The company that came from heaven, were Moses and Elijah. Some have thought •hat these did not appear Verè & Personaliter, truly and personally; but Angels in •heir likeness: but that is a manifest error; for themselves appeared, not Angels in their •militude. Some are of another opinion, that they did not only appear personally, •ut that in their very bodies with their souls. Because it is said that Elijah was taken •p, and no man knew what became of Moses his body: which occasioned that disputation betwixt the Archangel and the devil.¹ But it is most plain that the body •f Moses was buried. Deut. 34.6. in a valley in the land of Moab, over against Beth•eor: though no man knoweth of his Sepulchre unto this day. Neither are all of that •pinion, that the very body of Elijah was taken up into heaven; some be persuaded, •ere is no humane body in heaven, but the body of our Lord JESUS only. Joh. •.13. No man hath ascended up into heaven, but he that came down from heaven. But •ere it is questioned, why did Moses and Elijah appear, rather than David and Abraham, from whose loins CHRIST JESUS came and who were so famous among the people? Reasons.
