humbled state, were not really eaten and drunk by the disciples, at his last supper: For the flesh profiteth not to such a use: But that his Glorified Body is spiritual, and is extensively communicated, and invisibly present under the form of Bread in the Sacrament; and that as we have a Body, a sensitive life, and an Intellectual soul, so Christ is the life of all these respectively; viz. His Body is made the spiritual nourishment of our Bodies; his sensitive soul (for which the word Blood is put, because it is in the blood in animals) is the food or life of our sensitive souls; and his Intellectual soul, of ours: And to these uses they assert the Real presence and oral participation of Christs Glorified body.
To all which I say, 1. Whether or how far an invisible spiritual Body is present, sense is no judge; nor can we know any further than Gods word telleth us. 2. That Christ in his Glorified soul and Body is our Intercessor with God, through whom we have all things, we must not doubt. 3. That Christ in his Humane and Divine Nature now in Heaven, is that Teacher who hath left us a certain word, and that King who hath left us a perfect Law of Life, whom we must obey, and a promise which we must trust, we must not question. 4. That the Holy Ghost who is our spiritual Life, is given us by, from and for Christ our Mediator, we must take for certain truth.
