First, I shall prove it to you by Scripture, that Christ is bodily gone into Heaven, I prove it by these five arguments in Scripture.
First, by the Types that were before the Law, Enoch was translated and taken up bodily into Heaven, where now he is. Gen. 5. 24. And Enoch walked with God, and he was not, for God took him, this is confirmed by the Apostle, Heb. 11. 5. By faith Enoch was translated, that he should not see death, and was not found, because God had translated him, for before his translation he had this testimony, That he pleased God. And under the Law, Elijah was taken up in a fiery Chariot, 2 King. 2. 11. And it came to pass, as they still went on and talked, that behold, there appeared a Chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and parted them both asunder, and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into Heaven. So Christ makes a third under the Gospel, taken up to Heaven also.
