Bland. If you be so much discontented with me, I will say no more; yet I would all men heard, that you say the glorified body of Christ is in the sacrament after the consecration.
Harps. I may call thee gross ignorant. Thou gross ignorant, is not the same body glorified, that was born of the virgin Mary? Is it then any absurdity to grant that to be in the sacrament?

And yet no inconvenience, although his natural body was not crucified; for when he was born of the virgin Mary without pain, was not that the act of a glorified body? and when he walked on the water, and when he came into the house to his apostles, the doors being shut fast, were not these the acts of a glorified body?
