What is the Historie of Christs Ascention?

IT is to be taken first out of Mark▪ ca. 16.19. The Lord, after he had spoken vnto thē, was againe taken vp into heauen, and sate on the right hand of God. Againe out of Luke in the Gospell, cap. 24.50. After∣ward he led them out into Bethania, and lift vp his hands and blessed them. And it came to passe, that whilest he blessed them, he departed from them, and was caried vp into heauen:

And in the Acts. cap. 1.9. And when he had spoke these things, while they beheld, he was taken vp, for a cloud tooke him vp out of their sight, and while they looked stedfastly to heauen, as he vvent, behold two men stood by them in vvhite apparell. ƲƲhich also said, Ye men of Galile, vvhy stand ye gazing into heauen? this Iesus vvhich is taken vp from yov into heauen, shall so come as ye haue seene him goe into heauen.

And Paule beareth record of it. Ephe. 4.8. VVherfore the scripture saith. Psa. 69.19▪ When he ascēded vp on high, he led coptiuitie captiue, and gaue gifts vnto men. Novv in that he ascended, vvhat is it but that he had also descended first into the lowest parts of the earth. He that des∣cended is euen the same that ascended farre aboue all heauen's, that he might fill all things. See 1. Tim. 3.16. Heb. 4.14. & 9.24.
