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. John 13.1. the Hour was come, that he should depart out of this World unto the Father. It seems they could have taught him the Art of going thither, and remaining here at the same instant. They have an excellent Faculty, as he had, who said, Since he could not give content in going, nor staying; he would not go, nor stay: For they know how a Man may both go from a place, and stay in it, at the same time. I know not what can be more plain, if they did not wilfully shut their Eyes. Christ saith expressly, Me you have not always with you: That is, his bodily Presence; for as touching his Divine Presence, so he is always with his People unto the end of the World, Mat. 28. ult. Besides, their Doctrine destroys the Truth of Christ's human Nature. We read of Christ, He was in all points like unto us, (Sin only excepted.) His Body was like ours, and therefore impossible it should be in a thousand places at once, (which according to their Doctrine it is.) This turns Christ's Body into a Spirit; nay, indeed they make his Body more spiritual than a Spirit; for a Spirit cannot be in several Places, divided from it self. The Soul of Man, if it be entire both in the whole, and in every part of the Body; yet it is not divided from it self, nor from its Body, nor can it be in two Bodies at the same time, as all confess; mu•h less can it be in Ten Thousand Bodies at once. When ever any Angel comes to Earth, he leaves Heaven. So that this quite destroys the Truth of Christ's human Body.
