which_o verse_n the_o father_n will_v have_v not_o paul_n speech_n but_o luke_n to_o be_v continue_v therefore_o the_o father_n exposition_n be_v not_o repugnant_a to_o the_o text_n nor_o yet_o with_o

hereupon_o follow_v that_o exposition_n whereof_o we_o speak_v before_o that_o it_o be_v not_o ungodlie_a to_o say_v simple_o and_o absolute_o that_o the_o hypocrite_n do_v eat_v not_o only_o the_o

the_o sound_a father_n that_o these_o thing_n also_o must_v be_v understand_v especial_o according_a to_o the_o same_o humane_a nature_n 55_o the_o exaltation_n of_o christ_n humane_a nature_n above_o all_o thing_n may_v be_v understand_v two_o way_n either_o in_o respect_a of_o the_o local_a place_n as_o this_o he_o ascend_v above_o all_o the_o heaven_n that_o the_o meaning_n may_v be_v the_o humane_a nature_n be_v place_v local_o above_o all_o create_a thing_n or_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o excellent_a pre-eminence_n of_o the_o dignity_n and_o power_n thereof_o &_o then_o the_o meaning_n may_v be_v christ_n even_o touch_v his_o humane_a nature_n be_v set_v over_o all_o create_a thing_n and_o to_o he_o be_v give_v power_n and_o authority_n over_o all_o thing_n for_o in_o these_o two_o

thereupon_o the_o ubiquity_n can_v be_v prove_v see_v christ_n in_o that_o in_o his_o humane_a nature_n he_o may_v use_v his_o authority_n over_o all_o creature_n although_o he_o be_v not_o in_o substance_n of_o body_n every_o where_o if_o the_o former_a way_n than_o he_o be_v not_o every_o where_n see_v that_o which_o be_v every_o where_o be_v aswell_o beneath_o and_o at_o and_z within_z as_o above_o all_o creature_n 57_o but_o paul_n do_v plain_o teach_v that_o christ_n touch_v his_o humane_a nature_n do_v so_o rise_v from_o the_o dead_a that_o he_o be_v no_o long_o among_o the_o dead_a and_o so_o ascend_v into_o heaven_n that_o he_o be_v no_o long_o on_o earth_n and_o so_o be_v exalt_v above_o all_o creature_n sit_v at_o the_o father_n right_a hand_n that_o he_o be_v nether_a

now_o the_o head_n be_v above_o all_o the_o body_n 60_o the_o apostle_n therefore_o mean_v nothing_o less_o by_o his_o word_n of_o christ_n sit_v at_o god_n right_a hand_n then_o to_o conclude_v that_o christ_n body_n in_o it_o own_o substance_n be_v present_a in_o all_o place_n wherefore_o they_o do_v great_a wrong_n to_o the_o apostle_n which_o by_o their_o cavil_n labour_v to_o conclude_v this_o out_o of_o his_o word_n 61_o neither_o can_v any_o such_o ubiquity_n be_v prove_v by_o any_o necessary_a consequence_n out_o of_o that_o article_n of_o faith_n 62_o for_o although_o it_o be_v
