For the truth witnesseth evidently: where I am,1 there shall also my servants be. Now shall the servants of God be in heaven, & not without or above the heaven (that is to say) in no place. For Paul, the chosen man of god, saith to the Philippians:2 our dwelling is in Heaven, from whence we look for the saviour. &c. plainly also & evidently doth the true word of God declare, that the heaven, into the which Christ ascended, is a place certain: for the Lord saith: in my fathers house are many dwellings: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.3 And if I go to prepare a place ⟨p. 60⟩for you, I will come to you again & receive you even unto my self that where I am, there you may be also.
