THe thing signified, that is to saye: Iesus Christe with al his benefits is alwayes presented ••••••itably, and with∣out any fraud on Gods pa••te, which is true in his premis, so that the signe and the thing signified be alwayes knyt to∣gether in this respect, that is to say. God offereth both the one & the other truly▪ & not by the vertue of woordes pronoun∣ced,
(for it is for••ery to speake so) nor by a naturall and local coniunction, for the body of Iesus Christ is not a fantastical body, nor an inuisible body which occu∣pieth no place, nor by the holines of him which pronounceth the wordes orday∣ned of God, or ministreth the Sacra∣mentes. (For the Sonne of man cannot make voyde the will of God) but by the vertue of the holye Ghoste▪ which wor∣keth, that notwithstāding Iesus Christ being as he is man corporallye in hea∣uē absent from vs, as the scripture wit∣nesseth, yet neuerthelesse is presented truly and verely to vs, so that our fayth do embrace him in spirit inwardlye, as the signes do represent to vs outward∣ly, lysting vp our mindes into heauen, for to enioy and possesse him more effec∣tually, and ioyne vs to him.
