Mr. Philpot replied, saying, that Mr. Watson had not fully answered St. Augustine by St Augustine, for that in the place mentioned by the dean of Rochester, he doth not only treat of the mortal state of Christ's body before his passion, but also the immortal condition of the same after his resurrection: in which mortal body St. Augustine seemeth plainly to affirm, that Christ is not present upon the earth, neither in form visibly, neither in corporal substance invisibly, as in a few lines after the place above alleged, St. Augustine doth more plainly declare by these words, "Now these two manners of Christ's presence declared, which is by his majesty, providence, and grace, now present in the world, which before his ascension was present in the flesh; and which being now placed at the right hand of the Father, is absent from the world, I think there remains no further dispute about the matter.

THEREFORE, if St. Augustine allowed no other presence of Christ here on earth, but only his divine presence, and that his humanity was in heaven, we ought to confess and believe the same. But if we put a third presence of Christ, that is corporally to be present always in the sacrament of the altar, invisibly, according to your suppositions, whereof St. Augustine maketh no mention in all his works, you seem to judge that which St. Augustine did never comprehend.
