Answer.
The body of Christ should be considered .ii. manner of ways, first as it was borne of that blessed virgin, being in deed our very natural brother: Th• as it was offered upon the cross for the redemption of the world. And thus offered & put to his passion upon y• cross, we consider him in the sacrament: for the bread there used is called the body of Christ broken: & y• wine the blood shedding. But the presence of christs natural body, or y• opinion of his presence, they so little profit, that in very deed it doeth rather hurt, and harm, as Christ said.
