II. Christ shall visibly return from one place to another, and that with a body visible, local, and determinate.

II. Christ shall visibly returne from one place to another, and that with a bodie visible, locall, and determinate.

:745p. 265

We therefore believe, Christ shall so return visibly, as he before in the Apostles sight ascended into heaven: and shall come even out of that heaven, where he now is: & therefore from that which is far distant from the earth, and from the clouds, unto which he shall descend: and we believe he shall so descend with his natural body, that it must needs be gram ted that the same is local and finite, and consequently, not existing every where: seeing also the holy ghost describeth such a descending unto simple people, which he showeth, cannot be made without change of places.

We therefore beleeue, Christ shall so return visiblie, as he before in the Apostles sight ascended into heauen: and shall come euen out of that heauen, where he now is: & therefore from that which is farre distant from the earth, and from the clouds, vnto which he shall descend: and we beleeue he shall so descend with his naturall bodie, that it must needs be graū ted that the same is locall and finite, and consequently, not existing euerie where: seing also the holie ghost describeth such a descending vnto simple people, which hee sheweth, cannot be made without chaunge of places.
