H. Zanchius his confession of Christian religion Which novve at length being 70. yeares of age, he caused to bee published in the name of himselfe & his family. Englished in sense agreeable, and in words as answerable to his ovvne latine copie, as in so graue a mans worke is requisite: for the profite of all the vnlearneder sort, of English christians, that desire to know his iudgement in matters of faith.

Ʋpon the 5. chapter of the worlds creation &c. The 2. aphorisme.

That the heauen of the blessed, wherein the Lord Iesus is now in his bodie, doth differ frō the earth, and from the other heauens, and is aboue all those visible heauens: besides that which hath bin already said, these few proofs do also confirme: Eph. 4. Christ is said to haue ascended aboue all heauens: in another place, he is read to haue ascended into heauen, and to bee in heauen, and to sitt at the right hande of the father. Therefore this heauen is aboue the other hea∣uens, and differeth from them. So in the third to the Colloss. the Apostle distinguisheth the place where Christ is at the right hand of the father, from the earth: and calleth it vpward, saying, Seeke yee the things aboue, sett your affecti∣ons

on things aboue, where Christ is: and in the 4. of the first to the Thess. he saieth the Lord shall descend from heauen, namely into these lower partes: and all the godlie shalbe caught vp into the ayre to meete Christ in the cloudes. That heauen therefore is aloft, not on the earth, not in the ayre: much lesse in euerie place. For he shall come downe in the visible shape of his body, frō the high heauen, into these parts, to iudge the quick and the dead. Of this heauen wee haue spoken particularly, in our bookes Do o∣peribus dei, of the workes which he created in the sixe daies. Wee therefore disallow of that doctrine which is contrarie: which distingui∣sheth not the heauen from the earth, nor this heauen, from other heauens, but would proue it to be euerie where.
