In thy Queries thy speech bewrayes thee thy language is the language of Aegypt for in it thou makes it clearly manifest that thou knowes not Christ at all not in the least measure for where the first Principle of Truth is made manifest it is the same that ever was and never changes and thou askes whether Christ be now conversant upon earth amongst men since his Ascension as he was in the Apostles time Dost thou know what thou askes Did he not appear to the Apostles since his Ascension in the most glorious manner that ever thou read and is he not the same now as he was then What would thou make of him thou dark sottish beast such a one as thy self who would be pleading for darknesse and ignorance of God but praise and glory to him who hath discovered thee and all such deceivvers as thou art 20 Quer. VVhether did not Christ dwell among his Saints after another and more visible manner than now he dwels in his Saints Ans. There again thou hast shewed thy ignorance of the Scripture and for thy word visible he is not nor never was visible to thee nor to thy generation for those that did professe the Scriptures as thou and thy Generation doth crucified him and said he was of the devill as thou and such as thou art doth now thou blasphemer where hast thou a Scripture that saith that Christ would dwell in his Saints after another manner Did he not say It is expedient for you that I go away and I go and prepare a place for you and I will come again and receive you unto my self that where I am there you may be also and ye have heard how I have said I go away and come again unto you and if ye loved me ye would rejoice because I go unto the Father and Christ Jesus saith in the 14.
