4 And although, he be truly ascended into Heaven; yet doth it not follow thence, that he is no more present here with his Church for the government thereof: seeing that the said Ascension, doth only appertain unto that nature which is finite, and contained in a place; that is, unto his humanity, and not to his Divinity, which is every where always present, and can be contained in no certain place, seeing it containeth all things: For as AUGUSTINE hath spoken very notably, the body wherein Christ rose, ⟨p. 126⟩must be in one place, where as his trueth is every where spread abroad.
4 And although, he be trulie ascended into Heauen; yet doth it not follow thence, that he is no more present here with his Church for the gouernment thereof: seeing that the said Ascention, dooth onely appertaine vnto that nature which is finite, and contained in a place; that is, vnto his humanitie, and not to his Diuinitie, which is euery where alwais present, and can be contained in no certaine place, seeing it containeth all things: For as AVGVSTINE hath spoken very notablie, the body wherein Christ rose, ⟨p. 126⟩must bee in one place, where as his trueth is euery where spread abroad.
5 Hence we gather, that he is not now upon earth, in respect of his Manhood; seeing he hath once ascended into that place, whence the Scripture doth testify that he will not depart, until the restitution of all things, and in no other manner neither, then he did ascend.
