28 And because they brag ye the Fathers are of their side, avoiding tediousness sake, this one thing he saith, whatsoever they scrape out of Augustine, the same doth make nothing for them but for us wholly: Augustine sayeth,1 that bodies if spaces & places be taken from them, shall be no where, & because they shall be no where, they shall not be at all.
28 And bicause they brag ye the Fathers are of their side, auoyding tediousnesse sake, this one thing he saith, whatsoeuer they scrape out of Augustine, the same doth make nothing for them but for vs wholly: Augustine saieth,1 that bodies if spaces & places be taken frō them, shall be no where, & because they shall be no where, they shall not be at all.
- 1In Psal. 3.

Moreover he washeth away those arguments which they do object, but chiefly the fourth, and concludeth that they by trifling, although not by one word in deed, yet by circumstance do make the flesh of Christ a Spirit.
