Cio) fomake Body and spirit to be the fame? A Spirit is inds' vifle, and fo is not matter ; but yet I make not this the Controvertie. I know not how near Chrift's Body is to a Spirit, which is called fpiritual 5 but if it be ma- terial, and yet in many places at once, it mua be by, Parts ; one Part in oneplace, and another part in another place.
