In what sense we may truly say, Christ is either Present with us, or Absent from us, the matter is not so doubtful, or dangerous to be answered: onlesse M. Harding have forgotten the Articles of his Creed. For thus we are taught to believe, Christ is Ascended into Heaven, and fit that the Right Hand of God. Which Article S. Augustine expoundeth thus: 1Noli dubitare ibi nunc esse hominem Christum Jesum, unde venturus est: memoriterque recole, & fideliter tene Christianam Confessionem, Quoniam Resurrexit à mortuis: Ascendit ad Coelum: Sedet ad Dextram Patris: nec aliunde, quàm inde venturus est ad vivos mortuo• que judicandos: Doubt thou not, but Christ Jesus, as Man, is there now, from whence he shall come: And hear thou well in mind, and faithfully believe the Christian Confession, That Christ is Risen again from the Dead: And Ascended into Heaven: And Sitteth at the Right Hand of the Father: And that he shall come again from thence, and from no where else, to Judge the quick, and the Dead. Again he saithe, Homo, secundum Corpus, in Coelo est:2 & de loco migrat: &, cùm ad alium locum venerit, in eo loco, unde venit, non est: Christe, as Man, according to his Body, is in Heaven: and passeth from place to place: and, when he cometh to an other place, he is not in the other place, from whence he came.
