with Christ which do yet notwithstandynge lyue in this mortal body and nedes we must dye We sayde afore that nowe we are occupied in the most highe matier of our saluacion Wherfore we muste bring forth not mans dreames but the wytnessynges of God Let vs heare therfore Christes owne sermon of this matter Iohn iii. As Moses saith he lyfted vp the serpente in the wyldernes euen so must the sonne of man be lyfte vp that who soeuer beleueth in him perishe not but haue euerlastynge lyfe And Paul Roma x Yf thou knowledge with thy mouth that Iesus is the lord and dost beleue in thy herte that God raysed hym vp frō death ● shalte be saued For notwithstādinge that after the resurrectiō of Christ we are yet mortall mē in earthe and subiecte to all aduersyties yet by faythe I saye by faith in Christ we ar so made partakers of his resurrection We shall rise agaī that first vnto vs truely doth belong the ryght of rysynge from death vnto euerlastyng blessednes in the last daye For fayth doeth fasten vs and as I myght so saye doth incorporate vs to Christe Sens therfore that Christe in whō we are incorporate is risen it cā not be that we shoulde not ryse with him For as touchynge it that as yet we do die and our bodies do rotte in the earthe yea or be brent with fire shoulde thys be any let to our resurrection Forsothe God whiche when as yet there was nothyng could make thys so greate a woorke of thys worlde coulde he not also fynde againe the body which was made before yea though it wer turned into dust in the earth or the sea cal it agayne vnto life God doth cal those thynges which are not that they maye bee Iohn xii can he not thē call againe those thynges which seme to haue perysshed Hathe he not set furth vnto vs in euery lytle grayne the ymage of our resurrectiō Except the wheat corne saieth Christ fal into the ground and dye it bringeth forthe no fruit And Paule sayeth Thou foole ● Cor. xv the whiche thou sowest is not quickened excepte it dye And what sowest thou Thou sowest not the body that shal be but bare corne as of wheate or some other but god gyueth it a body at his pleasure to euery seade his own body Which of vs can see ī a cornell of a Peare so greate a boughe of a tre as groweth out of it beyng layed in the ground Who cā see in a grain of corne so great a stalke an eare as the reapers do reape Man doth not se but God seith which also worketh these And shuld he rayse vp a dead grayne or seade not a man For not onlye that he can but that he wil also raise vs from the deade he hath not only testified by the resurrection of Christe his Sonne but also by manye other argumentes promyses miracles which wer long now to repete The resurrectiō of the dead truly is by scriptures so certaine sure that is also cōmēly rehersed in the common confession of our fayth Wherfore there is nothīg more surely to be holden then that throughe Christe the righte and glorye of the Resurrection from the deade vnto euerlastynge blessednesse belongeth euen vnto vs. Furthermore when we beleue that we through Christe shall ryse agayne this faith canne not be ydle in vs but euen nowe whiles yet we are in this mortal body it doth thinke vpō the resurrectiō For as in the yong plantes it doeth furthwith appere what the fruites wylbe and in the wittes of chyldren it is anone shewed furth what thinge is to be loked for of them euen so in the godly the resurrection that is to cōme doeth begynne to bringe forthe his frute whiles that we do yet lyue in the earth Moses was appoynted of god to be the deliuerer and law gyuer to Israel But he dyd not onelye then execute this offyce when he brought the people oute of Egypte but the appoyntment of this office that he shulde take in hande beganne euen then also to worke in Moses when as yet he being a child if we wyl beleue Iosephus he threwe downe the crowne roiall of the kyng of Egipt trode it vnder his feete When as he slewe the Egipcian that dyd wrong to the Israelite when he laboured to agree the Israelites whiche stroue together and when he did deliuer the daughters of the priest of Madian from the wrong of the shepeherdes These trulye were the begīninges of his office that he shoulde haue Dauid was chosē kinge of Israell But this election was not idle in Dauid vntill that time that after the death of Saule he was openly called to be kinge of the people But Dauid euen then began to take vpō him lyke a kynge when as in the kepynge of his shepe he slewe a Beare and a Lyon and when with a bolde stomacke he set vpō Goliathe and slewe him So the faith of the resurrection shal not onely practise his power in raysynge oure bodyes vnto euerlastynge lyfe in the last day but yf the true fayth be in vs euen in this lyfe also doth it shew forth the strēgth that it hath And first it holdeth vs vp in al the aduersities of this lyfe yea euen in the myddes of death For if we shal ryse agayn into euerlastynge lyfe the which thing we know by faith that we shall do what disaduauntage I praye you what euill happe can aduersities yea or deathe it self bringe vnto vs I praye the if a man shoulde put of frome the a fylthy garmente to put on vpon the and clothe the with a Kingly aparel woldest thou cal the takinge of the fylthy apparel from the disaduantage or euel lucke or rather shouldest not thou call it great profit To suffer aduersity ī this world at length to dye surlye they be nothing els then a putting away of anold filthy garment that thou maiest take vnto the a most gorgius garment We do know saith Paul that if our earthly manciō of thys dwelling wer destroyed ii Cor. v. we haue a building of god an habitacion not made with handes but eternall in heauen For therfore sigh we desiringe to be clothed with our mansyon which is frō heauē Wherefore whē by fayth we do thinke vpō our resurrectiō frō deth thorow Christ it can not be but that we shal get the vyctory not only ouer al the afflictiōs of this world but also of death hel Moreouer the same faith of the resurrectiō doth begin or exercise in vs the newe lyfe A newe lyfe worthye the Resurrection that forsakinge all vngodlynes and vnrightuousnes we may folowe all kyndes of heauenlye vertues For verylye excepte the newnes of lyfe dothe folow the faythe of the resurreccion it is a playne argument that the fayth is deade And what is there that should be a lyue in a manne when as hys faythe lyueth not whiche is
