'Augustin knew this well when he wrote: "Until the world comes to an end, _the Lord is on high_; but His divinity is everywhere."[206] And so did Fulgentius, when he wrote: "The Lord was absent from heaven, according to his human nature, when he was on earth; and _he left the earth when he ascended to heaven_. But as for the divine nature, it never quitted heaven when he came down to earth, and did not leave the earth when he ascended to heaven."[207] 'When any one of us says: _Lo, here is Christ, or there_! the priests say: We must believe him. But Christ says: _Believe it not_. At the moment of the communion they chant _Sursum corda_, Lift your hearts on high; but they do the contrary, and exhort us to seek Christ not _on high_, but in their hands, in their boxes, and in their cupboards. 'Nay, further, these blind priests, adding error to error, teach in their madness, that after they have breathed upon or spoken over the bread, which they take between their fingers, and also over the wine that they put in the chalice, there remains neither bread nor wine, but that Jesus Christ is there alone by _transubstantiation_.... Big and monstrous words ... doctrine of devils, opposed to all Scripture. I ask these cope-wearers, Where did they find that big word TRANSUBSTANTIATION?... St. Matthew, St. Mark, St. John, St. Paul, and the old Fathers never spoke of it. When they made mention of the Lord's Supper, those holy writers openly and simply called the bread and wine, _bread_ and _wine_. St. Paul does not say: Eat the body of Jesus Christ; but: Eat this _bread_. Ah! Scripture employs no deception, and there is no pretence in it. The bread is therefore bread. 'Presumptuous enemies of the Word of God, shameless heretics, they are not satisfied with pretending to enclose the body of Jesus Christ in their wafer; but see into what absurdities their superstition leads them. They are not ashamed to say that the body of Jesus Christ may be eaten by rats, spiders, and vermin.... Yes, there it is printed in red letters in their missals, in the twenty-second Item, beginning thus: If the body of the Lord be eaten by mice and spiders, be reduced to nothing, or be very much gnawed, or if the maggot is found whole inside ... let it be burned and placed in the reliquary!
