Likewise againe,1 Dominus consolatur nos, qui ipsum jam in Coelo sedentem manu contrectare non possumus, sed Fide contingere. The Lord doth comfort us, that cannot touch him with our hand sitting now in Heaven: But may touch him notwithstanding with our Faith.2 And again, Si illi proptereà crediderunt, quia tenuerunt, & palpaverunt, nos quid facimus? Jam Christus Ascendit in Coelum, & non est venturus, nisi in fine, ut judicet de vivis, & mortuis. If they therefore believed in Christ, because they held him, and touched him, what do we then? For Christ is now Ascended into Heaven, and will not come again, but in the end, to judge the quick, and the Dead. So saithe Origen. 3Christus secundum Divinitatis suae Naturam non peregrinatur à nobis: Sed peregrinature Secundum dispensationem Corporis, quod suscepit. Christe according to the Nature of his Godhead is not a stranger unto us: but he is a stranger to us, touching the dispensation ⟨p. 372⟩of the Body, which he hath received. Againe,4 Nec est Homo, qui est, ubicunque duo, vel tres in eius nomine fuerint congregati &c. It is not Christ, as Man, that is, wheresoever two or three be gathered in his name: neither is Christ, as Man, with us always until the Consummation of the world.5 So likewise saith S. Hierome, Christus non est Corporaliter in Ecclesia: Surgens enim à mortuis Ascendit in Coelum. Christ is not now Bodily in the Church: for being risen from the dead, he is Ascended into Heaven.
Likewise againe,1 Dominus consolatur nos, qui ipsum iam in Coelo sedentem manu contrectare non possumus, sed Fide contingere. The Lorde doothe comforte vs, that cannot touche him with our hande sittinge nowe in Heauen: But may touche him notwithstandinge with our Faithe.
