IESVIT.

First, we cannot imagine, that the whole body of Christ can be contained in the compasse of a small Hoast. [ B] But it is not more incredible, that in a thing of small quan∣tititie, for example the wing of a Flye, there should be so many parts, as vnfolded and laid together would couer the whole face of the world, both of heauen and earth. And yet it is demonstrable in Philosophy, That euen in the wing of a Flye there are so many parts, as broad and long as the wing, though still thinner and thinner, that Almightie God separating and vnfolding them, may therewith couer [ C] the whole world. For certaine it is, that some finite num∣ber of such parts, so separated each of them as long and as broad as a Flyes wing, would couer the face of the whole world: certaine also it is, That the wing of the Flye, is still diuisible into more and more such parts, so that no finite number is assignable, but God may still separate from that wing a greater number, without any end: therefore it is certaine, that in the wing of a Flye, there is so much quan∣tity [ D] as is sufficient to couer the face of the whole world, both of heauen and earth, if God would but separate and vnfold the same. Is not this Secret of Philosophy as in∣credible to carnall Imagination, as the being of Christs body, within a small Hoast? Wee that cannot com∣prehend things we see with eyes, and feele with hands, certainely we shall haue much adoe at the day of Judge∣ment, to iustifie our not beleeuing any part of Gods word, by reason of the seeming absurditie thereof.
