The second fruit is, that by his ascension into heaven, he hath made us to sit with him in heavenly places, Ephes. 2.6. So that we do not only in a naked hope look for heaven: but we possess it in the head, and in Christ our brother: aswell because that same earthly, and bodily pledge, which he hath taken of us, full expiation & cleansing, being made of our sins, doth possess the heavens now in our name: as also because we our selves do possess a spiritual and heavenly pledge received again from him, to wit the spirit of Christ dwelling in us: & so by the power of the holy Ghost through faith in the promise of the Gospel we are engrafted into him. And therefore Ro. 10.6.8. The righteousness which is of faith saith thus, Say not in thy heart, who shall ascend into heaven? That is to bring Christ from above, &c. But what saith it? The word is near thee, even in thy mouth, and in thine ⟨p. 205⟩heart, that is, that same word of Faith which we preach.

THe second fruite is, that by his ascension into heauen, he hath made vs to sit with him in heauenlie places, Ephes. 2.6. So that we do not onely in a naked hope looke for heauen: but we possesse it in the head, and in Christ our brother: aswell because that same earthly, and bodily pledge, which he hath taken of vs, full expiation & cleansing, being made of our sins, doth possesse the heauens nowe in our name: as also because we our selues doe possesse a spiritual and heauenly pledge receaued againe frō him, to wit the spirite of Christ dwelling in vs: & so by the power of the holie Ghost through faith in the promise of the Gospell we are ingraffed into him. And therfore Ro. 10.6.8. The righteousnes which is of faith saith thus, Say not in thy heart, who shal ascend into heauen? That is to bring Christ from aboue, &c. But what saith it?
