By his Divine Majesty, by his Providence, by his unspeakable and invisible Grace, That is fulfilled which he spake; Behold I am with you unto the end of the World: But as concerning the Flesh which he took in his Incarnation, as concerning that which was born of the Virgin, as concerning that which was apprehended by the Jews, and Crucified upon the Tree, and taken down from the Cross, lapped in Linen Cloths, and buried and rose again, and appeared after his Resurrection; as concerning that Flesh, he said,—Ye shall not ever have me with you. Why so? for as concerning his Flesh, he was conversant with his Disciples forty days, and they accompanying him, seeing, and not following him, he went up into Heaven, and is not here. By the presence of his Divine Majesty he did not depart. As concerning the presence of his Divine Majesty, we have Christ ever with us; but as concerning the presence of his Flesh, he said truly to his Disciples - Ye shall not ever have me with you. For as concerning the presence of his Flesh, the Church had him but a few days; now it holdeth him by Faith, tho it see him not.

Thus much St. Augustin speaketh, repeating one thing so oft, and all to declare and teach how we should understand the manner of Christs being here
