Colens. We grant they were both in Judas at that time: for Christ may be where the Devil is, if he will, ⟨p. 1951⟩but the devil cannot be where Christ is, except it please Christ.
Colens. Wee graunt they were bothe in Iudas at that tyme: for Chryst may bee where the Deuill is, if he will, ⟨p. 1951⟩but the deuill cannot be where Christe is, excepte it please Christ.
New. Christ will not be in an unclean person that hath the Devil.
New. Christ will not be in an vncleane person that hathe the Deuill.
Thornton. Why, will ye not believe that Christ was in hell and ye will grant that the Devil is there:1 and so might he be in Judas, and if it pleased him.
Thornton. Why, will ye not beleue that Christ was in hell and ye will graunt that the Deuill is there:1 and so mighte he be in Iudas, and if it pleased him.
New. Christ would not suffer Mary Magdalen to touch him, which sought him at his grave, and did love him entirely: much less he will suffer an ungodly man to receive him into his unclean body.
New. Christ woulde not suffer Mary Magdalen to touche him, which sought him at his graue, and did loue him entirely: much lesse he will suffer an vngodly man to receaue him into his vncleane body.
Thornton. Yes, seeing God may do all things, he may do what he list, and be where he will: And doth not the Psal. say: he is in hell, and in all places. Why should we then doubt of his being there.
Thornton. Yes, seeing God may do all thinges, he may do what he list, and be where he will: And doth not the Psal. say: he is in hell, and in all places. Why shoulde wee then doubt of his being there.
New. Though his Godhead be in all places, yet that is not sufficient, to prove that his humanity is in all places.
New. Though his Godhead bee in all places, yet that is not sufficient, to prooue that his humanitie is in all places.
Thornton. No, do you not believe that God is omnipotent, and may do all things?
Thornton. No, doe you not beleeue that God is omnypotent, and may do all thinges?
New. I do believe that God is almighty, and may do all that he will do.
New. I doe beleue that God is almighty, and may doe all that he will do.
Thornton. 1Nay, but and if he be omnipotent, he may do all things, and there is nothing unpossible for him to do.
Thornton. 1Nay, but and if he be omnipotent, hee may doe all thinges, and there is nothing vnpossible for hym to do.
New. I know God is almighty, and can do all that he will but he cannot make his son a liar, he cannot deny him self, nor he cannot restore virginity once violated and defiled.
New. I know God is almighty, and can do all that he wil but he cannot make his sonne a lyer, he cannot deny hym selfe, nor hee cannot restore virginitie once violated and defiled.
Thornton. What is that to your purpose. GOD doth not defile virginity: we speak but of things that God doth.
Thornton. What is that to youre purpose. GOD dothe not defile virginitie: we speake but of thinges that God doth.
New. Why, will ye have the humanity of Christ in all places, as the deity is?
New. Why, will ye haue the humanitie of Christ in all places, as the deitie is?
New. I will promise you that seemeth to me a very great heresy: for heaven and earth are not able to contain the divine power of God, for it is in all places, as here and in every place: and yet ye will say, that where soever the deity is, there is also the humanity: and so ye will make him no body, but a fantastical body, and not a body in deed.
New. I will promise you that seemeth to me a very great heresie: for heauen and earth are not able to conteine the diuine power of God, for it is in all places, as here and in euery place: and yet ye will say, that where soeuer the deitie is, there is also the humnanitie: and so ye wil make him no body, but a phantasticall body, and not a body in deede.
Thornton. Nay, we do not say he is in all places, as the deity is, but if it please him, he may be in all places with the deity.
Thornton. Nay, we do not say he is in al places, as the deitie is, but if it please him, he may be in all places with the deitie.
New. I promise you that it seemeth to me as great an heresy as ever I heard of in my life,1 and I dare not grant it, least I should deny Christ to be a very man, and that were against all the scriptures.
New. I promise you that it seemeth to me as great an heresie as euer I heard of in my life,1 and I dare not graunt it, least I shoulde deny Christ to be a very man, and that were agaynst all the scriptures.
