in thin● hart that God raised him vp from the dead thou shalt be saued T● the Philippians he sayth more ouer I count al things but loss● for the excellent knowledge sake of Iesus Christe Out of all this is there yet another thing concluded namely that not onli life is restored vnto vs but also that in the resurrection of the Lord the immortalitye of the soule is grounded faste and sure For so sayth the lord himself in the gospell I am the resurrection and the life he that beleueth on me thoughe he were deade he shall liue and whosoeuer liueth and beleueth on me shall neuer die Yet another frute also receiue we out of the resurrection of the lord namely that we are assured out of doute euen as if we had receiued wryting seale therof that our owne bodies likewise shal rise from death forasmuch as in the true resurrection of the body of Christ oure resurrection hath a fast and vmnoueable grounde For Paule sayeth Christe ros● from the deade is become th● first frutes of them that sleepe Fo● by one mā came death by on● man came the resurrection of ● dead For as by Adam all die by Christ shal all be made aliue but euery one in his own order ▪ The first is Christe then they are Christes c. Now he that i● the first can not be alone the hea● also shal not forsake the mēber ▪ Seing then that Christ the head ● risen it must needes folow tha● we also as members muste ri● again For euen in the same plac● doth Paule conclude if the dea● rise not again thē is not Chri●● risen againe And finally oute of the wordes of the holye Apostle Paul we learn that thorow the ensāple of Christe that was raised vp we are not onli prouoked to take vpon vs a new life but that we also thorowe the power of Christ are renued that we mighte leade an innocent and holye life And thus haue I breefely comprehēded and declared the principall frutes of the resurrection of the Lorde CHAP. 6. Of the true Ascension of the Lordes body that arose a bodye and no Spirite and of his place vvhether hee vvent to be in MOreouer it shall be exdient to know to what place the true body of the Lorde was caried or came whether it was laid in the earthe againe or vanished away or turned into the nature of the Godhead or otherwise chaunged into a sprite In this poynt we affirm thus The right old Christian faith the vpright holy scripture the auncient Doctrine of the Christian church doth teach hold and cōfes that Iesus Christ very go● and mā hath not laid away no● mixt together nor yet put of hi● natures the godhead the ma●hode but that he kepeth stil bothe natures in theyr properties v●blemished that he ascended v● to heauen very true God ma● For so we knowledge and confes in the Crede he ascended vp to heauen We finde also in the gospell of Marke so then when the Lord had spoken vnto them he was receiued into heauen sitteth on the right hand of god Item Ruffinus an olde wryter who hath declared the articles of the faith saith he ascēded into the heauens not thether where the worde that is God was not afore for he was euer stil in heauen and continued in his father ●ut thether wher the word that became man sate not afore Yet ●il we declare this more plain●y out of the gospel of Luke wher ●t is written thus and he led thē out into Bethanie lifte vp hi● handes and blessed them And ● came to pas as he blessed them he departed from them and wa● caried vp into heauen Nowe if thou ponder euery thing heere thorowly thou mu●● needes acknowledge and bein● ouercome wyth the truthe tho● must nedes confesse that the very true body of the lord was n● layd away neyther turned int● the nature of the godhead but h● a very true mā who at one ti●● is but in one place ascended a● was taken vp into heauen as ● to one place He led them out● saith he Who I prai the. Eue● the Lorde Iesus whiche vnto than by the space of forty daies had in very deede truely shewed himselfe vnto his disciples that he was risen from the dead with a very true essencial body Euen he the very same that had taken vnto him a true bodi led his disciples out vnto Bethanye frō thence brought he them farther to Mount Oliuet And in the same place lifting vp his handes no doubt bodely humain hands yea with the prints tokens of the woundes he blessed them ●amely his disciples that is he saluted them as the maner is of ●hose that take their leaue of vs And so departed he from them ● set his body corporally in heauen as in one place For afterward it foloweth yet more plaī he departed from them that is he was caried into heauen For to be caryed may heare be spoken only of the body and in suche sorte departed he from them that his body was frō the earth taken vp into heauen And though all this be euiden● and plain in it self yet by the Euangelist Luke in the Actes o● the Apostles it is set forthe an● opened more manifestly For afore all things he testifieth that th● Lord arose with his owne true b●dy and that by the space of 4● daies with many tokens euide●ces he plainli proued declar● his resurrection vnto the Disciples And immediatly he addeth therevnto that euen the very same body was taken vp into heauen For whan he had spoken these things saith he while they beheld him he was takē vp on hie and a cloud receiued him vp out of their sight Lo the Lord was taken vp yea euen in their eye sight was he taken vp on hie so that a cloud receiued his very true body away frō the sight of their eyes I beseche you what can be more aptly or more conuenientli spoken of an essencial body It foloweth farther in the Euangelist Luke and while they loked stedfastly vp towards heauen as he went mark that wel beholde two men stode by them in white Apparell which also sayd ye menne of Galilee why stand ye gasing vp into heauen This same Iesus who is taken vp from you into heauen shal so come euen as ye haue seene him go into heauen Wherfore oure Lord Iesus is departed vp into heauen with his own true essentiall body yea euen with the same which he raised vp from the dead For euen with the same very true humaine bodye shall he come again vnto iudgement according as the Lord himselfe sayd the Prophet Zachary whose words s Ihon aledgeth They shal loke on him whō they haue pearsed Thus I truste it is sufficiently proued and declared that the Lord Iesus with his own very true bodye which he raised from deathe is gone vp into
bodye which nowe is deuided parted in his members and ioyntes remaineth that is he shall haue true flesh blud bones synewes ioynts members c. CHAP. 15. The maner hovve the bodies shall rise againe and the kinde that they shall be of BVt to the intēt that this ●ay yet be more plainly vnderstand I wil nowe tel howe oure bodies shall rise what nature and kinde they shall be of in the resurrection At the ende of the world shall the Lord come with great maiesty vnto iudgement and shall declare and shewe him selfe in and with a righte true essenciall body Hether also to shal he be brought shal stand in the clouds of heauen that al flesh may se him Yea al men that are vpon earth shal beholde him and know him by his glory In the mean season also shall he send his Archangel to blow the trompe Then shall all the dead heare and perceiue the voice and power of the sonne of god And so al men that died from the first Adam shal immediatly arise out of the earth And al they that liue vntil the last day shall in the twinkling of an eye be changed And thus all men euery one in hys owne flesh shal stand before the iudgement se●te of oure Lorde Iesus Christ and shall wait for the last sentence and iudgement of the Lord which sentence being geuen quicklye and withoute delay shall call one part into heauen and thrust out the other into hell This fashion and maner of the resurrection haue not I imagined of my selfe but written it al out of the Euangelists scriptures of the holy Apostles For thus we reade The powers of heauen shal moue in the last time and then shall appeare the signe of the sonne of man in heauen then shall all the kinreds of the earth mourn they shall see the sonne of mā come in the cloudes of heauen with power greate glory And he shall send his Angels with the great voyce of a trōpet they shal gather together his chosen frō the foure winds from the one end of the world to the other c. Herevnto adde that he spake in Mathewe Iohn And Paul in the first to the Thessalonians saithe This say we vnto you in the word of the lord that we which liue are remaining in the comming of the lord shall not come before thē which slepe For the Lord himself shall descend from heauen with a shout the voice of the Archangell ● trompe of god And the dead i● Christ shal arise first Then sha● we that liue remaine be caught vp with them also in the clouds t● mete the lord in the ayre And s● shal we euer be with the Lorde Furthermore to the Corinthian● saith Paul behold I shew you mystery We shal not all sleepe but we shall all be changed an● that in a moment in the twin●ling of an eye at the time of th● last trompe For the trompe sha● blowe and the dead shall rise incorruptible and we shal be changed For this corruptible must put on incorruption and this mortall must put on immortality This is nowe the maner of the resurrection of oure bodies in what nature and kind they shall rise againe But in the resurrection they shall thorow the power of God be made immortall incorruptible For the Apostle saith expresly the dead shall rise againe After that he saithe this corruptible mortall must put on incorruption and immortality In the which words the terme this poynteth directly as wyth a finger to oure liuing and humaine body And so Iob saide euen I my selfe shall see him none other Wherfore our bodies after thei be risen againe from death shall remain euen in their own right state substance as afore Yea euen the very same men shal kepe still theyr nature kind as they did afore sauing that they which afore time wer subiect to frailti shall from thence forth be pure clean perfect immortal of a sincere and purified nature subiect and obedient vnto the spirite Such bodies raised frō death did the olde wryters call glorified purified or glorious bodies that according to the doctrine of the holy Apostles Albeit ther wer some which abused that word and therfore made the veritye of the bodies void of none effect beginning to dispute of glorified bodies as of the pure substāce estate of a spirite Whereof we shall speake shortly if God will. CHAP. 16. That Paule spake rightly of a glorified body and vvhat a glorified body is and vvhat a naturall BVt nowe wil I declare that Paule did rightly wel vse this worde glorious or glorified body euen as it is truli in it self For to the Philippiās he sayth Our dwelling is in heauen frō whence we loke for the sauiour euē Iesus Christ the lord which shall change our vile earthy body that it may be fashioned like vnto his own glorious body according to the working wherby he is able to subdue all things vnto himselfe In thys sentence thou haste that terme glorified body thou hast also of what nature and kinde the glorified body shal be namely whole and as the body of Christ that rose againe from death And thus shal it not be a body vtterly made voide or brought to nothīg or altogether turned into a sprite therefore hauing no roume place incōprehensible and inuisible but it shal be an vprighte very true humaine body as it is sufficiently declared afore where I spake of the true resurrectiō of the lord In the which place we vnderstande that whan the Lordes disciples thought they had sene a spirit whan they saw the Lorde he said vnto them a spirit hath not flesh bones as ye see me haue Handle me and see for it is euen I my selfe The Lord also after his resurrection set before them some fashion or euidence of hys glorification namely whan he was transfigured before them And at that time remained the right essenciall substance of the bodye but in forme and fashion it was altered in that it became glorious So stādeth it plainly he was transfigured and not that he was made voyde or broughte to nothing or altered into another substance Thus saith Paule also he shall change our body c. Wherfore euen the righte true substance of the glorified bodye shall remaine still As for the change or alteration it shal be in the infirmities that happen vnto vs So that whan the body taketh vpon it the glorification and immortality they shal be wholly remoued and fall away Howbeit this shal be more euident and plain to vnderstand if it be thorow and with diligēce considered and declared what this worde glory or glorification meaneth For transfiguration glory glorification is one thing So saith holy Augustin in his boke against the Arrians To bring to glory to make glorious and to glorify are .iij. vvordes yet is it but
the vniforme and vniuersal opinion of all faithful which also witnesseth that in the life to come the blessed shall knowe one another For whan we talke of deathe and of the state and case of the life to come we say though we nowe must departe a sonder yet shall we see one another againe in the eternall country Socrates also the righte famous and most excellent among all the wise men of the heathen marked such a like thing sawe it as in a dreame whan as Cicero witnesseth of him he was vnto death condemned of the iudges or counsel and nowe should drinke the poyson For he sayd O howe muche better and more blessed is it to goe vnto them that well and vprightlye liued here in time then to remaine here in this life vpon earthe O howe deare and worthy a thing is it that I may talke wyth Orpheus Museus Homerus Hesiodus with those excellent mē Verely I woulde not onely die once but manye sondry times also if it were possible to obtain the same c. After this sort like as in a dreame did the good Philosopher imagine in himself ioyes vaine and of none effecte But we promes vnto our selues true assured ioy in that we hope and knowe that in the eternall and euer during countrye after the oesurrection of the dead we shall see Adam our firste father Noe the dearly beloued frende of God Abraham to whom god made speciall greate promises Moses the most gentle hearted man and one that had greatest experience of all the mysteries of god Samuel the frendly and louing prophet Dauid the king and Prophet who was Gods elect according to his owne wil and desire Iosias the most godly and best among all the kings of Iuda likewise Iohn the Baptiste holyer then whome there was none borne of woman and with all these the holy Virgine Mary the mother of God and highly replenished wyth grace among all wemen Item Peter Iohn Iames chefest of the Apostles with the other disciples of Christ Paul the famous teacher of the Heathen and all the holy congregatiō of the Patriarks Prophets Apostles Martirs and faithfull beleuers As for our glorified and pure vnderstanding memory nowe endued wyth immortalitye the multitude and infinite number of the blessed in our said natiue country shall nether greeue nor entangle the same From the beginning of the creation there was in Adam a wonderfull and excellent efficacie of vnderstāding and remembraunce forasmuche as vnto all things and to euery one in especiall what so euer was wythin the whole compasse of the world created yea in paradise also he gaue theyr names and knew euery one A muche more excellent more pure and more cleare vnderstāding shall God geue to the raised vp and glorified bodies so that they shall not lacke nor be destitute of any thing at all And where as the blessed shal reioyce and haue ioye together one wyth another yet shall all their delight be in the only god who shall be all in all Of these euerlasting heauenly things more farther to wryte I haue not at this present How be it there shal be graciously geuen vs things far greater muche more glorious more ioyfull and more diuine then we can comprehend namely saluation as it is in it selfe in that daye whan we after the ouercōming and treading downe of deathe thorow our Lord Iesus Christ shall be caried vp and taken to heauen into eternal ioy and saluation Touching the whych I haue hetherto wryttē not according to the Maiesty and worthinesse thereof but after my small ability in most humble wise God the father of all mercye thorowe hys deare sonne oure Lord redemer Iesus Christe vouchsafe graciously to take vs pore sinners vp to his glorye after the ioyfull resurrection of oure body that we long for to geue shew vs the vnoutspeakable ioy which he hathe prepared for all faithfull beleuers that we euer liuing and hauing ioy in him maye prayse him for euer euer that is from eternity to eternity So be it With Christ euen in death is life FINIS Math. 12. 1.
