Moreover, scripture has carefully explained to us Jesus Christ's ascension, by which He withdrew from our sight and life the presence of His body, in order to take from us all carnal thoughts of Him; and whenever scripture mentions Jesus Christ, it exhorts us to lift up our spirits on high and to seek Him in heaven seated at the right of the Father (Col. 3111); therefore we should worship Him spiritually in the glory of the heavens rather than invent this very dangerous form of worship which fills us with stupid and carnal thoughts of God and Jesus Christ.
