make_v mention_n of_o his_o descent_n from_o heaven_n the_o sense_n which_o these_o wise_a interpreter_n put_v upon_o they_o be_v that_o christ_n be_v rapt_v up_o into_o heaven_n before_o he_o enter_v

before_o our_o lord_n enter_v upon_o his_o office_n of_o the_o messiah_n 29._o he_o be_v take_v up_o to_o heaven_n to_o be_v instruct_v in_o the_o mind_n and_o will_n of_o god_n as_o moses_n be_v

56._o in_o a_o three_o they_o say_v that_o our_o saviour_n before_o he_o enter_v upon_o his_o ministry_n ascend_v into_o heaven_n as_o moses_n do_v into_o the_o mount_n to_o be_v instruct_v in_o all_o

be_v viz._n a_o mere_a man_n this_o be_v not_o ill_o think_v of_o by_o they_o to_o suppose_v he_o take_v up_o into_o heaven_n and_o there_o instruct_v in_o what_o he_o be_v to_o teach_v and_o to_o

behold_v the_o glory_n of_o the_o lord_n as_o a_o devour_a fire_n on_o the_o top_n of_o the_o mount_n v_o 17._o and_o after_o the_o 40_o day_n be_v over_o it_o be_v say_v that_o moses_n come_v down_o from_o the_o mount_n and_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n see_v he_o with_o his_o face_n shine_v exod._n 34.40_o now_o if_o christ_n be_v take_v up_o into_o heaven_n as_o moses_n be_v into_o the_o

heaven_n we_o hear_v when_o we_o be_v with_o he_o in_o the_o holy_a mount_n now_o let_v any_o one_o compare_v this_o with_o the_o account_n which_o they_o give_v of_o christ_n ascension_n into_o heaven_n the_o transfiguration_n be_v intend_v only_o for_o a_o particular_a testimony_n of_o god_n favour_n before_o his_o suffering_n but_o even_o in_o that_o he_o take_v care_n there_o shall_v be_v very_o credible_a witness_n of_o it_o and_o be_v it_o then_o possible_a to_o believe_v there_o shall_v be_v such_o a_o ascension_n of_o christ_n into_o heaven_n for_o no_o less_o a_o purpose_n than_o to_o be_v instruct_v in_o his_o ambassage_n and_o to_o understand_v the_o mind_n and_o will_n of_o god_n as_o to_o his_o office_n and_o yet_o not_o one_o of_o the_o evangelist_n give_v any_o account_n

among_o they_o all_o as_o to_o the_o circumstance_n of_o this_o be_v take_v up_o into_o heaven_n for_o so_o great_a a_o purpose_n if_o it_o be_v necessary_a to_o be_v believe_v why_o be_v it_o not_o more_o plain_o reveal_v why_o not_o the_o time_n and_o place_n mention_v in_o scripture_n as_o well_o as_o of_o his_o fast_n and_o temptation_n who_o can_v imagine_v it_o consistent_a with_o that_o

up_o in_o such_o doubtful_a expression_n that_o none_o ever_o find_v out_o this_o meaning_n till_o the_o day_n of_o socinus_n enjedinus_n mention_n it_o only_o as_o a_o possible_a sense_n 6.62_o b●t_o

this_o be_v a_o very_a weak_a evasion_n for_o this_o be_v of_o great_a importance_n with_o respect_n to_o his_o office_n more_o than_o his_o baptism_n fast_v and_o temptation_n yet_o these_o be_v very_o full_o set_v down_o and_o after_o all_o our_o unitarian_n themselves_o seem_v to_o mistrust_v their_o own_o interpretation_n for_o in_o their_o answer_n to_o my_o sermon_n they_o say_v 10._o

in_o short_a that_o the_o word_n according_a to_o grotius_n 2d_o be_v not_o a_o eternal_a son_n of_o god_n but_o the_o power_n a●d_v wisdom_n of_o god_n which_o abide_v without_o measure_n on_o the_o

the_o scripture_n as_o i_o shall_v make_v it_o appear_v 1._o grotius_n on_o john_n 6.62_o interpret_v christ_n ascension_n into_o heaven_n of_o his_o corporal_a ascent_n thither_o after_o his_o
