Is this the Papists union with Christ? Is this the manner whereby we are made one Flesh with Christ, to eat his flesh? nay, when he took our flesh unto him, and was made Man, then we were united to him in the flesh, and not now. Christ took our flesh, we take not his flesh, but believe that he took ours, therefore if you would know whether Christ's Body be in the 1Sacrament, I say unto you as Christ said unto Thomas, touch, feel, and see. In visible things God hath appointed our eyes to be judges, for as the spirit discerneth spiritual objects, so sense discerneth sensible objects. As Christ taught Thomas to judge of his Body, so may we; and so should they: therefore if you cannot see his Body, nor feel his Body, you may gather by Christ's saying to Thomas, that he would not have you believe 2that it is his body, for my body (saith Christ) may be seen and felt. And thus Transubstantiation is found a liar.
