II. That heauen is distinguished from earth, and the Saintes heauen doth differ from the other heauens.
Neither doe we mingle heauen with earth, or confound the heauens among themselues,
but with the holie scriptures wee distinguish them: euen as we see the elements, and al the kindes of liuing creatures, & of other things, to be distinguished. And therefore wee con∣fesse this heauen likewise, wherein the soules of the blessed doe liue with Christ, & where all the bodies of the faithfull shall be, & which Christ calleth his fathers house and paradise, and the Apostle calleth a cuie hauing a foundation, the maker and builder whereof is god: to differ frō the other heauēs, but much more, from earth and the deepes. Whereunto also Paule allu∣deth,
where he saieth, he vvas taken vp into the third heauen: namely aboue the heauen which we see, and aboue all the visible and mouea∣ble spheares.
