Doctor. What derogation was it to Christ, when the Jews spit in his face?
Smith. If the Jews, being his enemies, did spit in his face, and we being his friends throw him into the draught, which of us have deserved the greatest damnation? Then by your argument, he that doth injury to Christ, shall have a most plenteous salvation. THEN the doctor started away, and would have his humanity incomprehensible, making a comparison between the soul of man and the body of Christ, bringing in to serve his turn, which way Christ came in among his disciples, the doors being shut?
Smith. Although it be said, that when he came the doors were shut, yet have I as much to prove, that the doors opened at his coming, as you have to prove he came through the door. For that Almighty God who brought the disciples out of prison, which yet when search was made was found shut, was able to •et Christ •n at the door, although it were shut: and yet it maketh not for your purpose; for they saw him, […] him, and felt him, and that you cannot say you do, neither is he in more places than one at the same time.
