the other rheir new ioyes ❧ Whilest they spake these things and it was the same day at nighte which was the first day of the Sabaoths the dores wer shut where the disciples were assēbled together for feare of the iewes came Iesus stode in the middest of them and sayed vnto them Peace be vnto you And they were abashed and affearde and supposed that they had sene a spirite and he sayd vnto them why are ye troubled and why do thoughtes arise in your hartes And agayne he sayd vnto them peace be vnto you and when he had thus spoken he shewed vnto them hys handes and hys syde and therwythall sayed Luke saieth his handes and feete behold my handes and my fete that it is euen I my selfe handle me and see for a spyryte hath not fleshe and bones as ye see me haue Then were the dysciples gladde when they saw the Lorde and whyle they yet beleued not for ioye and wondered he sayd vnto them haue ye here anye meate For he appeared vnto the eleuen as they satte at meate cast in their teeth their vnbelief and hardnes of harte because they beleued not them whyche had seene that he was risen agayn And they offred him a pyece of broyled fyshe and a piece of an honye combe he tooke it and did eate it in theyr syghtes WE see againe how Christ according to his promyse is present with his which are assembled gathered together in hys name For feare causeth them not to be the lesse beloued of Christe And euen in the faythfull there is a feare dread but they which are stronger in spirite ought to erect those vp For that is it which Christ sayth ye shall haue oppression in the world but in me peace There shal be alwayes men therefore which shal persecute the iust so that the flesh which is in them shal neuer be without dread complaint But yet the godly persist in the wil of God til it be the lords pleasure to delyuer them how so euer the flesh in the meane tyme do struggle and complaine But what nede had the glorified body of meate He eateth not to refresh his body and he vseth not this corporall meate for necessitye but to declare vnto his the veritie of humayn nature in him He eateth not therfore for him selfe but for his Apostles So let vs also doe those thinges which serue for the edifieng of our neighbors although there be no necessitye for vs to do them For we oughte to lyue and serue not our selues but our neighbours ❧ But Thomas one of the twelue which is called Didimus was not with them when Iesus came The other disciples therfore said vnto hī we haue sene the Lorde but he said excepte I se in his hands the printe of the nailes and put my finger into the printe of the nailes thruste 〈…〉 And after eyghte dayes agayne hys Disciples wer within and Thomas with them then came Iesus when the dores were shutte and stoode in the middest and sayd peace be vnto you After that he sayd vnto Thomas bring thy finger hither and see my hands reache hither thy hande and thrust it into my side and be not faithlesse but beleuing Thomas answered and sayd vnto him my Lord and my God Iesus sayd vnto him Thomas bycause thou hast sene mē thou hast beleued blessed are they that haue not sene and yet haue beleued And many other thinges did Iesus in the sight of hys Disciples whiche ar not writtē in this boke But these things are writtē that ye might beleue the Iesus is the Sonne of God that in beleuing ye mighte haue life thorough hys name IN that Iohn saith that Thomas was not with thē Luke mencioneth of eleuen this may be holpē by the figure of Synechdoche For although Thomas was not presente with thē bodily yet his minde was with thē neither was he seperated frō thē as Iudas was so that he was of the number of the eleuen vnto the whiche Luke had a respecte Iohn the Euangeliste testifieth that the dores wer shut and that Iesus entred in when the dores wer shut Neyther for al thys doth this absurditie and impossibilitie follow which some do gather by this place namely that the bodye of Christe did penetrate the substāce of the woode or was together with the woode in one and the selfe place For the glorified bodye can by no other reason entre The Sonne entreth through the glasse and a voyce thorough a dore and yet it followeth not that two bodyes are both in one place This is not done rashely and withoute Gods prouidence namely that Thomas who was very hard of beliefe was not with the reast of the Apostles when he appeared and that he obstinately gainesayth his fellowes which told him they had sene the Lorde For Christ vsed that incredulitie of Thomas to support our faith withal that the veritie of his resurrectiō might the more manifestly be knowē And the weake fayth of Thomas beareth stronger witnes of hys resurrection then doth the easye quicke beliefe of Magdalene So the Lorde knoweth how to vse our naughtinesse to hys glorye and our saluation Fayth is the gifte of God no man can beleue except it be geuen him of god Here may therfore be gathered three sortes of men out of this present historie Iudas Peter and Thomas Iudas is a treacherer and a runnegate which betrayeth an innocente Peter denyeth and sweareth Thomas doubteth and obstinately gaynesayeth Here we learne firste that there is a greate difference and certayne degrees in sinnes No man surely liueth without fault all we are sinners but one sinneth more heynously then an other We muste take hede therefore that we may dye daily vnto sinnes and that we may be regenerated into new men and if it so be that we can not beware of all sinnes yet let vs take hede frō the worst sinnes If we be sorye and weepe with Peter God wil looke backe vpon vs and be merciful vnto vs. If we doubt and wauer in fayth Let vs not forsake the church Let vs not cut a sunder the vnitie neyther let vs seperate our selues frō our brethren and the Lord wil appeare vnto vs as he dyd vnto Thomas and will strengthen our weakenes But let vs beware of couetousnesse misbeliefe and treason that we most vilely perishe not with Iudas The weakenesse and doubting of Peter and Thomas profited very much for this cause that we might learne to acknowledge our weakenes the power of God 1. Cor. 1. Consider brethren sayeth Paule your vocation that there be not many wise as concerning the fleshe called nor many mighty or borne of a noble kinred but god hath chosen the folishe things to the world to put to shame the wyse c.
