and yet it doth not therefore follow, that the soul is not of another nature than the body, or that they cannot be distinguished. Even so is it with Jesus Christ. If a man demand, why then? Is not our Lord Jesus Christ all whole with us, according as he is our head and mediator, and hath gathered us too him in such wise, as we live of his own substance? Yes, he is with us all whole, if we take him in the person of the mediator. But if a man demand, is every part of him among us, which is in himself: No: neither is it ⟨image 192⟩requisite that he should any more be so conversant among us, as too be subject too the suffering of any thing, but he must be quite and clean exempted from all that gear. And that is the cause why the Apostle telleth us,¹ that he is appeared once, and that henceforth we wait for him. And so ye see what we have to consider upon this saying, that Jesus Christ is exalted above all the heavens.

and yit it doth not therfore folow, that the soule is not of another nature than the bodie, or that they cannot be distinguished. Euen so is it with Iesus Christ. If a man demaund, why then? Is not our Lord Iesus Christ all whole with vs, according as he is our head and mediatour, and hath gathered vs too him in such wyse, as wee liue of his owne substance? Yis, he is with vs al whole, if wee take him in the person of the mediator. But if a man demaund, is euerye part of him among vs, which is in himself: No: nother is it ⟨image 192⟩requisite that he should anie more bee so conuersant among vs, as too bee subiect too the suffering of anie thing, but he must bee quyte and cleane exempted from all that geere. And that is the cause why the Apostle telleth vs,¹ that he is appered once, and that hensforth we wayt for him. And so yee see what wee haue to consider vppon this saying, that Iesus Christ is exalted aboue all the heauens.
