Vigilius saith, If the Word and the Flesh be both of one nature, seeing that the Word is every-where, why then is not the Flesh also every-where? For when it was in Earth, then verily it was not in Heaven; and now when it is in Heaven, it is not surely in Earth. And it is so certain that it is ⟨p. 42⟩not in Earth, that as concerning the same, we look for him from Heaven; whom as concerning the Word, we believe to be with us in Earth.
Also the same Vigilius saith, Which things, seeing they be so, the course of the Scripture must be searched of us, and many Testimonies must be gathered, to show plainly what a wickedness and sacrilege it is to refer those things to the property of the Divine Nature, which do only belong to the nature of the Flesh; and contrariwise, to apply those things to the nature of the Flesh, which do properly belong to the Divine Nature. Which thing the Transubstantiators do, whilst they affirm Christ's Body not to be contained in any one place, and ascribe that to his Humanity, which properly belongeth to his Divinity, as they do who will have Christ's Body to be in no one certain place limited.
