The Explication.
1TO sit at the right hand of God, and, to ascend into heaven, are things different: for one may be without the other. Wherefore this Article differeth three ways from the former: §12Because in this Article is declared the end of his ascension: For Christ did therefore ascend into heaven, that he might sit at the right hand of the Father. §23Because Christ sitteth always at the right hand of the Father, but into heaven he ascended but once. ⟨p. 322⟩§34The Angels do ascend, and we shall also ascend into heaven; but yet neither they, nor we shall sit at the right hand of God. For, To which of the Angels said God at any time, Sit at my right hand, 5until I have made thine enemies, thy foot-stool? much less did God say thus unto any man, Christ alone excepted. The Questions of Christs sitting at the right hand of the Father, are: 1. What the right hand of God signifieth in the Scriptures. 2. What it is to sit at GODS right hand. 3. Whether Christ did always sit at Gods right hand. 4 What are the fruits of Christs sitting at the right hand of the Father.
