that_o come_v down_o from_o heaven_n even_o the_o son_n of_o man_n which_o be_v in_o heaven_n now_o it_o be_v clear_a that_o in_o one_o sense_n our_o saviour_n have_v not_o yet_o ascend_v up_o to_o

all_o place_n at_o once_o no_o man_n have_v ascend_v up_o into_o heaven_n but_o he_o that_o come_v down_o from_o heaven_n even_o the_o son_n of_o man_n which_o be_v in_o heaven_n or_o else_o we_o must_v understand_v the_o word_n heaven_n of_o god_n as_o the_o jew_n in_o their_o write_n do_v frequent_o understand_v it_o and_o to_o this_o sense_n it_o be_v use_v in_o several_a place_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n and_o in_o one_o of_o the_o old_a and_o so_o the_o sense_n will_v be_v this_o no_o man_n have_v ascend_v up_o to_o god_n that_o be_v no_o man_n enjoy_v a_o perfect_a and_o entire_a

elsewhere_o that_o he_o be_v in_o the_o father_n and_o the_o father_n in_o he_o and_o by_o this_o way_n of_o interpretation_n the_o union_n of_o the_o divine_a and_o human_a nature_n in_o the_o

the_o result_n of_o which_o two_o place_n compare_v together_o be_v unavoidable_o this_o that_o christ_n and_o god_n the_o father_n be_v the_o same_o the_o same_o in_o substance_n although_o they_o
