For the scripture of God through out, doth witness constantly and sure, that Christ Jesus is taken up into heaven, & sitteth at the right hand of his father. Whereby it is out of doubt, that the Apostle thought not to set Christ without heaven: but therefore proponeth he the matter with so high & excellent words, to show and declare unto us, that the body of our lord which afore was despised, and shamefully defaced, is now in the supreme & highest glory, & that ⟨p. 56⟩meaneth he, where he saith, above all heavens. For who • doth thoroughly consider yt place of Paul to the Ephesians, findeth that Paul hath set two part of his oration,1 the one against th• other. For first he saith thus that he ascended, what meane• it, but that he also descended fi• into the lowest parts of the earth Against this, setteth he now: h• that descended, is even the sam• also that ascended up, even • bove all heavens.
