will_v yet_o be_v possible_a for_o christ_n to_o enter_v entire_a through_o all_o p._n 15._o here_o be_v one_o thing_n omit_v and_o that_o be_v to_o prove_v that_o as_o the_o door_n be_v shut_v when_o they_o assemble_v for_o fear_v of_o the_o jew_n as_o the_o evangelist_n say_v so_o they_o be_v not_o open_v by_o christ_n when_o he_o come_v and_o stand_v in_o the_o midst_n of_o they_o till_o which_o be_v prove_v we_o shall_v say_v the_o letter_n of_o scripture_n be_v for_o we_o and_o that_o christ_n body_n have_v flesh_n and_o bone_n may_v be_v behold_v and_o feel_v and_o do_v neither_o come_v through_o the_o wall_n nor_o indeed_o can_v do_v so_o long_o as_o it_o remain_v true_a that_o the_o penetration_n of_o dimension_n be_v impossible_a but_o i_o have_v need_v to_o recall_v this_o for_o i_o be_o for_o ever_o silence_v if_o what_o he_o say_v be_v true_a that_o the_o answerer_n argue_v perfidious_o of_o christ_n as_o if_o he_o be_v not_o god_n not_o distinguish_v betweeen_n his_o glorious_a body_n and_o we_o for_o as_o god_n all_o thing_n be_v possible_a to_o he_o but_o where_o be_v that_o perfidiousness_n since_o no_o more_o be_v deny_v to_o christ_n than_o be_v to_o god_n for_o because_o all_o thing_n be_v possible_a to_o god_n do_v he_o think_v that_o it_o be_v perfidious_a to_o say_v that_o it_o be_v not_o possible_a for_o god_n to_o be_v ignorant_a or_o unfaithful_a or_o circumscribe_v and_o so_o to_o exist_v after_o the_o manner_n of_o a_o body_n or_o do_v he_o think_v it_o be_v perfidious_a to_o say_v it_o be_v impossible_a to_o make_v the_o body_n of_o christ_n to_o have_v be_v existent_a in_o different_a time_n and_o real_o to_o have_v be_v existent_a before_o it_o be_v existent_a and_o yet_o not_o to_o be_v existent_a till_o it_o be_v or_o be_v it_o perfidious_a to_o say_v it_o be_v impossible_a to_o make_v the_o circumscribe_v body_n of_o christ_n to_o be_v omnipresent_v the_o last_o he_o seem_v to_o affirm_v by_o his_o often_o repeat_v maxim_n that_o christ_n be_v not_o but_o where_o he_o be_v entire_a and_o place_v therein_o the_o difference_n between_o christ_n glorious_a body_n and_o we_o but_o of_o that_o more_o anon_o our_o author_n as_o he_o will_v prove_v the_o body_n of_o christ_n may_v lose_v all_o the_o property_n of_o a_o body_n so_o also_o that_o it_o may_v be_v contain_v under_o the_o form_n of_o bread_n and_o wine_n that_o be_v to_o all_o appearance_n it_o may_v have_v all_o the_o property_n of_o those_o element_n and_o yet_o be_v none_o of_o they_o but_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n alone_o and_o this_o he_o reason_n upon_o after_o this_o manner_n where_o be_v the_o difficulty_n to_o believe_v but_o this_o may_v be_v as_o the_o holy_a ghost_n under_o the_o form_n of_o a_o dove_n with_o feather_n beak_n wing_n and_o all_o the_o property_n of_o a_o fowl_n or_o in_o the_o form_n of_o tongue_n of_o fire_n both_o which_o to_o our_o eye_n be_v but_o as_o a_o perfect_a dove_n and_o as_o perfect_a tongue_n yet_o those_o different_a object_n to_o the_o eye_n of_o flesh_n be_v but_o one_o holy_a ghost_n to_o the_o eye_n of_o faith._n therefore_o nothing_o can_v be_v more_o plain_a than_o that_o object_n may_v be_v one_o thing_n to_o the_o eye_n of_o flesh_n and_o another_o thing_n to_o the_o eye_n of_o faith._n so_o in_o the_o sacrament_n to_o our_o sight_n and_o taste_n be_v plain_a bread_n and_o wine_n but_o to_o our_o faith_n in_o god_n word_n it_o be_v the_o real_a and_o entire_a body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ._n a_o instance_n and_o inference_n not_o at_o all_o to_o the_o purpose_n for_o the_o question_n be_v not_o whether_o a_o spiritual_a be_v may_v not_o be_v under_o the_o appearance_n of_o a_o body_n for_o so_o it_o be_v with_o the_o angel_n when_o they_o appear_v as_o man_n and_o the_o holy_a ghost_n when_o it_o appear_v like_o a_o dove_n neither_o be_v the_o question_n whether_o a_o object_n may_v be_v one_o thing_n to_o the_o eye_n of_o flesh_n and_o another_o to_o the_o eye_n of_o faith_n for_o so_o our_o saviour_n appear_v to_o be_v man_n and_o yet_o be_v god_n as_o well_o as_o man._n all_o which_o yet_o be_v beside_o the_o matter_n for_o in_o these_o case_n there_o be_v a_o invisible_a be_v under_o a_o visible_a representation_n or_o a_o invisible_a be_v in_o union_n to_o a_o visible_a but_o here_o be_v two_o object_n visible_a in_o their_o own_o nature_n viz._n the_o body_n of_o christ_n and_o bread_n and_o the_o one_o of_o these_o so_o turn_v into_o the_o other_o that_o there_o be_v all_o the_o property_n of_o a_o visible_a be_v which_o be_v not_o there_o viz._n bread_n and_o none_o of_o the_o property_n of_o that_o visible_a be_v which_o be_v there_o viz._n the_o body_n of_o christ._n so_o that_o the_o question_n shall_v be_v thus_o propose_v whether_o what_o be_v a_o object_n of_o sense_n may_v have_v all_o the_o property_n of_o another_o sensible_a object_n without_o be_v that_o thing_n which_o they_o be_v the_o property_n of_o and_o none_o of_o the_o property_n belong_v to_o its_o own_o nature_n and_o be_v arg._n 3._o the_o protestant_a answerer_n show_v that_o the_o letter_n of_o scripture_n be_v for_o we_o that_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n as_o it_o ascend_v so_o be_v to_o continue_v in_o heaven_n till_o the_o conclusion_n of_o the_o world_n and_o so_o can_v be_v in_o heaven_n and_o earth_n at_o the_o same_o time_n this_o our_o author_n call_v a_o barren_a conceit_n but_o as_o barren_a as_o it_o be_v it_o be_v true_a and_o have_v scripture_n and_o reason_n on_o its_o side_n notwithstanding_o what_o he_o have_v object_v to_o the_o contrary_n the_o first_o argument_n he_o offer_v in_o answer_n to_o this_o be_v that_o he_o be_v a_o perfect_a and_o omnipotent-god_n and_o that_o he_o may_v be_v and_o yet_o not_o
