Answ. What Sight it was that Paul had of Christ, is not declared; however, it is evident it was a Vision that he had of him, for so he calleth it: but that this proves the Body of Christ to be in two places at once, doth not in the least appear. Stephen also saw Christ; and if it should be granted, as some affirm, that he saw his real glorified Body, doth it follow, the Body of Christ was then in two Places? The Heavens might be opened, and his Sight so strengthened, that he might have a sight of the blessed Jesus, whom Stephen said, he saw standing on the right-hand of God.1
