For in the one place he saith, Me ye have not al∣wayes with you; and in the other, I am with you to the end of the world.
[Answ.] These two are not opposite; because CHRIST predicates contrary things of himselfe, in respect of divers natures; whereby he is not onely man, but God also: for as Man we have not his corporall presence, neither shall we have it before his returne from heaven, he being now ascended into heaven, where he shall remaine, untill he come unto judge∣ment. But as he is God, so the presence of his grace and Spirit doth never leave or depart from us, but is with us unto the end of the world.
[Argum.] We, against the corporall presence of Christ in the Eucharist object this place; The poore ye have alwayes, but me ye shall not have alwayes.
To this the Papists answer by this distinction, that Christ is not now present in body, Visibili & corporali praesentia: by his Visible or corporall pre∣sence: or, Secundum humanam conversationem, after his conversation, or as he was conversant a∣mong men; but invisible he may be present, and after another manner. Bellarm. de Euchar. lib. 1. Cap. 14. resp. ad loc. 4.
[Answ.] This distinction is thus by Scripture over∣throwne: St. Peter saith, The heavens must con∣taine or receive CHRIST till his comming againe, Acts. 3.21. Whence this followes plainly, He cannot in his body be absent from heaven till that time; therefore he cannot any way be present in earth. If they answer as they doe, that he may be in heaven and in the Eucharist all at one time; we then confute them with this place, He is not here, for he is risen. Matth. 28.6. Now this had bene no good argument, if the body of Christ could have beene in two places at once,
