Being through faith ingrafted and incorporated¹ into Christ, (as hath been said, and as your selves profess) as touching sin, dead and buried with him; and as touching newness of life, quickened and risen again: Now if in truth you be risen with Christ, then as Christ rising remained not on ⟨p. 161⟩earth, but ascended up into heaven, where under God, as touching his Manhood, he is exalted in power and majesty above all Powers and Principalities, in heaven and earth; so you by seeing and seeking after the graces that come from above, ascend up whether he is gone.
