1. Authoritie of Scripture.
ACts 3.21. Whome the Heaven must receiue vp, (or containe) vn∣till the times of the restitution of all things.

Note then, That the Heavens must con∣taine Christ's glorified bodie, till the ende of the Worlde; as the Beliefe sayth accordinglie, That from that place shall Hee come, to judge the Quicke and the Dead.

Matth. 26.11. The Poore yee haue al-wayes vvith you, but Mee yee shall not haue al-wayes vvith you.

Page 166

Remarke then, That the Popish prac∣tise, would make Christ a liar; while as the Priests say, that they haue Christ al∣wayes with them bodilie betweene their fingers, in their daylie Masses.

Iohn 16.28. I came from the Father, and am come in the World: againe, I leaue the World, and goe to the Father.

Note then, As hee was bodilie pre∣sent in the World, when hee came from the Father; so hee showeth, that accor∣ding to that presence, hee hath left the World, when hee returned to his Father, and is now onlie spirituallie present (as hee promised) with his owne to the end of the World. Matth. 28.20.

Matth. 24.23. Then, if anie man shall say vnto you, Loe, heere is Christ, or there is hee; belieue him not.

So neither should Christians now be∣lieue those consening Priests, that say, Heere is Christ in the Masse, Host, or there in the Pixe, or Procession.

Acts 7.56. And hee saide, Be∣holde, I see the Heavens opened, and the Sonne of Man standing at the right hand of God.

Beholde heere then, the witnessing of the first Martyre, where hee declareth the glorified bodie of Christ, onelie to bee in Heaven.
