3. Wherefore Christ ascended into heaven.
Christ ascended, first, for his own and his Fathers glory. §11For, He was to have a celestial Kingdom: Therefore he might not abide in earth. He that descended, is even the same that ascended far above all heavens, that he might fill all things. Wherefore God hath also highly exalted him; that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, and that every tongue should confess, that Jesus Christ is the Lord, unto the glory of God the Father. §22. It was meet that the head should be glorified with excellency of gifts above all the blessed, as being the members of that head: which could not have been done in earth.
