must_v be_v such_o a_o one_o as_o descend_v first_o that_o be_v such_o a_o one_o as_o come_v down_o from_o heaven_n before_o and_o then_o he_o must_v be_v in_o heaven_n before_o the_o beginning_n if_o in_o the_o beginning_n he_o ascend_v into_o heaven_n which_o they_o say_v but_o then_o mark_v the_o clause_n that_o be_v one_o who_o be_v in_o heaven_n when_o our_o saviour_n speak_v it_o to_o the_o

of_o the_o preterperfect_a tense_n he_o be_v in_o heaven_n i_o confess_v such_o a_o language_n be_v many_o time_n use_v but_o that_o it_o shall_v be_v so_o here_o i_o utter_o deny_v for_o it_o be_v not_o fit_a for_o we_o to_o think_v that_o our_o saviour_n in_o so_o pithy_a a_o short_a delivery_n of_o such_o mystery_n do_v use_v any_o tautology_n or_o unnecessary_a or_o non-significant_a term_n now_o consider_v if_o he_o have_v say_v that_o no_o man_n ascend_v into_o heaven_n but_o he_o that_o descend_v who_o be_v in_o heaven_n what_o will_v this_o last_o clause_n add_v to_o the_o rest_n no_o man_n can_v ascend_v up_o to_o heaven_n but_o then_o he_o must_v be_v in_o heaven_n no_o man_n can_v descend_v from_o heaven_n but_o then_o when_o he_o descend_v he_o must_v be_v there_o and_o this_o be_v apparent_a to_o every_o man_n upon_o the_o repeat_n of_o the_o very_a term_n who_o understand'_v they_o and_o therefore_o if_o it_o shall_v be_v construe_v who_o be_v in_o heaven_n there_o must_v be_v something_o more_o in_o it_o then_o i_o can_v discern_v or_o else_o it_o be_v a_o tautology_n but_o no_o such_o thing_n take_v it_o who_o be_v in_o heaven_n because_o that_o be_v neither_o

allow_v in_o his_o 7._o chap._n against_o the_o 10._o of_o wiceus_fw-la thus_o a_o man_n may_v be_v say_v to_o ascend_v into_o heaven_n as_o i_o speak_v before_o as_o socrates_n by_o contemplation_n and_o to_o descend_v by_o look_v down_o and_o busie_v himself_o about_o the_o thing_n of_o this_o world_n so_o god_n be_v say_v to_o humble_v himself_o to_o behold_v the_o thing_n that_o be_v in_o

according_a to_o those_o two_o nature_n which_o be_v in_o that_o one_o person_n no_o man_n ascend_v etc._n etc._n christ_n humanity_n be_v elevate_v by_o the_o incarnation_n and_o union_n it_o have_v

enforce_v his_o argument_n to_o prove_v what_o go_v before_o to_o nicodemus_n if_o i_o have_v tell_v you_o earthly_a thing_n and_o you_o believe_v not_o how_o shall_v you_o believe_v if_o i_o tell_v

be_v in_o heaven_n by_o ascent_n by_o descent_n by_o a_o present_a inhabitation_n now_o let_v we_o see_v how_o this_o can_v agree_v with_o our_o saviour_n bodily_a ascent_n into_o heaven_n indeed_o in_o the_o first_o sense_n i_o do_v wonder_n socinus_n and_o they_o do_v not_o apply_v it_o to_o our_o saviour_n be_v with_o god_n in_o contemplation_n even_o before_o john_n baptist_n his_o preach_n
