RID. Yes, I grant the antecedent. I am content to let you have so much. Because I know that there be certain ancient fathers of that opinion. I am well content to let you use that proposition as true. And I will frame the argument for you. HE was seen on earth after his ascension.—
SMITH. Nay, nay, I will frame it myself. CHRIST after his ascension was seen really and corporally on earth, albeit he do abide in heaven continually. ERGO, Notwithstanding his ascension and continual abiding at the right hand of the Father, he may be really and corporally on the earth.
RID. Let us first agree about the continual sitting at the right hand of the Father.
SMITH. Doth he so sit at the right hand of his Father, that he doth never forsake the same?
