First, as Christ was enclosed and so borne about in the womb of his mother bring a Virgin undefiled,1 and after was borne into this world, and put in a manger, and so he growing in age did abide in diverse places, but in one after an other, sometime in Galilee, sometime in Samaria, sometime in Jury, sometime beyond, & sometime on this side of Jordan, & consequently he was crucified at Jerusalem, there being enclosed & buried in a grave, from whence he did arise, so that the angels testified of him: He is risen and is not here. Matthew. 28. and as at the time appointed,2 after his resurrection, he was assumpt or lifted up into heaven, from the top of the Mount of Olivet, in the sight of his Disciples, a cloud compassing him about: Even so shall he come from the same celestial place corporally, as they did see him to depart out of the one place corporally, according to the testimony of the angels. Acts. 1.3 So that in this we may undoubtedly find that Christ, as touching his manhood, can not be corporally in many & divers places at once, and so to be corporally in his natural body in heaven and also in the earth, and that it is moreover, in so many parts of the world, as men have affirmed.
