To this article of our Creed accordeth holy Scripture,1 and all the old ancient doctors of Christs church, for Christ him self said, I leave the world, and go to my father. And also he said: you shall ever have poor folks with you, but you shall not ever have me with you. And he gave warning of this error before hand, saying that the time would come, when many deceivers should be in the world, and say: Here is Christ, and there is Christ, but believe them not, said Christ. And S. Mark writeth in the last chapter of his gospel,2 that the Lord Jesus was taken up into heaven, and sitteth at the right hand of his father. And S. Paul exhorteth all men to seek for things that be above in heaven, where Christ (saith he) sitteth at the right hand of God his father.3 Also he saith, that we have such a bishop,4 that sitteth in heaven at the right hand of the throne of Gods majesty. And that he having offered one sacrifice for sins, sitteth continually at the right hand of God,5 until his enemies be put under his feet as a footstool. And hereunto consent all the old doctors of the church.
