[ 10] OVr Methode requireth to consult, in the first place, in all Questions, with the words of Christ his In∣stitution; but seeing that you can allege nothing for proofe of a Corporall Presence of Christ in this Sacrament, but only a literall Exposition of Christ's words [This is my Body:] which by Scriptures, Fathers, your owne Principles, and by unanswerable Reasons hath beene* 1.1 proved to be most grosly false, wee shall not need to insist further upon that; only wee shall but put you in mind of Saint Pauls words, in teaching the use and end of Christ his Institution of this Sacrament, to wit, The shewing of [ 20] Christ's death untill his coming againe: meaning corporally, at the last day. Which word [VNTILL,] being spoken of a last day, doth exclude your coming againe of Christ in his Cor∣porall Presence every day; for the Apostles word is absolutely spoken of his Bodily Coming, and not of the maner therof; al∣beit other Scripture teach, that his Coming must be in all glo∣rious Visibility. We goe on.
In the Eucharist (saith yourm 1.2 Councell of Trent) is contained truly, really, and substantially the Body, and Blood of Christ: and they account him Accursed, whosoever shall not beleeve this. [ 30] By all which is signified a Corporall maner of presence (excep∣ting onely Relation to place) which we say is, in many respects, impossible, as wee shall prove; but first wee are to remove two Mil-stones, for so you esteeme your Objections, which you cast in our way of Demonstration of a Corporall Presence; First, de facto, from (as you say) Miracles manifesting the same. And the Second is your Pretence of Omnipotencie, for the effectua∣ting that Presence.
