Answ. What Sight it was that Paul had of Christ, is not declared; however, it is evident it was a Vision that he had of him, for so he calleth it: but that this proves the Body of Christ to be in two places at once, doth not in the least appear. Stephen also saw Christ; and if it should be granted, as some affirm, that he saw his real glorified Body, doth it follow, the Body of Christ was then in two Places? The Heavens might be opened, and his Sight so strengthened, that he might have a sight of the blessed Jesus, whom Stephen said, he saw standing on the right-hand of God.1

Object. The Papists say, Christ's real Body is in the Eucharist invisibly and so the Angels might mean, he was not there visibly, when they said, He is not here, he is risen.
Answ. To this saith Mr. Pool, If a Man being sought after, should hide himself in some Corner or Hole of the House, and Pursuers should ask for him; could any with a good Conscience say, he is not here, because he is invisible? (none sure but a Papist, who is so well skilled in Equivocation, would give such an Answer.) Our Saviour every where makes these two Opposites, his being in the World, and going to Heaven.
