Flesh of God the Word in Heaven together with God the Word I shall not here take Notice of the Dialogue against the Marcionites which is extant under Origen's Name in which the Catholick Doctrine of the Resurrection of the Same Humane Body is zealously asserted and maintain'd against those Hereticks I do not take it to be Origen's Yet t is certain that it is very ancient There are some that reckon Origen among the Asserters of the Millennarian Doctrine which Doctrine supposes a Resurrection of a true Humane Body But I think it is a Mistake Quis haec audiens resurrectionem carnis eum negare putet So St. Jerom after those Words of Origen which I but now transcrib'd from him Who would believe that Origen who in so many Places of his Works acknowledges the Resurrection of the Same Humane Body should in others advance quite contrary Notions and Opinions Whatever Pamphilus alledges in his behalf it is too too True that he did so You desire me to give you a particular account of his Opinions relating to the Resurrection Huetius I remember in his Origeniana treats largely of 'em But I have not that Work at present by me You must therefore be contented with what I have to present you of my own In short they are These 1. That in some places of his Works he advances this Opinion That the Body in the Resurrection is made up of new Particles by growing as Corn does out of a Seed I have already shewn In the First Canon of the Council of Trulla it is said that He and his Followers Evagrius and Didymus spoke wickedly and contumeliously of the Resurrection of the Dead Aristinus tells us more particularly that they foolishly said that these very Bodies that we now have are not to rise They denied says the Anonymous Author De Synodis the Resurrection of that Body which now we have They taught says another Anonymous Writer De Synodis That our Bodies are not to rise Epiphanius tells us that the Followers of Origen acknowledg'd the Resurrection of the Dead and of our flesh and of the Body of our Lord the same that was conceiv'd of the Virgin Mary yet they did not own that the same flesh shall rise but that another will be substituted by God in its Place And the same he says was the Opinion of the Hereticks call'd Hieracites that there will be a Resurrection of the flesh but not of this which now we have but another which will be substituted in its Place 2. St. Jerom says that the Followers of Origen when urg'd by the Catholicks would acknowledge the Resurrection not only of the Body but also of the flesh and if they were press'd very hard and were ask'd whether they own'd the Resurrection of this same Flesh which we now have which is seen and touch'd and walks and speaks they would assent even to that too But if they were ask'd whether they own'd that the Body in the Resurrection will have Hands and Feet a Belly Breast Teeth and the other Parts which make up a Humane Body that they denied 3. The same Author tells us that Origen in many places of his Works especially in his IV. Book Concerning the Resurrection and in his Exposition of the First Psalm and in his Stromata denied that the Body will rise with Bones Blood and flesh and such Parts and Members as now we have or with difference of Sexes and affirm'd that it will be Aereal Ethereal intangible and invisible and that whereas we now see with our Eyes hear with our Ears work with our Hands and walk with our Feet we shall then be all Sight all Hearing c. That the Body will be Subtle and Ethereal he asserts in his Comment on St. Matthew And in his Second Book against Celsus we are told that the Body of Christ after his Resurrection was so constituted as to be of a middle Temper between the fineness of the Soul and the grossness it had before his Death St. Maximus likewise observes that in some of his Books 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 so I read it as a Manuscript has it not 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 in one of his Books he made the rising Body to be Ethereal 4. The Account which St. Methodius gives of his Opinion is this He tells us in one place that Origen taught That in the Resurrection we shall have the same species of Body the same Form or Appearance yet it will not consist of the same Matter as our Bodies in old Age retain the same Species yet have not any the same Particles which we had in our Youth In another place he says that Origen in his Comment on the LXV Psalm compared our Bodies to a Bladder full of Water if you let the Water run and keep pouring in new the Bladder retains the same form though the Water be all chang'd so says he it is with the Body in the Resurrection it is not numerically the same Body yet the Form and Figure is the same tho' made more Glorious 5. The same Author adds that according to Origen tho' the Body in the Resurrection retains the same intire Species or form yet it throws off its earthly Qualities and tho' it has the Shape and Figure of a Body of Flesh yet it is not flesh And this says he he proves from that Assertion of St. Paul that Flesh and Blood cannot inherit the Kingdom of Heaven which is spoken only of the Infirmities and Corruptions of Flesh and Blood and from other Texts of that kind 6. The same Author tells us in Photius that Origen made the Body in the Resurrection to consist of Air and Fire 7. From the same and other Authors it appears that he asserted with the Platonists that the Body is no part of the Man but the Soul alone is the whole Man and that the Body is the P●…ison of the Soul into which it is sent by way of punishment for some Sin it had committed in a state of Pre-existence 8. Agreeable to this is that Fansie of his concerning the Creation of our first Parents Adam and Eve That they were created nudae mentes and had not any Bodies 'till after their Fall that then God cloath'd 'em with Bodies by way of Punishment And this he says is meant by that place in Genesis where 't is said that unto Adam and to his Wife did the Lord God make Coats of Skins and cloath'd them By Coats of Skins he understands Bodies 9. In his Books against Celsus he tells us that the reason why the Body is to rise and be united to the Soul is because the Soul cannot move without a Material Vehicle 10. In other places he tells us that the Soul is never without a Material Vehicle and that it is not capable of being rewarded or punish'd but in a Body and that before the Resurrection it is rewarded or punish'd

Serpent should be dead the Bones that were there gathered together would return to the Bodies to which they appertain'd formerly and so should go and remain for ever in the House of the Moon To these Opinions adds my Author they join many others such like unto which they give so much faith that nothing can be able to remove them from it For it is the Doctrine that is preach'd unto them by their Bonzees who also tell them that the true way to make a Soul happy is to gather the Bones of the Dead together into this Place by means whereof there is not a day passes but a Thousand or Two Thousand Bones are brought thither Now if some for their far distance cannot bring all the Bones whole together they will at leastwise bring a Tooth or Two and so they say that by way of an Alms they make as good satisfaction as if they brought all the rest Which is the reason that in all these Charnel-Houses there is such an infinite multitude of these Teeth that one might lade many Ships with them Thus far Pinto I wish I could quote you a better Author Tho the silence of all other Travellers who have given an Account of that Country and particularly of the City of Pequin and the oddness of the Story it self be enough to perswade one that the whole is no better than an idle Fable yet that which he says of the Combat maintain'd with the Devil 3000 Years already and to be continued 3000 Years more comes up so near to the Opinion of the Ancient Magi those great Theologists of the East which Plutarch gives an account of that from thence it may be concluded that the whole is not fabulous but that there may be some truth in it For it is not likely that so illiterate a Person as Pinto knew what Plutarch relates of the Magi. I shall leave the whole to your Judgment and to the Enquiries of such as shall hereafter visit that City Kircher mentions a Sect of the Chinese call'd Lanzu which says he Paradisum spondet ex animâ corpore constitutis in suis templis quorundam effigies exponunt quos hac ratione ad Coelos evolasse fabulantur Ad eam rem consequendam exercitationes quasdam praescribunt positas in vario sedendi ritu certisque precationibus imo etiam pharmacis quibus spondent unà cum suorum Divorum favore vitam in mortali corpore longiorem We read in Joh. Ludovicus Gotofridus that the Chinese celebrate the Memory of Twelve certain Philosophers who they say were for their Vertue Translated into Heaven And another affirms of the Chinese in general That they believe a Resurrection And he brings this Argument to prove it That sometimes they will lend Money to be repaid 'em in the other World This is reported of some amongst 'em by several Travellers But whether it be a sufficient Argument I leave to the Judgment of others The Ninth is the Eastern Tartars who inhabit on the North of China Pinto whom I but now quoted has a Relation concerning them much the same with what he has given us of the Chinese He tells us that he saw in that Country about the Temple of a Celebrated Idol a great many Houses full of the Skulls and Bones of dead Men the Idol very vast and monstrous with a great Bowl of Iron in his Hands and this is the Account he gives of it from the Mouth as he says of a Tartar of no mean Quality That that Idol or God is the Treasurer of the Bones of all those that are born into the World to the end that at the last Day when Men come to be born again he means rise again he may give to every one the same Bones which he had upon Earth And that the Bowl he holds in his Hands is to fling at the Devil when he should come thither to steal away any of those Bones I have told you my Author one as I have already hinted whose Relations I dare not Insure Out of Asia we will pass if you please into Africa and then into the other two parts of the World and see if those parts afford us any other Examples My Tenth Instance is the People of Arder a Country in Guinnee near Rio da Volta They believe as the Dutch Relations assure us that the Bodies of such as are slain in the Wars do rise again within Two Days after they are buried and go to another Life and this they averr they have found by experience This Opinion is cherish'd by their Fetisero's or Priests who steal as we may suppose the dead Bodies out of their Graves They say that in the Bodies of those that are not slain in the Wars the Blood congeals and therefore they are not to expect a Resurrection The Eleventh is the Prussians here in Europe That they before they were converted to the Christian Faith believ'd not only the Immortality of the Soul but also the Resurrection of the Body is asserted by Christophorus Hartknochius in his Borussia Vetus Nova The Twelfth is the Virginians in America A French Author tells us That they have a small glimpse of this sacred Truth And a Traveller of our own who lived long among 'em and has written a large Account of their Country and Manners seems to intimate the same thing His Words are as follows They think that their Werowances i. e. their Governors and Priests when they are dead go beyond the Mountains towards the setting of the Sun and ever remain there in form of their Okee i. e. their God to whom they attribute a Human Shape with their Heads painted with Oyl and Ponones a Herb so called finely trimmed with Feathers and shall have Beads Hatchets Copper and Tobacco doing nothing but dance and sing with all their Predecessors But the Common People they suppose shall not live after Death but rot in their Graves like dead Dogs In a Marginal Note he calls this expresly their Resurrection The Inhabitants of Louisiana another Country in the Northern America lately discover'd by the French seem to hold That the Soul after Death shall be re-united to its Body My Author's Words are these Animas superstites esse corporibus fatentur in Regione amoena resumptis Corporibus venaturos esse mortuos nugantur eâque de causâ instrumenta arma sepultis addunt horumqúe utensilium spiritum etiam revicturum esse aiunt Jarricus relates That the Brasilians enslav'd by the Portuguese used to boast that their Friends who died some Centuries of Years ago would come thither again in a Ship and free their Posterity from slavery and root out the Portuguese And had this Opinion current among 'em That no one that believ'd this would be excluded Heaven but they that did not would be rent in pieces by wild Beasts It 's storied of the People of Hispaniola and the adjacent Isles that
