M. Hardinge. The .12. Diuision.

Now to be shorte, where as the chiefe argumentes, that be made against the beinge of Christes Bodie in many places at once, be deduced of nature, in respecte that this article seemeth to them, to abolishe nature, it may please thē to vnderstande, that God, who is auctour of nature, can by his power doo with a Bodie that, whiche is aboue the nature of a Bodie, nature not destroied, but keapte and preserued whole. VVhiche Plato the Heathen Philosopher woulde soone haue been induced to beleue. if he were aliue. VVho asked, what was nature, answeared, Quod Deus vult, that whiche God wil.* 1.1 And therefore wee beleeue, that Enoch, and Elias, yet mortal by nature, doo by power of God liue in Bodie, and that aboue na••ure. Abacue was by the same power caught vp, and in a mo∣ment caried from Iewrie to Babylon, his nature reserued whole. S. Peter by God accordinge to nature walked on the earth, the same by God bisides nature, walked vpon the waters. Christe after condi∣tion of nature assumpted, suffred death in Bodie: the same Christe by his diuine power entred with his Bodie in to his Disciples through doores closed.

Notes
