is so absurd that it scarce deserves the compliment of a serious confutation. For if sacramental being be opposed to natural or material, as
noumenon
to
phænomenon
, place is no attribute or possible accident of it
in se
; consequently, no alteration of place relatively to us can affect, much less destroy, it; and even were it otherwise, yet translocation is not destruction; for the body of Christ, according to themselves, doth indeed nourish our souls, even as a fish eaten sustains another fish, but yet with this essential difference, that it ceases not to be and remain itself, and instead of being converted converts; so that truly the only things sacrificed in the strict sense are all the evil qualities or deficiencies which divide our souls from Christ.
