Lambert answered unto this argument, saying: that the Minor was not thereby proved, that Christs body was dispersed in two places, or more, but remained rather still in one place, as touching the manner of his body.1 For the Scripture doth not say, that Christ being upon earth, did speak unto Paul: But that suddenly a light from heaven did shine round about him, and he falling to the ground, heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why doest thou persecute me? I am Jesus whom thou persecutest. &c. Here this place doth nothing let, but that Christ sitting in heaven,2 might speak unto Paul, and be heard upon earth, for they which were with Paul, verily heard the voice, but did see no body.
