When Jesus Christ said, you shall not alway have me with you, he speak of the presence of his body. For concerning his Majesty, his providence, and his invisible grace, he hath fully accomplished his promise made in an other place: I will be with you till the end of the world. But concerning the nature of man taken of him, concerning that he was borne of the virgin Mary, concerning that he was crucified, buried, and raised from death to life this sentence is accomplished: you shall not alway have me with you. And why? for that touching his body, he was conversant 40. ⟨image 36⟩days with his disciples, and from the same disciples, following him with their eyes, and not going after him, he ascended into heaven at the end of 40. days, and is no more here.

Inasmuch as he is God, he is every where, in that he is man, he is in heaven.
