4 Fourthly, it doth destroy all the Articles of our Faith, which concern Christs ascension in heaven, sitting at the right hand of the Father, and his coming again, together with all the places of Scripture, that confirm those most holy, comfortable, and necessary points. For if he be here in respect of his bodily power & presence, how can he be justly said to have ascended in respect of his body, into heaven, and to sit there at the right hand of his Father, making continual intercession for us? Or how can it be affirmed, that from thence he shall come with great power and glory, to judge the quick and the dead, seeing ⟨p. 30⟩he is here on earth already? Let men of the world deem what they list, this is the truth that God hath sanctified unto us in his word, and do steadfastly believe it in my heart, and will through Gods goodness and strength, always confess the same with my mouth, that from the time of his ascension, the heavens must contain Christ's natural body, until the time that all things be restored, Acts 3.21. that is, even to the worlds end.

For if he be heere in respect of his bodily power & presence, how can he be iustly said to haue ascended in respect of his bodie, into heauen, and to sit there at the right hand of his Father, making continuall intercession for vs? Or how can it be affirmed, that from thence hee shall come with great power and glorie, to iudge the quicke and the dead, seeing ⟨p. 30⟩he is heere on earth already? Let men of the world deeme what they list, this is the truth that God hath sanctified vnto vs in his word, and doe steadfastly beleeue it in my heart, and will through Gods goodnesse and strength, alwayes confesse the same with my mouth, that from the time of his ascension, the heauens must containe Chistes naturall bodie, vntill the time that all thinges be restored, Actes 3.21. that is, euen to the worldes end.
