I am •aine to leave out other evident Arguments for the same purpose, least I should be over prolix and tedious. It doeth there also further follow in like form, how the Angels made answer to the Disciples, saying: Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gassing into heaven? This Jesus which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come again, as you have seen him going up into heaven. Here we see again, that Jesus is assumpte, or taken away into heaven. And then it must be from out of the world,1 according to that we read, John 16. I went forth from the father, & I came into the world. I leave the world again, and I go unto the Father: That is not else, but as he came from the father of heaven into this world, in that he was incarnate & made man, for his Godhead was never absent, either from heaven, or yet from earth: even so should his manhood leave the world again, to go to heaven. Moreover, in that it is said: So shall he come, is plainly testified, that he is away, and now corporally absent.

Thys Iesus which is taken vppe from you into heauen, shall so come agayne, as you haue seene him going vppe into heauen. Here we see againe, that Iesus is assumpte, or taken away into heauen. And then it must be from oute of the worlde,1 accordinge to that we read, Iohn 16. I went foorth from the father, & I came into the worlde. I leaue the worlde againe, and I go vnto the Father: That is not els, but as hee came from the father of heauen into thys worlde, in that he was incarnate & made man, for hys Godhead was neuer absent, either from heauen, or yet from earth: euen so shoulde his manhoode leaue the worlde againe, to go to heauen. Moreouer, in that it is sayde: So shall he come, is plainly testified, that hee is away, and nowe corporally absent.
