M. Hardinge. The .4. Diuision.
To conclude shortely: If Christe woulde so haue beene vnderstanded, as though he had meante to
geue but a Figure onely of his Bodie, it had beene no neede for him to haue alleged his Omnipotencie,
and almighty power to his Disciples, thereby the rather to bringe them to beleefe of his True Bodie to
be geuen them to eate. Hoc vos scandalizat? Doth this offende you? saith he. VVhat if you see the
Sonne of man ascende, where he was before? it is the spirite that geueth life &c. As though he had
saide: ye consider onely my humanitie, that seemeth weake, and fraile, neither doo you esteeme my di∣uine
power by the greate miracles I haue wrought: But when as ye shal see me by power of my God∣head
ascende into Heauen, from whence I came vnto you, wil you then also stande in doubte, whether
ye may beleeue, that I geue you my very Bodie to be eaten? Thus by signifieing his diuine power,
Christe confounded their vnbeleefe, touchinge the veritie, and substance of his Bodie, that he promised
to geue them in meate.
Notes
A simple proufe. For Christe like vvise she∣vveth his Omnipo∣tent povver in the vva∣ter of Bap∣tisme.
