Inference 1.
* 1.1Did Christ ascend into Heaven? Is our Iesus our treasure in∣deed there? Where then should the hearts of believers be, but in Heaven where their Lord their Life is? Surely Saints it is not good that your Love, and your Lord should be in two several Countries, said one that is now with him. Up, up, after your Lover, that he and you may be together. Christians you ascended with him virtually when he ascended, you shall ascend to him personally hereafter, oh that you would ascend to him Spiritually in acts of Faith, Love and desires daily. Sursum Corda, up with your hearts, was the form used by the Ancient Church, at the Sa∣crament. How good were it if we could say with the Apostle, Phil. 3.21. Our Conversation is in Heaven from whence we look for a Saviour. An heart ascendant, is the best evidence of your interest in Christs ascension.
