A17654	An excellent treatise of the immortalytie of the soule By which is proued, that the soules, after their departure out of the bodies, are avvake and doe lyue, contrary to that erronious opinion of certen ignorant persons, who thinke them to lye asleape vntill the day of iudgement. Set fourth by M. Iohn Caluin, and englished from the French by T. Stocker.; Psychopannychia. English.	Calvin, Jean, 1509-1564.; Stocker, Thomas, fl. 1569-1592.	1581 (1581)	STC 4409; ESTC S118888	80,056	216

die_v in_o faith_n and_o receive_v not_o the_o promise_n but_o see_v they_o a_o far_o of_o and_o beleve_v they_o and_o receive_v they_o thankful_o and_o confess_v that_o they_o be_v stranger_n and_o pilgrim_n on_o the_o earth_n for_o they_o that_o say_v such_o thing_n declare_v plain_o that_o they_o seek_v a_o country_n and_o sure_o if_o they_o have_v be_v mindful_a of_o that_o country_n from_o whence_o they_o come_v they_o be_v at_o leisure_n to_o have_v return_v thither_o but_o now_o they_o desire_n another_o much_o better_a which_o be_v a_o heavenly_a one_o and_o now_o let_v we_o see_v how_o these_o our_o sleaper_n frame_v their_o jolly_a argument_n for_o say_v they_o if_o they_o desire_n the_o heavenly_a country_n then_o do_v they_o not_o inherit_v it_o but_o we_o frame_v it_o after_o this_o manner_n and_o say_v if_o they_o desire_n it_o then_o have_v they_o a_o be_v for_o there_o can_v be_v no_o desire_n without_o there_o be_v some_o to_o desire_n now_o i_o will_v draw_v but_o this_o out_o of_o they_o that_o where_o there_o be_v a_o desire_n there_o must_v also_o be_v a_o feel_n of_o good_a and_o evil_a which_o desire_n must_v either_o follow_v the_o thing_n that_o seem_v good_a or_o eschew_v that_o which_o seem_v evil_a why_o say_v they_o this_o desire_n rea_v whole_o in_o god_n now_o tell_v i_o i_o beseech_v you_o be_v it_o possible_a to_o think_v or_o devise_v a_o more_o ridiculous_a say_n and_o to_o say_v true_o you_o shall_v see_v that_o of_o these_o two_o point_n we_o shall_v gain_v unto_o ourselves_o one_o of_o they_o either_o that_o god_n desier_v some_o better_a thing_n than_o he_o have_v or_o else_o that_o there_o be_v something_o in_o god_n which_o be_v not_o of_o god_n and_o this_o make_v i_o think_v that_o these_o gallaunte_v do_v bury_v at_o a_o earnest_n and_o w●●ghtie_a matter_n but_o now_o let_v we_o leave_v to_o speak_v of_o all_o this_o gear_n and_o see_v what_o the_o time_n or_o space_n of_o return_v mean_v let_v they_o therefore_o return_v with_o a_o good_a mind_n and_o hear_v a_o better_a thing_n than_o this_o fantastical_a opinion_n which_o hitherto_o they_o have_v hold_v the_o apostle_n speak_v of_o abraham_n and_o of_o his_o posterity_n who_o dwell_v out_o of_o their_o country_n amongst_o stranger_n and_o they_o differ_v not_o great_o as_o it_o be_v from_o banish_a man_n or_o else_o as_o seaiourne_v because_o they_o have_v scarce_o any_o tent_n or_o cabin_n to_o cover_v they_o withal_o follow_v the_o commandment_n which_o the_o lord_n g&ue_v g&ue_v g&ue_v unto_o abraham_n which_o be_v this_o that_o he_o shall_v leave_v his_o parent_n and_o kinsfolk_n and_o get_v he_o out_o of_o the_o land_n for_o god_n have_v promise_v they_o a_o thing_n which_o as_o yet_o he_o have_v not_o manifest_v and_o perform_v and_o so_o they_o see_v the_o promise_n a_o far_o of_o and_o die_v in_o a_o sure_a faith_n that_o it_o will_v one_o day_n come_v to_o pass_v that_o god_n will_v fulfil_v his_o promise_n by_o which_o faith_n they_o confess_v that_o they_o have_v no_o certain_a and_o sure_a abide_n or_o dwell_v place_n on_o earth_n but_o that_o they_o have_v a_o country_n which_o be_v not_o on_o the_o earth_n and_o which_o they_o wish_v for_o to_o wit_n heaven_n and_o in_o the_o latter_a end_n of_o the_o chapter_n he_o show_v that_o all_o they_o who_o he_o there_o speak_v of_o receive_v not_o the_o last_o promise_n to_o the_o end_n they_o may_v not_o come_v to_o perfection_n without_o us._n and_o so_o if_o these_o our_o sleaper_n have_v observe_v the_o propriety_n of_o this_o say_n they_o have_v never_o raise_v up_o so_o many_o trouble_n now_o it_o be_v a_o wonder_n to_o see_v how_o blind_a they_o be_v in_o so_o great_a light_n but_o yet_o this_o be_v a_o more_o strange_a thing_n that_o they_o geve_v we_o bread_n in_o stead_n of_o stone_n to_o wit_n while_o they_o go_v about_o to_o overthrow_v the_o cause_n they_o maintain_v and_o uphold_v it_o now_o for_o the_o

moreover_o of_o jesus_n christ_n that_o when_o he_o bow_v down_o his_o head_n he_o yield_v up_o the_o ghost_n which_o word_n must_v not_o be_v refer_v to_o the_o breath_n 1●_n 1._o pet._n 3_o 1●_n or_o to_o the_o move_n of_o the_o lung_n s._n peter_n likewise_o manifest_o declare_v no_o less_o the_o soul_n to_o be_v and_o to_o live_v after_o death_n when_o he_o say_v that_o christ_n preach_v to_o the_o spirit_n that_o be_v in_o prison_n and_o not_o only_o unto_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o faithful_a remission_n unto_o salvation_n but_o also_o unto_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o wicked_a utter_a destruction_n for_o thus_o do_v i_o interpret_v this_o place_n which_o have_v so_o great_o trouble_v many_o man_n wit_n and_o i_o hope_v so_o to_o persuade_v all_o good_a and_o godly_a man_n for_o when_o he_o have_v speak_v of_o the_o humility_n of_o the_o cross_n of_o of_o christ_n and_o he_o have_v show_v that_o all_o the_o faithful_a aught_o to_o fashion_n themselves_o to_o be_v like_a unto_o he_o that_o they_o may_v not_o despair_v he_o forthwith_o speak_v of_o the_o resurrection_n that_o they_o may_v understand_v &_o know_v the_o very_a end_n of_o all_o tribulation_n for_o he_o say_v that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v not_o overcome_v of_o death_n but_o have_v overcome_v it_o show_v himself_o triumphant_a which_o thing_n he_o declare_v by_o these_o word_n when_o he_o say_v that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v in_o very_a deed_n dead_a in_o the_o flesh_n but_o yet_o quicken_v in_o the_o spirit_n and_o so_o also_o mean_v s._n paul_n when_o he_o write_v that_o he_o suffer_v in_o the_o humility_n of_o the_o flesh_n but_o be_v raise_v up_o again_o by_o the_o power_n of_o the_o spirit_n now_o to_o the_o end_n the_o faithful_a may_v understand_v that_o the_o self_n same_o power_n belong_v unto_o they_o he_o go_v on_o far_a and_o say_v that_o jesus_n christ_n have_v bestow_v this_o power_n upon_o other_o and_o not_o only_o on_o the_o quick_a but_o also_o upon_o the_o dead_a and_o beside_o not_o only_o upon_o his_o servant_n but_o also_o upon_o the_o faithless_a and_o despiser_n of_o his_o grace_n moreover_o let_v we_o understand_v that_o this_o be_v a_o maim_a kind_n of_o speech_n and_o want_v one_o of_o his_o two_o branch_n of_o which_o sort_n be_v many_o example_n in_o the_o scripture_n and_o chief_o when_o many_o sentence_n be_v gather_v together_o under_o one_o conclusion_n as_o here_o be_v do_v neither_o yet_o let_v any_o man_n think_v it_o strange_a that_o the_o holy_a father_n be_v shut_v up_o in_o prison_n who_o look_v for_o the_o redemption_n that_o shall_v be_v obtain_v by_o the_o son_n of_o god_n for_o because_o they_o behold_v a_o far_o of_o the_o light_n as_o it_o be_v under_o a_o cloud_n or_o shadow_n as_o they_o do_v which_o behold_v some_o shimmer_a of_o the_o day_n even_o in_o the_o twy_a light_n and_o perceive_v the_o come_n of_o the_o day_n before_o the_o dawn_n nor_o as_o yet_o have_v not_o the_o blessing_n of_o god_n reveal_v unto_o they_o wherein_o they_o may_v repose_v themselves_o he_o call_v their_o hope_n a_o prison_n or_o dungeon_n the_o meaning_n then_o of_o the_o apostle_n be_v this_o that_o jesus_n christ_n preach_v in_o spirit_n unto_o the_o spirit_n which_o be_v in_o prison_n to_o wit_n that_o the_o power_n of_o the_o redemption_n obtain_v by_o jesus_n christ_n appear_v and_o be_v manifest_v unto_o the_o soul_n of_o the_o dead_a here_o want_v the_o other_o branch_n which_o belong_v unto_o the_o faithful_a who_o have_v know_v &_o taste_v of_o this_o fruit_n and_o set_v out_o the_o other_o

the_o which_o they_o be_v shut_v out_o and_o therefore_o what_o thing_n can_v they_o else_o look_v for_o but_o utter_a desperation_n i_o see_v already_o how_o these_o man_n murmur_v &_o grudge_n that_o i_o have_v devise_v this_o gloze_n of_o my_o own_o head_n and_o that_o they_o be_v not_o bind_v unto_o any_o such_o law_n well_o i_o will_v not_o tie_v they_o to_o my_o law_n but_o i_o will_v only_o ask_v they_o this_o question_n be_v not_o the_o soul_n which_o be_v shut_v up_o in_o prison_n 4.6_o 1._o pet._n 4.6_o soul_n it_o be_v most_o manifest_a which_o have_v be_v set_v down_o by_o
