Thus all these Fathers, as likewise the rest, confess as it were with one mouth, that Christ sitteth at the right hand of his Father, and yet is here present in the Sacrament the same time, that he is in Heaven and in Earth at once, in many and diverse places, one, and the same is everywhere offered, the one true Sacrifice of the Church. And this article is by them so clearly, and plainly uttered, that (151)¹ Figures, significations, tropes, and Metaphors can find no appearance nor colour at all. Whereby the new Masters reasons seem very peevish: Christ is ascended, Ergo, he is not in the Sacrament. Christ is in heaven sitting at the right hand of his Father, Ergo, he is not in Earth. Christs Body is of nature finite, Ergo, it is contained in a place circumscriptively, Ergo, it is not in many places.
