6 Sixthly, this assertion accuseth Christ of manifest ⟨p. 32⟩lying and untruth. For he himself hath said, Math. 26.11. The poor ye have always with you, but me ye shall not have always. And yet this people dare affirm, that we have him continually, not in respect of his spiritual power and presence only, in which respect he filleth all places, both in heaven and in earth, and is said to be with the believers even unto the end of the world Matth. 28.20. But in respect of corporal and bodily presence, then the which nothing can be more absurd, as hath been before showed.
6 Sixthly, this assertion accuseth Christ of manifest ⟨p. 32⟩lying and vntrueth. For he himselfe hath said, Math. 26.11. The poore yee haue alwayes with you, but me ye shall not haue alwaies. And yet this people dare affirme, that wee haue him continually, not in respect of his spirituall power and presence onely, in which respect he filleth all places, both in heauen and in earth, and is sayd to be with the beleeuers euen vnto the end of the world Matth. 28.20. But in respect of corporall and bodily presence, then the which nothing can be more absurde, as hath been before shewed.

I will in a word or two, as it were, make a short, yet a sound, sufficient, and true answer I hope, to every one of them severally and by them selves.
