With him consenteth full plainly Fulgentius in his second book,1 to Trasimundus, writing in this wise: Unus idemque homo localis ex homine, qui est Deus immensus ex patre Unus idemque secundum humanam substantiam, absens coelo cum esset in terra, &c. One and the same man being local, in that he is man which is God almighty of the Father. One and the same according to humane substance, being absent from heaven when he was in the earth, and leaving the earth when he ascended up into heaven. But according to his divine and almighty substance, neither departing from heaven, when he descended from heaven, neither leaving the earth, when he ascended into heaven. The which may well be known by the undoubtful saying of our Lord himself: which that he might the better show his humanity occupying a place, said unto his Disciples: I ascend up unto my father and your father, unto my God and your God. Also when he had said of Lazarus: Lazarus is dead, he adjoined saying: And I am glad for your sakes, that you may believe, because I was not there. But showing the greatness of his divinity, he said to his Disciples: Behold I am with you unto the end of the world. For how did he ascend into heaven? but because he is local and true man? And how is he present to his faithful, but because he is almighty and true God? &c. In this manner doth he proceed forth, speaking much, full agreeably to my sentence, which is now overlong here to write. But what can be said more plainly in so few words making for me?
With him consenteth full plainely Fulgentius in hys second booke,1 to Trasimundus, writing in this wise: Vnus idemque homo localis ex homine, qui est Deus immensus ex patre Vnus idemque secundum humanam substantiam, absens coelo cum esset in terra, &c. One and the same man being locall, in that he is man which is God almighty of the Father. One and the same according to humane substance, being absent from heauen when he was in the earth, and leauing the earth when he ascended vp into heauen. But according to his diuine and almighty substance, neyther departing from heauen, when hee descended from heauen, neyther leauing the earth, when hee ascended into heauen. The which may well be knowne by the vndoubtfull sayeng of our Lord hymselfe: which that he might the better shewe his humanitie occupyeng a place, sayd vnto hys Disciples: I ascend vp vnto my father and your father, vnto my God and your God. Also when he had sayde of Lazarus: Lazarus is dead, he adioyned sayeng: And I am glad for your sakes, that you may beleeue, because I was not there. But shewing the greatenes of hys diuinitie, he sayd to his Disciples: Behold I am with you vnto the ende of the world. For how did he ascend into heauen? but because he is locall and true man? And how is hee present to hys faithfull, but because he is almighty and true God? &c. In thys maner doth he proceede foorth, speaking much, full agreeably to my sentēce, which is now ouerlong here to write. But what can be sayd more plainely in so few words making for me?
