7 Whole Christ undivided according to both natures, perfects the justification and washing of a sinner by the spirit, and whole Christ according to both natures undivided obtaineth the state of the second person in the Trinity, 1as one and coequal God in power and honour with the Father. Familists make God in his nature and essence to dwell and work in all creatures, especially in the regenerate. But these are but fancies. 1. Because after Christ was raised from the dead to the glory of the Father and so en•red into his glory, there is evidence that his manhood was entered in no degrees of communion in the essence power and glory of God equally with God;2 because there remaineth a body with flesh and bones that may be touched and handled. Luk. 24.36.37, 38, 39, 40. with the print of the nails in his hands and sides Joh. 20 27. now there is nothing of the nature, essential honour, and glory of God an infinite Spirit, that fills heaven and earth yea or of any spirit, in a body of bones flesh hands and feet and having in it such material and sensible qualities as the impression of wounds. 2. Christ did eat with his disciples after his resurrection. Joh. 21.12, 13, 14▪ and so after he was entered in some degrees of glory and was seen of five hundred brethren at once 1 Cor. 15.6. Of Cleophas, of the twelve Apostles, of Paul also, now what ever partaketh of the essence of a Spirit, cannot eat▪ nor be seen with bodily eyes, and the disciples with their bodily eyes ⟨p. 18⟩saw him ascend to heaven even till the clouds took him out of their sight. Acts 1. (3) The eyes of all believers and reprobates, even his enemies that pierced him, in the general Judgement shall see him: in which state Swenckefeldius dreams that the manhood is fully changed in the essence of God
