27_o yet_o by_o the_o way_n we_o deny_v not_o this_o but_o that_o christ_n as_o god_n like_a as_o he_o be_v say_v to_o have_v descend_v from_o heaven_n in_o respect_n that_o he_o abase_v himself_o

if_o you_o be_v rise_v with_o christ_n seek_v those_o thing_n which_o be_v above_o set_v your_o affection_n on_o thing_n which_o be_v above_o where_o christ_n sit_v at_o the_o right_a hand_n of_o

either_o christ_n jesus_n take_v any_o other_o body_n call_v it_o howesoever_o or_o that_o in_o his_o natural_a body_n there_o be_v any_o change_n make_v of_o the_o substance_n of_o it_o or_o of_o any_o of_o those_o natural_a quality_n and_o essential_a propriety_n which_o it_o retain_v after_o his_o resurrection_n it_o be_v therefore_o manifest_a that_o in_o what_o body_n christ_n rise_v and_o

christ_n human_a nature_n they_o first_o receive_v a_o gift_n for_o substance_n of_o his_o body_n to_o be_v real_o every_o where_n or_o if_o it_o be_v true_a than_o it_o receive_v it_o not_o by_o the_o hypostatical_a union_n which_o be_v make_v in_o his_o very_a incarnation_n 43_o neither_o be_v this_o exception_n any_o thing_n that_o by_o the_o hypostatical_a union_n this_o be_v give_v he_o in_o the_o first_o act_n as_o that_o if_o he_o will_v he_o may_v be_v present_a every_o where_o but_o by_o the_o sit_v at_o god_n right_a hand_n it_o be_v give_v he_o in_o the_o second_o act_n that_o be_v that_o he_o be_v indeed_o present_a every_o where_n 44_o for_o beside_o that_o the_o term_n of_o this_o distinction_n be_v term_n not_o take_v from_o the_o fountain_n of_o israel_n but_o out_o
