Christophilus.	Haworth, William.	1676 (1676)	Wing H1195; ESTC R514	18,456	23

this Soul and Body is in Union with the Godhead in Heaven and so he is Mediator in both Natures take this by the way That the Quakers may not deceive you by their Juggles Christ was a Person before he took Man's Nature They may grant to you that Christ is a Person and yet deny his Manhood and grant a Manhood and yet deny the Fesh in which he was to be in Heaven 1. That his Soul is in Heaven see Luke 23.46 Father into thy hands I commend my Spirit What is become of that Soul that Christ had when he came to Die Surely it did not vanish and perish but he commends it into his Fathers hands as into a safe depository to be laid up kept and preserved Luke 23.43 To day shalt thou be with me in Paradise Was not that Heaven Now he spake this as to his Soul it 's plain for as to his Deity he was always there as to his Body that remained in the Sepulchre two dayes 2. His Body that 's in Heaven that Flesh and those Bones that were handled by his Disciples at the Resurrection And he himself saith A Spirit hath not Flesh and Bones as ye see me have Behold my Hands Luke 24.39 and my Feet handle me and see And they handled him 1 John 1.1 Whom our hands have handled of the Word of Life Now this Flesh and Bones those Hands and Feet that were handled are now in Heaven And Luke 24.50 51. He led them forth as far as Bethany and he lift up his hands and blessed them And it come to pass while he blessed them he was parted from them and carried up into Heaven This Body was the proper Object of their sight The Soul they could not see this was parted from them this was carried up into Heaven Act. 1.9 While they beheld he was taken up If he had secretly ascended more doubts might have risen what was become of him but he did openly-and visibly Ascend having many Witnesses of the truth and reality of it that it might be out of doubt Now if it be asked whither he did ascend the Angels give an accoutn Vers 11. This same Jesus which is taken up into heaven and observe how they speak This same Jesus as you have seen him go They saw him with their Carnal Eyes they were Eye-witnesses of this thing Other Scriptures opened to prove this Acts 7.56 Behold I see the Heavens opened Stephen's sight was strengthened in a wonderful miraculous way so that he pierced to the very heavenly Glory with his Eye This was more than what was natural no doubt for the other that stood by saw nothing but he saw as much of the Heavenly Glory as he could bear I see the Son of Man denoting Humane Nature when here on Earth that he had it then at that time after his Ascension 1 Tim. 3.16 God manifested in the Flesh And the last Phrase of the Verse received up into Glory that flesh wherein God manifested himself was received up into Glory Acts 3.21 Whom the Heaven must receive until the restitution of all things Peter had been preaching the Resurrection of Christ now here he tells them what is become of him since why He is in Heaven thither should their minds be lifted up by Faith and this Heaven having received him should contain him until a certain time then he will appear Therefore Beza saith 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 is here put for 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 by the Antecedent we may understand the Consequent it is so to receive him as to contain him Therefore all those places where you read of Jesus Christ by Name appearing are not to be understood as if Christ in Body came down from Heaven but either they saw him the Heavens being as it is said of Stephen opened or it was in Extasie Matth. 26.11 For you have the poor alwayes with you but me you have not with you alwayes Therefore he speaks frequently to his Disciples of his Departure that he would go away from them Yet a little while and I am with you John 14.2 3. I go and if I go to prepare a place And now Whither went he He tells us John 17.11 And now I am no more in the World but these are in the World I come to thee Holy Father Now this must needs be as to his Manhood for the Father and He were one as to his Godhead in Essence and so he was with the Father from Eternity John 1.1 In the beginning the Word was with God Prov. 8.22 The Lord possessed me in the beginning of his wayer before his works of old Vers 30. Then I was by him i.e. before there was any thing created or framed You see by th●se Scriptures he removed from the Earth and went to Heaven and there he is Yet farther What else must we understand by that of the Apostle Paul 2 Cor. 5. Absent from the Body present with the Lord. While we are at home we are absent or Pilgrims from the Lord. Now Christ as God is immense as to his presence he is every where and as to his Saints he is with them alwayes and in them by his Spirit then must it needs be spoke as to Christ's Bodily presence So in another place the Apostle saith I desire to be dissolved and to be with Christ He must needs speak this as to his Soul for Pauls Boyd was to sleep in the Grave till the Resurrection But was not Christ present with Paul Yea certainly as to his Spirit so he saith 2 Tim. 4.17 The Lord stood by me What then was this being with Chirst but to be as to his Soul upon departure from the Body in some certain place where the Soul and Body of Christ were they could not be every where for then this desire of his was a vain desire and he withall wishes his Soul to be every where and so to be Infinite and to be God which is absurd In Ephes 1.20 he is mentioning Christ and saith Whom he raised from the dead and set him at his own right-hand Now what ever was raised was set at the right-hand The flesh of Christ was raised He here tells us what it is for Christ to sit at Gods right-hand viz. to have power over all things to have all things put in subjection to him which is taken from Psal 8.4 where observe what is said What is Man that thou art mindfull of him or the Son of Man that thou visitest him This state of Exaltation in Heaven is applyed to him as Man he is a Man in Heaven 1 Tim. 2.5 Out Mediator betwixt God and man the Man Christ Jesus That Man that gave himself a Ransom for that followeth immediately that Man is the Mediator betwixt God and man therefore none of any sort but may have hopes of being saved by him upon Faith on him Heb. 4.14 15.
