Item, he that doth me service let him follow me:1 and where I am, there shall also my servants be. Seeing now that our souls & our bodies also, after the resurrection of the flesh, shall be in heaven, as in a place certain: it followeth that the body of the Lord, ⟨p. 54⟩which into heaven is taken up, hath also a place certain in heaven, and that the right hand of God in this signification can not be every where.
Item, he that doth me seruice let him folowe me:1 and where I am, there shal also my seruaunts be. Seing now that our soules & oure bodies also, after the resurrection of the flesh, shalbe in heauen, as in a place certain: it foloweth that the body of the Lord, ⟨p. 54⟩which into heauen is taken vp, hath also a place certaine in heauen, and yt the right hand of God in this signification can not be euery where.
In this upright matter, let it trouble no man, that is read in s. Paul,1 how that Christ ascended up above all the heavens by means whereof, a curious body might peradventure conclude: if Christ our Lord be taken up above the heavens, then can there no place certain be ascribed unto him, seeing there is no place above or with out the heaven. Neither ought it to offend any man that is written, how that unto Christ there is given a name, which is above all names.
