M. Hardinge. The .14. Diuision.

And that al absurdities, and Carnal grosnes be seuered from our thoughtes, where true Christen people beleeue Christes Bodie to be in many places at once,* 1.1 they vnderstande it so to be in a Mysterie. Nowe, to be in a Mysterie, is not to be comprehended in a place, but by the power of God to be made present in sorte, and maner as he him selfe knoweth, verily so, as no reason of man can atteine it, and so, as it may be shewed by no examples in Nature. VVhereof that notable saieinge of S. Augustine may very wel be reported. O Homo, si rationem à me poscis, non erit mirabile: exemplū quae∣ritur, non erit singulare:* 1.2 that is, O Man, if (153)* 1.3 (herein) thou require reason, it shal not be mar∣uelous: seeke for the like example, and then it shal not be singular. If Goddes workinge be compre∣hended by reason, (saithe Holy Gregorie) it is not wonderouse: neither Faithe hath meede, whereto Mannes reason geueth proufe.
