the Finger, the Hand here, and thus farre broader than the Toe,
and accordingly distinctly in other parts. But Hîc, and Huc∣••sque;
Here and There, thus farre and so farre, being Relatives
of Space, and Place, do demonstratively shew that that Exten∣sion
of distinct parts of the Body, which they have in them∣selves
divisibly, the same they must necessarily have in respect
of the Vbi, Place, or Space, wherein the Body is. If therefore
you will not Heretically teach a Mathematicall, or Phantasticall
Body o•• Christ, you must deny the Article of Trent, untill you
can beleeve, and make good, that a part of a divisible Body, lon∣ger
[ 10] or shorter, broader or narrower, can be (and that equally) in
one indivisible point.
This is confirmed by the Essence of Christ his glorified Body,
(as you confesse it to be) now in Heaven, possessing a Reall
place in the sayd proportion of Spaces of length, and breadth,
as it had here upon earth, which it doth by the naturall Mag∣nitude,
or Quantity thereof. But the sayd naturall Magni∣tude,
or quantity of the sayd Body of Christ is (according to
your wone generall Doctrine) in this Sacrament. Therefore
must it have the same Commensuration of Space, although not
[ 20] of the same Space which is one earth.
Wee should be loath to trouble your wits with these specu∣lations,
if that the necessity of the Cause (by reason of the Ab∣surdities,
of your Romish profession) did not inforce us hereun∣to;
Therefore must you suffer us a little to sport at your trifling
seriousnesse, who writing of this Divine Sacrament, and seeing
it to be round, solid, broken, moulded, in the one kind; and
liquid, frozen, and sowring in the other, do attribute all these
to Quantities, and Qualities, and Accidents, without any other
subject at all. So then by the Romish Faith wee shall be constrai∣ned
[ 30] to beleeve, in effect, that the Cup is filled with Mathe∣maticall
lines, the Mouse eating the Hoast is sed with colours,
and formes: that it is Coldnesse that is frozen, and Roundnesse
which weigheth downe, and falleth to the ground; as if you
should describe a Romish Communicant to be a creature clo∣thed
with Shadowes, armed with Idaea's, fed with Abstracts,
augmented with Fancies, second Intentions, and Individuall
Vagues, and consisting wholly of Chimaera's.
