Thus find we clearly, that for the measure of his very body, he must be in one place, and that in heaven, as concerning his manhood, and yet every where present in that he is the eternal Son of God & equal to his father. Like testimony doeth he give in the 30. Treatise that he maketh upon the Evangelie of John. These be his words there written: Donec saeculum finiatur, sursum est Dominus, sed etiam hic est veritas Domini. &c. Untill the world be at an end, the Lord is above, but here is the truth of the Lord also, for the body of our Lord in which he rose, must be in one place: 1but his trueth is abroad in every place. The first parcel, that is, until the worlds end, is so put, that it may join to the sentence going before, or else to these words following: The Lord is above. &c. And so should it well accord to my sentence before showed, which is, the Lord is so bodily ascended, that in his natural body he cannot again return from heaven until the general dome.
