Spiritus est vicarius Christi in terra. The poore mans garden, wherein are flowers of the scriptures, and doctours, very necessarie and profitable for the simple and ignoraunt people to reade: / truely collected and diligently gathered together, by Iohn Northbrooke, minister and preacher of the worde of God. Seene and allowed, according to the order appointed in the Queenes iniunctions..

¶ Christes body is but in one place at once, and not in many places.

IF any shal saie vnto you, loe, here is christ,* 1.1 or there, beleeue it not.

Ye haue the poore alwaies with you, but* 1.2 mee shall ye not haue alwaies.

After the Lorde had spoken vnto them, he* 1.3 was receiued into heauen, and sate at the right hande of God.

And they founde the Stone rolled awaie from the Se∣pulchre,* 1.4

And went in, but founde not the bodie of the Lorde Iesus.* 1.5

He is not here, but is risen.* 1.6

And it came to passe, that as he blessed them, he departed* 1.7 from them, and was caried vp into heauen.

I leaue the worlde, and goe to the Father.* 1.8

And when he had spoken these thinges, while thei beheld,* 1.9 he was taken vp: for a Cloude tooke hym vp out of their sight.

Ye men of Galilee, why stande ye gasing into heauen? this* 1.10 Iesus which is taken vp from you into heauen, shall so come, as ye haue seene hym goe into Heauen.

And he shall sende Iesus Christe, which before was prea∣thed* 1.11 vnto you.

Whom the Heauens muste conteine vntill the tyme that* 1.12 all thynges be restored: which God hath spoken by the mouth of his holy Prophetes since the worlde began.

Beholde, I see the Heauens open, and the Sonne of man* 1.13 standyng at the right hande of God.

Though we had knowen Christe after the fleshe, yet now* 1.14 henceforth, know we hym no more.

If ye then be risen with Christ, seeke those thynges which* 1.15 are aboue, where Christe sitteth at the right hand of God.

Our cōuersation is in heauen, from whence also, we looke* 1.16 for the Sauiour, euen the Lorde Iesus Christe.

Wee haue suche an high Prieste, that sitteth at the right* 1.17 hande of the throne of the maiestie in Heauen.

This man, after he had offered one sacrifice for synnes, sit∣teth* 1.18 for euer at the right hand of God.
