A Candid Inquiry into the Controversies among Evangelicals · §545 · Samuel Strimesius

Annotatio IV §.XI: Bede — left church CORPORALITER; goes as man, remains as God

Bede also seriously detests the falsehood of a corporal presence of Christ or His body — on earth or in the Sacred Supper.

Ascending Victor after the resurrection He left the Church CORPORALLY, yet never without divine presence. As man He went; as God He remained — going as in one place, remaining as everywhere (Mark 4.13; John 14).

Latin

Sed & falsitatem, i. e. corporalem Christi, sive corporis ejus, tàm in terris hisce, quàm in Cœna S., præsentiam, seriò detestatus: Christus, inquit, ad patrem, post resurrectionem, Victor adscendens, Ecclesiam CORPORALITER reliquit, quam tamen nunquam divinæ præsidio præsentiæ destituit. Comment. in Marcum Lib. 4. cap. 13. Et in Joh. cap. 14. A quibus, ait, homo abscedebat Dominus, eos non relinquebat idem ipse Christus homo & Deus. Ergo ibat per id, quod homo erat, & manebat per id, quod Deus erat. Ibat per id, quod uno loco erat, & manebat per id, quod ubique erat.
