that_o in_o deed_n they_o do_v as_o for_o example_n we_o know_v that_o the_o right_a faith_n beléeve_v christ_n jesus_n to_o be_v both_o god_n and_o man_n which_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n in_o

be_v against_o the_o nature_n of_o a_o true_a body_n so_o to_o be_v then_o they_o become_v ubiquitary_n and_o say_v that_o because_o the_o godhead_n of_o christ_n be_v every_o where_o therefore_o his_o humanity_n be_v every_o where_o but_o this_o be_v no_o good_a consequent_a for_o the_o godhead_n and_o humanity_n be_v of_o several_a nature_n and_o if_o his_o body_n and_o flesh_n be_v every_o where_n as_o his_o godhead_n be_v how_o be_v that_o true_a which_o the_o angel_n speak_v saying_n surrexit_fw-la non_fw-la est_fw-la hic_fw-la he_o be_v rise_v he_o be_v not_o here_o for_o these_o word_n show_v that_o his_o body_n and_o flesh_n be_v not_o every_o where_n 28.6_o again_o if_o he_o be_v every_o where_n in_o respect_n of_o his_o humanity_n how_o be_v it_o true_a that_o he_o ascend_v into_o heaven_n for_o that_o word_n ascension_n do_v show_v that_o his_o bodily_a presence_n do_v remove_v from_o one_o place_n to_o another_o and_o then_o be_v it_o not_o in_o that_o place_n from_o whence_o it_o do_v remove_v last_o it_o be_v the_o property_n of_o a_o divine_a nature_n to_o be_v every_o where_o and_o therefore_o while_o they_o defend_v this_o ubiquity_n of_o the_o flesh_n of_o christ_n it_o be_v as_o much_o as_o if_o they_o shall_v say_v that_o the_o flesh_n of_o christ_n be_v turn_v into_o god_n which_o be_v a_o groosse_n heresy_n and_o thus_o it_o appear_v that_o the_o papist_n do_v with_o the_o eutichian_o deny_v that_o christ_n have_v a_o true_a body_n when_o they_o hold_v that_o contrary_a to_o the_o nature_n of_o a_o true_a body_n it_o may_v be_v in_o diverse_a place_n at_o once_o yea_o every_o where_o and_o therefore_o deny_v christ_n to_o have_v a_o true_a body_n they_o be_v not_o the_o true_a church_n and_o somuch_o for_o their_o error_n

papist_n will_v yield_v with_o we_o that_o it_o consist_v in_o these_o three_o point_n namely_o that_o he_o be_v both_o a_o prophet_n a_o priest_n and_o a_o king_n this_o i_o say_v in_o word_n they_o will_v acknowledge_v but_o in_o deed_n and_o verity_n they_o do_v not_o for_o in_o respect_n that_o christ_n be_v our_o prophet_n which_o shall_v and_o do_v reveal_v his_o father_n will_n unto_o the_o world_n we_o ought_v to_o be_v content_a with_o his_o voice_n and_o search_v no_o further_o than_o he_o have_v reveal_v in_o his_o scripture_n but_o the_o papist_n be_v not_o so_o content_v but_o they_o hold_v that_o their_o
and_o their_o lawful_a prince_n he_o will_v not_o only_o pardon_v without_o exception_n but_o he_o will_v abet_v they_o in_o their_o devilish_a devise_v and_o persuade_v they_o forward_o in_o their_o
