Our bodies be mēbres of Christe Therfore lyke as God hath raysed vp Christe our lorde our head euē so will he raise vp vs by his power .i. Corinth vi ¶ Of the rysyng again of the dead ☞ What is the resurrection of the dead IT is wherin at the laste day al men shal ryse from death they which be godly vnto euerlastīg lyfe and they whych be vngodly vnto euerlastyng punishement ❧ How canst thou proue the resurrection of the dead ☞ This article of our fayth is counted the best for whose cause we professe al the other Therfore the scripture specyally the newe Testament is ful of testimonies And to confyrme oure myndes agaynst Epicures opinions and to noryshe fear and our fayth it is good to haue in a redynes many testymonies which may testyfye that we shal rise wyth these same bodies Math xxiii Christe proueth the resurrection of the dead because God hath sayed I am the god of Abraham and the god of Isaac and the god of Iacob etc. God sayth he is not the god of the dead but of the liuyng Therfore it is necessari that holy mē which be dead shall ryse agayne wythe their bodyes Also cap. xix He calleth resurrectiō a regeneratiō whē these bod●es raised from their graues or sepulchres shal be renewed Luke .xiiii.

Corinth xv He dothe purposly defend this article thorow out the hole Chap. For he proueth by the resurrection of Christe that we shal also of necessity ryse agayne For therfore hath Christe rysen that he myght ouercome and abolyshe death and that he myght restore anewe an euerlastynge lyfe vnto them whych beleue Lyke as death sayth he entered in by man euen so by man is the resurrectiō of the dead And like as al be dead in Adā euen so shal al be reuiued in Christ ii Cor. iiii Euer cariing about the diyng of Iesu christ in our bodies that the life of Iesu might also appere in our bodies If the lyfe of Christ ought to be declared in our bodies it is necessary that our bodies deliuered from death and raised vp againe shall liue an euerlastynge life If we beleue the Christ is dead hath risē againe Thessa ii euen so wil god bring thē wyth him whych haue sleped ☞ Brynge forth wytnesse out of the olde Testament Esa xxv The face of thē which be wrapped in shal be deuoured in this hill wherwythe all people be wrapped and the couering wherwyth all people be couerede and death shal be deuoured for euermore The prophet calleth the face of them whych be wrapped death synne wherin al people be wrapped for deathe before God is as it were a wrappyng in wherin al the world is inuolued but this wrappyng in in the hil Syon that is in the church shal be abolished frō the godly for that is the fruit of the Gospel that it reuiue thē which be dead ¶ Esaie xxvi The deade shall lyue My kylled menne shal ryse Awake and be mery ye whyche dwel in duste etc. Go my people entre into thy chambre and shite thy dores c. Esech xxxvii Loe I will open your graues bring you out of your sepulchres mi people etc. Iob xix I know that my redemere lyueth and in the laste day shall I be raysed from the erth and I shal be couered agayne in my Skyn in my fleshe I shal fe god my sauiour ¶ To be shorte this artycle is conteined al ouer in the promisses exāples of the fathers For bicause delyueraunce and gloryfication is promised vnto holy men and yet they neuer thelesse be in this lyfe punyshed and in the power of deathe therfore it is necessary an other life to remayne wherin they gloryfied shal lyue euerlastingly So the epistle vnto the Hebrues teacheth that the fathers of the old testament keped the faythe and beleue of resurrectiō For in faith be they al dead not receyuyng the promysses etc. Therfore Iacob commaunded his childer to bury him in the sepulchre of his fathers And Ioseph commaūded his bones to be caried out of Egipt ☞ Shal al men ryse both good and euel The resurrection of al men shall be one comō as wel of the godly as of the vngodly but in vnlyke conditiō For the godly shal ryse into euerlastyng lyfe but the vngodlye into iudgement and euerlastyng paynes ☞ Proue that the vngodly shal also rise wyth there bodies vnto punishment ☞ Iohn .v. Christe sayth The hour shall come wherin all they whych be in theyr graues shall heare the voyce of the son of man and they whych haue done good shal procede into resurrection of lyfe but they whych haue done euel into resurrection of iudgmēt ¶ Daniel .xii.

Feare hym whych can cast both the body and the soule into euerlasting fire Esai lxvi They shal goe forth se the carcases that is to saye the bodies of men whyche haue broken my commaundementes The worme of them shal not dye and the fire shal not be quenched and al fleshe shal be ful wyth syght of them ☞ How shal the resurrection be ¶ Paule .i. Corinth xv In the twyncklyng of an eye in the last trumpet for the trumpet shall blowe and the deade shall aryse vncorrupted we shall be chaunged ☞ How shall this alteration be ¶ That whyche is corruptible saith he must be made vncorruptible and that which is mortalle must be chaunged into immortalitie but when that whych is corruptyble shal be made incorruptible and that whych is mortal shal be chaunged into immortalitie Then shal the word be fulfylled whych is wryten death is deuoured and swalowed vp in the

ceremonies of the whiche thynges in all ages infinite disputations and cōtentions haue bene How many degrees of christē libertie be there ❀ Four The fyrst that remission of synnes and reputing of iustice is gyuen not for the lawe but for nothynge by Christe This is the must speciall and principal degree perteyning nothinge vnto ciuile life but only vnto the striuing of the conscience in the iudgemente of God wherein thys comforte is necessarie Of thys degree sayeth Christe Iohn viii If the sonne shall deliuer you ye shal be free in deede ☞ The seconde is gyuyng of the holy goste whereby the beleuers be iustified and gouerned and defended against the tyranny of the deuyl Here of speaketh Paule .ii. Corhinthi iii. Where the spirite of the Lorde is there is libertie ☞ The thirde That the Gospell delyuereth vs from the ceremonies Iudiciall lawes of Moyses Thys decree perteyneth in a maner vnto outwarde lyfe but it hath the cause of these whiche be aboue sayed ¶ For the Gospell doeth not require Leuiticall ceremonies because it teacheth vs to purchaise remission of sinnes freely and pronounceth vs iustified by mercie for Christes sake not for any seruice or our workes The fourth teacheth what is to be iudged of ecclesiastical ceremonyes whyche the byshoppes or other men haue instituted For because in thys lyfe certayne rites places and tymes be necessarye the gospell permytteth customes to be made in the churche wythout vprore and contention Therefore be certayne dayes appoynted that the people maye knowe when they ought to come together to heare the word of god These tradicions be tollerable yet iustificatiō is notto be sought in them ☞ Vnto what thynge is thys doctrine of Christen libertye profitable ☞ Vnto manye thynges For if this doctrine be not in the church there insue many discōmodites Fyrst the iustification of faith is blynded and blotted out that is to saye when the benifyte of Christe is attrybuted vnto tradicions that is when men esteme them selues to deserue remission of synnes be pronounced ryghtuousse for such rites customes by the whiche persuasions consciences dooe fall into desperation and they lose the true knowledg of fayth and of Christ The seconde the vnlerned fainynge suche outwarde obseruations and rites to be true worshipping and and seruice of God and true perfection when perfection is neuer the lesse feare faith loue and the workes of our vocation The thyrde the concorde of churches is confounded as it is of the easter The fourth If consciences esteme those rites to be necessarye they cā neuer rest For who euer hath obserued al mens tradiciōs whereof suche summes so manye bokes haue ben written that they can not wel be numbred ☞ But thou saiest obedience is necessarye althoughe the powers do abuse the right For ☞ Christ sayth vpon the chayre of Moyses sitte the Scribes and Phariseis c. ☞ What soeuer they shal commaund you do it In thynges whiche perteyne vnto goddes lawe the conscience muste necessarily obeye the Pastours accordynge vnto thys he whiche heareth you heareth me But in Ecclesiastical traditions it ought so to obey that it auoyde offensions and that iustification be not sought in thē nor the opinion of necessitie be added therto But whē vngodly thinges be commaūded or taught thē is the rule of the Apostles to be folowed God muste rather be obeyed then men ☞ But what saye ye of the ceremonies whiche be instituted of Christe ¶ They muste be obserued because they haue the commaundement of God And yet the libertie of the gospel teacheth that we be not iustified with ceremonies wythout fayth also that necessitie doth excuse vs if we haue impediment whereby we can not vse them as if by some chaunce a certeyne mā coulde not obteyne baptisme yet if he shoulde beleue stedfastly in Christe he shoulde be saued wythout the ceremony ¶ Of Councels ☞ Be councels taught in the Gospel by Christe or no SOme haue feyned councelles to be in the Gospell of not reuēging of pouertie of virginitie of chastitie Then after sayd they that those workes were perfectnes But these opiniōs be full of errours superstition For the lawe of God is one which conteyneth nothyng but preceptes and Christes longe sermon Mathew v. is nothynge els then the enterpretyng of the awe For Christes purpose is to declare the perfecte obedience that is required in the lawe Wherefore when he forbiddeth hatred concupiscence desi●e of vengeaunce he bryngeth in no newe counceles but he expoundeth the verye lawe of God and doeth teache the preceptes He threateneth also euerlasteing punishmente He whiche is angrye sayeth he wyth hys brother he is accused of iudgemet Also who so euer seeth a woman for to desire hir he hath committed adultrye alredy in hys herte ¶ Of Reuenging ☞ What commaundeth he of reuengynge HE forbyddeth priuate reuengynge that is desire of reuengynge and that whiche is without the authority of the officers he doeth not inhibite comon reuengynge which is exercised by the officers For the Gospell doeth not abolyshe rulars or magistrates But rather confirme them Rome xiii Therfore thys sediouse opinion which teacheth that ther is a counsel of reuenging is to be reiected And we must wysely make difference betwene open and priuate reuengynge for the Lorde sayeth giue me the vengeaunce I shal recompence ☞ But what of this sētence is it lawful to resiste force wyth force ❧ The Gospell doth not resiste thys sayeing For to resiste force wyth force belongeth vnto the lawe of nature if it be rightly vnderstanded for it must be applied vnto the cōmon reuengyng that is vnto the office of the rulers So the rulers do resiste force by force whē they driue awaye theft and robbery with harnais sweard For wherefore shoulde rulars be necessarye if we should priuately euery one exercise reuenginge Of Pouertie ☞ What commaūdeth it of pouertye THe Gospell doeth neyther commmaund nor yet coūsel any man to forsake hys goodes or conferre vse all thynges communely but rather alloweth politike ordeynynges and diuision or proprietie of goodes But the Gospell commaundeth to helpe them whiche be pore and needy leberally and it promiseth great rewardes boeth bodely and gostli for such liberality as Christ sayeth Geue and it shal be gyuen vnto you And ▪ ii Corhint ix He which soweth scarsli he shal reape scarsly c. Solomon Prouerbes .v. doeth excellently set furth and describe a great part of house rulynge drynke sayth he water out of thyne owne fountaynes and thy fountaynes shall be deriued the ryuers shall runne into the streetes Be thou alone the mayster of thē none other wyth the. Solomon wyll that euerie one giue vnto the needful of the fruites of his farme holde but so that he keepe styll his farme holde lest he be brought vnto beggerry So Paule commaundeth to gyue so that we make not oure selfe pore and that slogardes shall not misuse our liberalitie To be shorte many testimonies do cōfirme
