pofed a kind of credo, or formula of faith, called the 

 " Form of Concord ;" wherein the ubiquity was eitablilhed 

 as an article. See Form of Concord. 



Mufculus, one of thefe leaders, and the moft zealous 

 advocate of the ubiquity, exprefsly maintains, that the afcen- 

 fion of Chrift into heaven was nothing more than a ceafing 

 to be vifible, and that it is not performed by any phyfical 

 motion, or change of place : and in 1575 he pubUllied a 

 book to prove that it is by no means neceflary, that the 

 glorious body of Chiift (hould phyfically fill up any fpace. 

 And he declares in a fetmon in 1564, that they who teach 

 that Jefus Chrift died only as to his human nature, belong 

 to the devil, both body and foul ; and that the true doftrine 

 is, that he died as to his human and divine nature. Hofpin.

All the Ubiquifts, however, are not agreed : fome of 

 them, and among the reft the Swedes, hold that Jefus Chrift, 

 even during his mortal life, was every where : others main- 

 tain, that it is only fince his afcenfion that his body is every 

 where. 



G. Hornius only allows Brentius the honour of being the 

 firft propagator of ubiquitifm ; its firft inventor, according 

 to him, was John of Weftphalia, or Weftphalus, a minifter 

 of Hamburgh, in 1552. 



But according to Hofpinian, Weftphalus oppofed the 

 opinion concerning the ubiquity advanced by Brentius and 

 Schmidehn. Bayle, art. IVeflphahis.

UBIQUITY, Omnipresence; an attribute of the God- 

 head, whereby he is always intimately prefent to all things ; 

 gives the effe to all things ; and knows, preferves, and does 

 all in all things. 



For fince God cannot be faid to exift in all places, as 

 placed therein, (becaufe, then, he would need fomething 

 to his exift;ence, viz. place ; and would have extenfion, 

 parts, &c. ) he muft be conceived to be every where, or 

 in all things, as a firft, univerfal, efficient caufe, in all his 

 effefts. 



He is prefent, therefore, to all his creatures, as a pure 

 aft, or an exercife of an aftive virtue, which knows, pre- 

 ferves, governs, &c. every thing. Nor are even finite minds 

 prefent otherwife than by operation. See God.
