therefore_o can_v as_o impossible_a be_v idolatrous_a as_o the_o papist_n in_o the_o worship_v their_o breaden_a god_n can_v possible_o but_o be_v our_o reason_n be_v that_o that_o be_v a_o article_n of_o faith_n in_o the_o primitive_a church_n of_o god_n whereunto_o we_o may_v just_o appeal_v in_o a_o doctrine_n never_o to_o be_v repeal_v it_o be_v this_o that_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o any_o creature_n to_o be_v in_o two_o place_n at_o once_o not_o except_v the_o sacred_a body_n of_o christ_n which_o their_o catholic_a doctrine_n they_o profess_v for_o two_o cause_n one_o to_o avouch_v the_o prerogative_n of_o god_n to_o who_o the_o existence_n in_o diverse_a place_n at_o one_o time_n be_v proper_o essential_a and_o this_o they_o ground_v upon_o that_o divine_a foundation_n the_o scripture_n of_o god_n psalm_n 39.6_o wherein_o the_o psalmist_n in_o profess_v the_o deity_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n say_v whether_o shall_v i_o go_v from_o thy_o spirit_n if_o i_o go_v up_o to_o heaven_n thou_o be_v there_o if_o down_o to_o hell_n thou_o be_v there_o also_o and_o if_o to_o the_o outermost_a part_n of_o the_o sea_n thither_o shall_v thy_o hand_n lead_v i_o the_o argument_n thus_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n be_v here_o and_o there_o and_o yonder_o therefore_o it_o be_v in_o diverse_a place_n at_o one_o time_n and_o consequent_o god_n because_o by_o the_o same_o essential_a property_n he_o be_v as_o well_o in_o three_o millians_n of_o place_n and_o indeed_o everywhere_o as_o he_o be_v in_o any_o three_o or_o two_o and_o this_o they_o confirm_v by_o two_o circumstance_n first_o that_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n be_v at_o one_o time_n in_o diverse_a prophet_n jeremy_n in_o judea_n daniel_n in_o babylon_n ezechiel_n in_o chobar_n this_o in_o the_o old_a testament_n according_o in_o the_o new_a the_o same_o spirit_n of_o god_n at_o one_o and_o the_o same_o time_n be_v in_o the_o apostle_n when_o they_o be_v disperse_v in_o diverse_a nation_n in_o the_o world_n for_o preach_v the_o gospel_n of_o christ_n there_o second_o reason_n of_o this_o their_o dispute_n be_v to_o preserve_v the_o integrity_n of_o the_o body_n and_o humanity_n of_o christ_n according_a to_o that_o caution_n of_o augustine_n cavendum_fw-la est_fw-la ut_fw-la ita_fw-la divinitatem_fw-la christi_fw-la astruamus_fw-la ne_fw-la humanitatem_fw-la ejus_fw-la auferamus_fw-la we_o be_v so_o to_o defend_v the_o divine_a nature_n of_o christ_n that_o we_o destroy_v not_o his_o bodily_a and_o human_a nature_n and_o therefore_o they_o distinguish_v both_o nature_n in_o respect_n of_o local_a existence_n argue_v thus_o although_o the_o deity_n be_v in_o heaven_n yet_o be_v it_o then_o on_o earth_n also_o and_o if_o on_o earth_n than_o be_v it_o in_o heaven_n but_o the_o human_a nature_n of_o christ_n if_o it_o be_v on_o earth_n it_o be_v not_o in_o heaven_n and_o when_o in_o heaven_n than_o be_v it_o not_o on_o earth_n this_o be_v the_o catholic_a faith_n in_o those_o perfect_v and_o pure_a time_n of_o christianity_n and_o that_o this_o be_v believe_v of_o they_o as_o a_o article_n of_o faith_n be_v as_o plain_a because_o they_o maintain_v that_o truth_n against_o the_o heretic_n of_o their_o time_n who_o impugn_v the_o essential_a property_n of_o christ_n body_n with_o one_o article_n of_o ancient_a faith_n do_v strangle_v
