agree_v not_o with_o the_o scripture_n which_o show_v we_o the_o ascension_n of_o christ_n into_o heaven_n to_o be_v after_o his_o death_n nor_o can_v i_o conceive_v that_o it_o be_v every_o where_n

so_o such_o a_o alteration_n in_o humane_a nature_n can_v not_o have_v be_v without_o a_o wonderful_a sign_n as_o be_v so_o prodigious_a that_o it_o can_v be_v conceive_v without_o the_o destruction_n of_o christ_n body_n &_o indeed_o it_o be_v impossible_a to_o apprehend_v a_o thing_n circumscribe_v in_o a_o place_n when_o it_o be_v not_o in_o a_o certain_a place_n full_o contain_v but_o every_o

other_o for_o in_o all_o the_o school-divinity_n in_o the_o old_a philosophy_n and_o in_o nature_n there_o be_v but_o three_o natural_a proper_a way_n of_o be_v in_o a_o place_n circumscriptiuè_fw-la

angel_n and_o soul_n of_o man_n separate_v from_o their_o body_n definitive_o and_o god_n alone_o be_v repletive_o in_o many_o place_n for_o it_o be_v that_o manner_n of_o be_v in_o a_o place_n by_o which_o god_n be_v distinguish_v from_o his_o creature_n because_o god_n not_o his_o creature_n nec_fw-la loco_fw-la includitur_fw-la nec_fw-la loco_fw-la excluditur_fw-la nec_fw-la loco_fw-la

the_o body_n of_o christ_n which_o be_v before_o in_o order_n to_o a_o certain_a place_n circumscriptive_o shall_v be_v now_o every_o where_o and_o make_v ex_fw-la finito_fw-la non_fw-la finitum_fw-la from_o finite_a not_o sinite_fw-la beside_o you_o must_v know_v that_o christ_n body_n be_v not_o every_o where_o because_o it_o be_v a_o glorify_a body_n for_o if_o it_o be_v so_o all_o glorify_a body_n will_v be_v every_o where_o nor_o because_o the_o humane_a nature_n be_v unite_v with_o the_o divine_a to_o the_o person_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n for_o it_o be_v so_o from_o the_o very_a instant_n of_o his_o conception_n which_o teach_v we_o that_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n be_v not_o in_o the_o bread_n with_o the_o bread_n and_o under_o the_o bread_n but_o if_o you_o instance_n and_o say_v then_o follow_v the_o separation_n of_o the_o two_o nature_n of_o christ_n i_o answer_v that_o such_o a_o thing_n do_v not_o follow_v for_o although_o the_o humane_a nature_n of_o christ_n be_v not_o every_o where_o yet_o the_o divine_a nature_n be_v and_o therefore_o it_o can_v be_v separate_a from_o the_o humane_a nature_n than_o it_o remain_v that_o this_o be_v my_o body_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o this_o bread_n be_v the_o sign_n and_o sacrament_n of_o my_o body_n now_o it_o may_v be_v that_o you_o will_v say_v by_o all_o what_o you_o have_v say_v we_o can_v well_o gather_v how_o christ_n be_v present_a in_o the_o sacrament_n but_o rather_o it_o seem_v that_o you_o deny_v the_o presence_n of_o our_o lord_n in_o it_o to_o which_o i_o answer_v and_o say_v that_o christ_n be_v present_a in_o the_o sacrament_n but_o you_o must_v observe_v that_o by_o the_o sacrament_n i_o understand_v the_o sacramental_a action_n in_o concreto_fw-la comprehend_v the_o sign_n and_o the_o thing_n signify_v according_a to_o which_o sense_n our_o learned_a doctor_n use_v to_o say_v that_o christ_n be_v not_o present_a in_o the_o bread_n but_o in_o the_o sacrament_n because_o in_o the_o sacramental_a action_n the_o thing_n signify_v christ_n our_o bless_a saviour_n be_v give_v together_o with_o the_o sign_n to_o the_o believer_n but_o observe_v that_o christ_n be_v

know_v that_o beside_o the_o local_a presence_n of_o a_o thing_n of_o which_o we_o have_v speak_v and_o which_o we_o have_v say_v be_v threefold_a there_o be_v also_o presence_n of_o 3._o several_a

because_o in_o the_o spiritual_a reception_n of_o the_o sacrament_n we_o apply_v unto_o ourselves_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o jesus_n christ_n by_o faith_n and_o so_o we_o be_v unite_v unto_o

participation_n of_o the_o sacrament_n we_o receive_v the_o fruit_n and_o virtue_n of_o his_o death_n and_o passion_n but_o observe_v that_o the_o first_o presence_n of_o christ_n which_o be_v symbolical_a be_v give_v to_o the_o wicked_a but_o the_o spiritual_a and_o virtual_a presence_n to_o the_o faithful_a although_o then_o the_o body_n of_o jesus_n christ_n be_v as_o far_o from_o we_o as_o heaven_n be_v from_o the_o earth_n yet_o the_o real_a sacramental_a presence_n remain_v for_o you_o may_v know_v that_o presentia_fw-la alicujus_fw-la rei_fw-la non_fw-la opponitur_fw-la

our_o assertion_n but_o do_v rather_o confirm_v it_o and_o oblige_v we_o to_o say_v that_o this_o be_v my_o body_n signify_v nothing_o else_o but_o this_o bread_n be_v the_o sign_n and_o sacrament_n of_o my_o body_n now_o let_v we_o conclude_v with_o application_n and_o learn_v from_o thence_o the_o great_a and_o exceed_a affection_n of_o our_o lord_n towards_o we_o who_o will_v not_o expire_v upon_o the_o cross_n before_o he_o have_v give_v we_o the_o precious_a token_n of_o our_o redemption_n be_v it_o not_o enough_o for_o our_o bless_a saviour_n to_o assume_v our_o humane_a nature_n to_o manifest_v in_o it_o his_o father_n unto_o the_o corrupt_a world_n and_o propose_v by_o it_o his_o sacred_a counsel_n to_o sinner_n be_v it_o not_o enough_o for_o our_o bless_a saviour_n to_o be_v

the_o angel_n that_o come_v and_o stand_v at_o the_o altar_n be_v our_o bless_a saviour_n as_o the_o best_a of_o interpreter_n teach_v we_o god_n manifest_v in_o the_o flesh_n a_o object_n which_o

3.1_o christ_n our_o high-priest_n who_o offer_v a_o sacrifice_n not_o of_o beast_n but_o of_o himself_o upon_o the_o altar_n of_o the_o cross_n and_o therefore_o at_o his_o come_n into_o the_o

in_o heaven_n the_o militant_a church_n a_o profound_a silence_n but_o that_o you_o may_v have_v a_o great_a satisfaction_n i_o beseech_v you_o look_v upon_o the_o 3._o verse_n of_o our_o chapter_n and_o you_o will_v easy_o see_v the_o cause_n of_o this_o silence_n to_o be_v christ_n our_o redeemer_n for_o it_o be_v say_v in_o that_o verse_n that_o another_o angel_n christ_n our_o priest_n and_o

that_o christ_n be_v our_o priest_n according_a to_o both_o his_o nature_n our_o altar_n according_a to_o his_o divine_a nature_n for_o as_o the_o altar_n sanctify_v the_o oblation_n mat._n 23.19_o so_o christ_n as_o god_n sanctify_v himself_o in_o his_o humane_a nature_n according_a to_o which_o humane_a nature_n christ_n proper_o be_v our_o sacrifice_n as_o you_o may_v see_v in_o the_o first_o

nature_n moreover_o it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o angel_n have_v a_o golden_a censer_n to_o teach_v we_o that_o christ_n give_v god_n the_o father_n a_o perfect_a and_o eternal_a satisfaction_n that_o we_o may_v be_v deliver_v from_o the_o eternal_a slavery_n of_o the_o prince_n of_o darkness_n which_o our_o sin_n have_v make_v we_o subject_a to_o and_o further_o it_o say_v that_o much_o incense_n

he_o through_o his_o intercession_n which_o alone_o without_o the_o intercession_n of_o the_o depart_a saint_n be_v sufficient_a for_o all_o those_o that_o he_o redeem_v by_o his_o precious_a blood_n as_o you_o may_v see_v in_o the_o 4._o verse_n where_o it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o smoke_n of_o the_o incense_n which_o come_v with_o the_o prayer_n of_o the_o saint_n ascend_v up_o before_o god_n out_o of_o the_o angel_n hand_n all_o which_o thing_n can_v not_o but_o cause_n silence_n in_o heaven_n the_o militant_a church_n and_o ravish_v with_o admiration_n all_o the_o intelligent_a

and_o fill_v it_o with_o fire_n of_o the_o altar_n as_o we_o read_v in_o the_o 5._o verse_n and_o cast_v it_o into_o the_o earth_n to_o prepare_v by_o that_o sacred_a sire_n the_o minister_n of_o

2.3_o the_o church_n can_v not_o but_o keep_v silence_n and_o further_o hear_v voice_n thundering_n lightning_n and_o earthquake_n at_o the_o open_n of_o the_o great_a and_o sublime_a mystery_n of_o
