Doubt you not therefore that there is Christ Jesus according to his manhood, from whence he shall come. Remember it well, & keep faithfully thy Christian confession: for he rose from the dead, he ascended into heaven, he sitteth at the right hand of the father: neither will he come from any other place, then from thence to judge the quick and the dead. And he shall come, as the voice of the Angel beareth witness, as he was seen to go into heaven, that is to say, in the self same form and substance of fl•sh, whereunto undoubtedly he gave immortality, but he did not take away the nature thereof: According to this form of his flesh he is not to be thought to be every where And we must take heed that we do not so affirm the divinity of his manhood, that we thereby take away the truth of his body. For it is not a good consequent, that that thing which is in God, should so be in every place as God. For the Scripture sayeth very truly of us, that in him we live, move, and have our being: and yet notwithstanding we are not in every place as he is, but *that man is otherwise in God, because that God is otherwise in man, by a certain proper and singular manner of being: 2for God and man is one person, and only Jesus Christ is both. In that he is God, he is in every place: but in that he is man, he is in heaven.

And he shall come, as the voice of the Angell beareth witnesse, as he was seene to goe into heauen, that is to say, in the selfe same forme and substance of fl•sh, wherunto vndoubtedly hee gaue immortalitie, but hee did not take away the nature therof: According to this fourme of hys flesh he is not to be thought to be euery where And we must take heed that we doe not so affirme the diuinitie of his manhode, that we therby take away the truthe of his body. For it is not a good consequente, that that thinge whych is in God, shoulde so be in euerye place as God. For the Scripture sayeth very truely of vs, that in hym wee liue, mooue, and haue our being: and yet notwythstanding wee are not in euery place as he is, but
