Its true our Saviour consists of two Natures, Divine and Human; but because the humanity is the meaner and more inferior, therefore that must follow the Deity, and be where it is: And we also, whose Nature our Saviour took, and whose places and persons he sustained, we must follow our Nature, and our Nature the God Head, that hath his proper place in Heaven: And therefore the Human Nature with that, and all those, who are the members of that Head, must be there where the Head is.

And hence our Saviour professeth for the comfort of his disciples, That he went before to prepare a place for them. Joh. 14.4. In my Fathers House there be many mansions, I go to prepare a place for them. He as God-man, the Head of the Covenant, goes to Heaven: and the will bring all his to Heaven: by virtue thereof, he makes way for them thither, Room and entertainment there. Heaven is the Lords: the place of the God-Head: our Nature assumed follows that, and we our Nature.
