Did not also our sauioure Iesus Christ promysse vnto his Apostels that they shoulde set vpon .xii. seates and iudge the .xii. tribes of Israel And did not Paule make the Corinthians 1. Cor. 6. and with them all the faythfull beleuers partakers of this rewarde when he sayeth do ye not knowe that the saynts shal iudge both the world and also the Aungels These places do playnlye take awaye all diuersityes of rewardes or degrees in glorye Obiecti ∣ on 11 ALBION Whye then doeth the Apostel say There is an other glory of the sun 1. Cor. 15. an other glorye of the moone and an other glorye of the starres For one starre differeth from an other starre in glorye so also is the resurrection of the deade Doeth not he shew here a diuersitye of rewardes and that after the blessed resurrection some shall be more gloryous than the other Aunswer PHI. Ye go cleane from the meaning of the Apostel For there he doeth proue that as the sunne and the moone beinge of one substaunce do differ in dignitye ▪ so in the resurrection oure bodyes althoughe they shall be the same in substaunce that they be now yet shal they haue more excelent qualityes than they haue nowe at this presente And that the like muste be vnderstanded of the comparison of the starres it is euident and plain by the conclusion that Paule doth inferre or bringe in sayinge The bodye is sowen in corruption and is raysed in incorruption it is sowen in dishonour and is raysed in glorye it is sowen in weakenesse and is raysed in power Wherby it doeth moste playnlye appeare that this diuersitye oughte onelye to be taken for the diuersitye that is betwixte the bodye whiche we shal put of at our death the body that shall be restored agayne neyther can anye thinge be here concluded of anye difference or dyuersity that shall be betwixt the blessed or glorifyed bodyes Luc. 20. Christe doeth onelye speake generallye of this thinge when he sayeth that we shall all be lyke vnto the Aungels Phi. 3. Agayne the holye Apostell sayeth that when oure sauioure shall come downe frome heauen he wyll chaunge and transforme oure vyle bodyes and make them lyke vnto his glorious body what diuersitye of glorye I praye you can there be when all our bodyes shall be made like vnto the gloryous bodye of Christ How be it I wil not be to precise in this matter least I shoulde seeme too affyrme anye thynge rashely To attribute anye parte of the heauenly felicity glory vnto the merits of mē it is to be iniurious vnto the glory of the grace of God Onelye this wyll I warne the Godlye of that although they do with some of the fathers graunte that there be degrees of glory in the lyfe to come yet let them beware and take hede that they doe in no wyse attribute the same vnto the merites and deseruinges of menne For that wer to do to muche iniurye and wrong vntoo the glorye of the grace of God ALBION Doeth not Paule wryte that it shall be rendred vnto euery mā according vnto his workes Again these Rom. 1. I am sure are his words we must al appear before the iudgemēt seat of Christ 2. Cor. 5. the eueri mā may receiue the thīgs which are don Obiecti ∣ on 12 in his bodye accordinge to that he hath done whether it be good or euyll These wordes do playnly testifye that euerye manne shall receaue a rewarde accordinge to his labour Aunswer PHILALE We do generallye vnderstand this of the elect and reprobate and of their glory and dampnation So doeth Paull expounde it in the Epistell to the Romayns Rom. 2. And Christ him selfe in the sentence that he shall geue at his last iudgemente doeth sufficientlye declare what this scripture meanethe when he callethe them that be at his right hande to his kyngedome and sendeth those that be at his lefte in to the fyer euerlasting that is prepared for the deuyll and his Aungelles Nowe as touching the works of the elect ye haue learned alredy that when God rewardeth them he crouneth in them his owne giftes Math. 25.
