Vnderstanding of controversies. Cleering of some cases of conscience. By John Wollebius. Doctor of Divinity, and ordinary professor in the University of Basil.

only_o therefore_o although_o christ_n body_n by_o local_a presence_n be_v far_o distant_a from_o the_o symbol_n as_o heaven_n be_v from_o earth_n yet_o there_o be_v a_o sacramental_a presence_n presence_n be_v not_o oppose_v to_o distance_n but_o to_o absence_n xvii_o neither_o be_v therefore_o sacrament_n empty_a sign_n because_o the_o symbol_n and_o thing_n signify_v be_v not_o local_o
