Annotatio secunda Gregorii de Valentia societatis Iesu de controversia ubiquetaria

Psalm 110.

...Concordist preachers have deceived with their arts. Nor do I deny that Christ reigns even in the midst of his enemies. But it is not the same thing for the man Christ to dominate or reign somewhere, and for him to be present there also by the presence of his body, as has been explained by us in another place from the Sacred Scripture, having refuted all the Ubiquitarian cavils.

Schmidelin’s cavil.

"But," he says, "the Spaniard himself, when he wishes to show that Christ is present not only in heaven but also in the holy Supper, uses only the apparition of Christ made to Saint Paul on the road for the proof of that matter: when the Sacrament of the Eucharist was not even yet completed. Thus, by this example, the proud Spaniard refutes himself, and against his own will, confirms our doctrine: namely, that Christ is present not only in heaven and in the Sacrament, but also outside the Sacrament, present to his Church and to its members in all places wherever they may be." But as for me, I by no means brought forward the example of that apparition—and also another, which likewise happened to the same Saint Paul in prison—in order to conclude from it specifically that Christ is present in the most holy Sacrament, but in order to defend primarily against the Calvinists that one body can be present at the same time in different places, just as the body of Christ was present then (as I confirmed) in heaven and on the road. For I thought this had to be established first, both by that argument and by others, so that I could then more easily prove Christ’s presence in the Sacrament. This I did with those arguments that are proper to this assertion, and primarily that invincible statement of Christ: "This is my body." Wherefore, when he affirms here that I proved Christ’s presence in the Sacrament solely by that example of the apparition, where the Eucharist was not completed: I act beyond his merit in that I do not openly say that he lies. Furthermore, I showed in another book against him that the following consequence is worthy of the inept and plain cunning of Schmidelin: "Christ was present on earth once and again, and extraordinarily and miraculously..."
