§. 33. Of Christs advancement to Gods right hand.
This phrase right hand, attributed to God, must needs be metaphorically spoken.1 For God is not a body, nor hath any parts of a body properly appertaining unto him: He is a simple, pure, spiritual, indivisible essence. To imagine that God hath a body, or any parts of a body properly, is to make him no God. Whosoever doth conceit any such thing of God, doth frame an idol for God in his heart. Such things are attributed to God in sacred Scripture for teaching sake, to make us somewhat the better conceive divine things by such humane resemblances as are familiar to us, and we well acquainted withal.
