Repl. And is this all that these Rabbis have to satisfy the world that it is not Bread and Wine which is seen, and felt, and tasted! Let us first take notice of the by-passages of his answer, and then reply to the substance. 1. Is not this like the rest of their contradictory imaginations? That Christ hath not a Corporal manner of Being in the Sacrament: and yet it is not Bread, but his Body that is there: yea before pag. 207. he saith, ⟨p. 35⟩[We maintain not his Corporal, but real and spiritual presence in the Sacrament. So that either they affirm that his Body is present, and yet deny his Bodily presence; or else they affirm his Bodily presence, but not his Corporal presence. Most learnedly! We shall at last be taught to distinguish between Bodily and Corporal! But is not the Juggle in the word [Manner?] Perhaps the Corporal presence is not denied, but the Corporal manner. Answ. 1. Yes, in terms its said [We maintain not his Corporal presence] 2. And can a Body be present, and not in a Bodily manner? And why is [Spiritually] put as contradistinct? Sure when Paul said our Bodies shall be raised spiritual bodies, he thought that they were nevertheless bodies for being spiritual; and therefore it is nevertheless a Bodily manner of presence, for being a spiritual manner. But if by the Corporal presence or manner (denied) be meant nothing but the qualities and quantity by which it is fit to be the Object of our senses, why had we not this plainly without juggling? To say Christ is present in Body but not sensibly, is plainer English, then to say that he is present in Body but not Bodily present.
