So much the Apostle plainly witnesseth, Eph. 4.10. He that descended, is the same also that ascended up, far above all Heavens, (i. e.) all the aspectable Heavens. A full and faithful account whereof the several Evangelists have given us, Mark. 16.19. Luk. 24.51. This is sometimes called his going away, as Joh. 16.7. Sometimes his being exalted, Acts 2.33. Sometimes his being made higher than the Heavens, Heb. 7.26. And sometimes his entering within the veil, Heb. 6.19, 20. All which are but so many Synonymous phrases expressing his ascension in a pleasant variety.
