Iesus which is taken vp from you into heauen shall so come as you haue seen him go into heuen Abraham receiued three Angels with the presence of God Gen. 18. 2. Lot receiued two Angels as messengers from God of his saluation in the absence of the Lord Gen. 19. 3. for the Lord sent them to destroy the city In such places is the office of the Trinity to be marked and most diligently considered Likewise that he ascended it appeereth by S. Lukes words Luk. 24. 51. And it came to passe that as he blessed them he departed from them and was carried into heauen into that ancient and euerlasting house of his father where the riches and treasure of Christs kingdome lay where neither rust nor moth could corrupt nor theeues break through and steale which is the farthest height of heauen and aboue all heauens that we can imagine as is abouesaid Let vs not therfore be gazers woonderers or strangers to the things that ought to be most familiar vnto vs. For nothing appeereth plaine to them that know not God and him whom he sent our sauiour Iesus Christ. HE SITTETH AT THE RIGHT HAND OF GOD THE FATHER ALMIGHTY Who being the brightnes of glory and the ingrauen forme of Gods person and bearing vp all things by his mighty word Heb. 1. hath by himselfe purged our sinnes and sitteth at the right hand of his fathers maiesty in the highest place Ephes. 1. Heer commeth to passe the spirituall prophesie of Dauid saying The Lord said vnto my Lord sit thou on my right hand till I make thine enimes thy footstoole which is to say at the right hand that ruleth all the wolrd this is the right hand that shall find out them that hate him Psal. ●1 8. strong is his hand Psal. ●9 and high is his right hand The right hand of the Lord hath the preheminence Psal. 118. the right hand of the Lord bringeth mighty things to passe Dauid being a prophet and speaking vnto men was to vse the phrase of men and also to allude vnto the manners and power of men for all the preferment that hath been among men hath been to place authority on the right hand seeing all actiuitie worthines prosperity readines and facility consisteth in the right hand of a man This was the reason of Dauid his figuratiue speech to make men vnderstand the preheminence of the most High wheras indeed God is all spirit and hath no communion with flesh as it is already prooued His right hand is a threatning hand to them that hate him but it entertains them kindly that loue and worship him in spirit and true holines as doers of his will and obseruers of his commaundements Which thing the prophet slacked not when he said Lo I com for in the book of life it is written of me shewing his election by the holy spirit Yet why doth he so stedfastly affirme that it is written of him c surely his owne soule told him For saith he Psal 40. I desired to do thy good wil O my God yea thy law is within my hart and I say thy right hand Psal. 44. thine arme and thy cheerfull countenance saueth and defendeth all such as thou fauorest Againe Psal. 18. thy right hand hath staied me and thy louing kindnes made me grow I beheld the Lord alwaies before me saith he and he is at my right hand Acts. 2. there shall I not be shaken By this we may well perceiue the worthines of Christ receiued by his father into that holy place into which he entred a sacrificer for sinne once for all so there is one God one mediator betwixt God and man Iesus Christ. Wherfore lift vp your harts vnto the Lord let your soules be lifted vp on high yea and fly vnto heauen as a bird with a most cheerfull note and a new song praising God and saying Hosanna in the highest which is to say Saue vs O thou that dwellest in the most high FROM THENCE HE SHALL COME Euen as the men of Galile saw him go Acts. ● 11. and he shall come riding vpon Cherub Psal. 18. 10. and flying vpon the wings of the wind Behold he will come with his fan in his hand Math 3. 12. and he will make clean his floore and gather his wheat into his garner but he will burne vp the chaff with vnquenchable fire Wherfore shall hee come thence TO IVDGE THE QVICK AND THE DEAD Now Gods throne is a firy throne whose comming to iudgement no man knoweth who at his comming shal baptise with the holy Ghost and with fire comming suddenly as a theef in the night or as a maister whose return the seruant knoweth not least the wicked should be forewarned to flee from the anger to come and aduaunce themselues concerning the aduantage of this life therfore they shall giue account to him that is ready to iudge both the quick and the dead 1. Pet. 4. 5. Iudge nothing O people of the earth before the time vntill the Lord commeth who will lighten things that are hid in darknes and make the counsels of the hart manifest and then shall euery man that doth so haue praise of God Christ commanded his Apostles to preach that he was ordained of God a iudge of quick and dead Saint Paul saith I witnes before God and the Lord Iesus Christ that shall come againe to iudge the quicke and the dead at his appeerance and his kingdom 2. Tim. 4. which is to say when his kingdome shall come that we daily pray for in the Lords praier in which kingdom the Lord make vs partakers of his sonnes inheritance euen as we growe in him vnto the house of the liuing Amen I BELEEVE IN THE HOLY GHOST Heer againe is the first tenor of our confession repeated to wit I beleeue in which ought to haue relation wholy and seuerally to the three persons only least we make a confusion of all as some do which take it literally without discerning the sense at all but saying in haste I beleeue in the holy Ghost the holy catholike church the communion of saints c.
