2 And although, it may be properly applied unto that other nature of Christ, which is corporal; in that sense, that sitting is opposed unto the standing or the moving of the body: yet we must not think, that that glorious body of his, though it be truly circumscribed and contained in a place; doth either continually stand, sit, or move: For all these things are gross and curious matters, neither are they so particularly to be applied to the estate of that life.
