They spend here wind in vaine to ob∣iect the omnipotencie of God, to shewe that the bodie of Christ, may be both in heauen and in the Sacramentall bread at one and the same time. For the question is not here, what God can do, but what he will do, and what his will and good plea∣sure is. And his will is, that Christ be like his brethren in a 1.1all things sinne onely b 1.2 ex∣cepted. Therefore his will is, that he haue a true bodie, that is, a finite bodie, and li∣mited in place. Againe, albeit God be omnipotent, yet can he not effect contra∣ries, as that any thing at one time both be, and be not, for that he can not c 1.3 lye nor de∣nie d 1.4 himselfe, for this is against his na∣ture. And these propositions or sentences are meere contradictorie; Christes bodie is a true bodie: Christes body is not a true bodie, but an infinite.
