saide to the thefe at his houre of death This daie shalt thou be with me in paradise The bodye thoughe it reste and pause for a while yet we be in certaine hope that at the laste daye it shal be raised againe to immortall and euerlasting lyfe And therfore scripture calleth the deathe of the body but a slepe for that this same fraile weke vyle mortal and corruptible bodye which we carie about which lieth sicke sore diseased which shortly shal be put into the earth burnt to asshes deuoured with bestes or foules drowned in water the same self body I say shal be raised again incorruptible glorious bewtifull stronge i. cor xv pure immortall to possesse a newe and euerlastinge lyfe where there shal neither be hūger thirst heat cold synne deth nor any kynde of calamitie but iustice innocencye lyfe ioye blesse world withoute ende For as the body of Christe laid in the graue rose againe the thirde day neuer more to die Euē so shal the bodies of al that beleue in christ at the later day be resuscitate to a lyfe after whiche shall folowe no death God who is of infinite power and infallible truth hath promised these thynges they muste therfore nedes be so And here it shal be profitable to call to remembraunce suche places of scripture as treatith of the resurrection of the flesh which be the wordes not of man but of god who is able will certainly fulfill what soeuer he hathe spoken No man can chaunge his wil no man can alter his purpose No creature can frustrate let or tarie his sentence He is omnipotēt he is true he is faithfull his goodnes and mercie is inexplicable Let no man therfore doubt of the treuthe of his wordes let no man doubt of the performaunce of his promise Herafter folowithe certayne places of scripture witnessinge the resurrection of the dead according to this article of our faith wherin we saie we beleue that this flesh shall rise againe Iohn vi THis is the will of my Father which sente me that whosoeuer seith the sonne beleuithe in him shall haue life euerlastinge and I will raist him vp againe in the last daye The houre comithe wherin all they that be ī the grauys shal here the voice of the sonne of God and shall go forthe thei that haue done good vnto the resurrection of life Iohan. v For if so be that the spirit of him which raysed vp Iesus from the dead dwell in you Rom. viii euin he that raised vp Iesus Christe from the dead shall also quicken your mortall bodyes because of his sprite that dwelleth in you God hathe bothe raised vp oure Lorde Iesus Christ and shal also raise vs vp by his power i.

Cor. xv is risen againe from deade and is the first fruictes of theim that slepe for by one man truli came death by one man cometh the resurrectiō of the dead And as al die ī Adame euin so shall all be made aliue in christ but euerie one in his order The first is christ Thē they which are christes which hathe beleued in his commīg And saincte Paul dothe adde a similitude taken of naturall thinges wher by he doth set forthe and declare the resurrection of bodies The similitude is taken of sede which cast into the earthe by the husbandman dieth as it were and rotteth Neuer the lesse it is not vtterlie lost but at lenght springeth cometh forthe of the earth goodlie beautifull pleasaunte So our bodyes shall rise againe not feble vyle corruptible mortall but stronge glorious incorruptible immortal neuer to die again but euer to liue The way in to true and euerlastinge lyfe to our longe home as they call it and contrey is by corporall
to vs he can not medle with vs he hath no power to hurt vs. Forsomuch as we be iustified by christ purged from our sinnes and made the children of god by Christ who hath reconciled vs wrought our peace we must therfore be of good cōforte For seinge we be in the handes of god that is omnipotent who is now our best most louing trusty father we be in a sure porte we be with our daunger there cā no incommodity nor aduersitie hurt vs for we be inuironed with the custody of god the gard of angels oute of the handes of this heuenly father can no creature by force pluck vs When we be at an ende by death of this crosse and corporal affliction then haue we ended our iourney then haue we finished oure warre Christe hathe borne the same crosse Christe hathe passed the same waye he hathe suffered like deathe he is oure heade we muste be like to him we must suffer with hī if we intend to raigne with him we must leue this corporall lyfe ere that we can inioye lyfe euerlastinge Lette not oure synnes trouble vs lette them not tormente oure conscience as though they coulde not be forgeuen They are alredy forgeuen yf we repent and beleue Christ is al ours as muche as he is He by his innocency hath couered and taken awaye oure synnes As Christe can not be dampned euen so we can not be dampned yf with a ryghte faithe we cleaue vnto hym As synne deathe and hell hadde no power against Chryste so haue they no power against vs so we be in Christe and Chryste in vs. Yf the matter hadde be left and cōmitted to vs to haue borne our owne synnes and to haue satisfied for them they wolde haue be to heuie for vs we had not be able to stande vnder theym they wolde haue pressed and sunke vs downe to hell But christe bothe god and man hath of his owne free will offered him selfe for vs. he hath taken our turne he hathe plaide our part and paide for vs all that we ought As it is in the Psalme spoken in the person of christe I paid that I ought not We had trespased we were the detters so farre behind hand that all that was in vs was not able to paie the lest sōme we ought Christe became our suertie paid for vs acquited vs and set vs at libertie yea made vs coheires with him of euerlastinge glorye Yf it were possible for one man to commit the sinnes of the whole worlde so he truely repente and cleaue by true faith to Christe he can not be dampned his synnes be sufficiently and abundantly by Christe satisfied for For Christe as towchinge his godhed one in substance with the heuinlie father As towchinge his manhede our very fleshe and blood hath purchased and trulie bought grace and pardon for vs. For Christ became man for vs was borne for vs died vpō the crosse for vs rose from dethe for vs ascended into heuin for vs and hath accomplished and performed all thinges mete for our saluacion for vs. Yf therfore we beleue in christ we are become partakers of gods fauor we are eased of the packe bourdē of synne we are made the heires of god and coheires with Christe for euer and that by Christ and for Christ For without Christ there is no consolaciō no helth no hope no helpe In Christe alone is all comforte all helth all hope all succour all refuge all grace and mercy more habundant more plēteous more excellent than any mā is able either to comprehend or to wishe God graunte vs therfore a true and a constant faith In this forme or in like sort we must comfort our selues in our sickenes or calamitie and our brother beinge visited But in any wais and with al dilygence it is to be foreseene that we withdrawe oure mynde from the fearefull and terrible contemplacion of synne death and damnacion And that we fixe these of our mynd and whole thoughte vpon Christ only that we cleue vnto him that we cal vpon him that we cōmit our self wholy to him For in Christe we shal espie nothing but innocencie iustice life saluacion which al be deriued from Christe into vs so that we will acknowledge him receaue him for the author of our saluacion and only redemer yf we haue christ crucified afore our eys yf we imprinte him in our hart yf we flee to him with our faith if we wholy cleue to him Then shal hel gates nothing preuaile against vs then shall we be able to withstand al the forcible assaultes of Satan though they be neuer so sore neuer so fierce neuer so terrible Let vs cal to remembraunce with what lenitie what gētilnes what humanitie what clemency Christe as it is in the euangelical history hath called vnto him and receued al suche sinners as hath repented them and desired his helpe We shall finde Mary Magdalen the synner that honge vpon the right hand of christ crucified the publicane zache with other mo whom Christe most louingly receiuinge pronounced clere frō sin though they had synned greatlye and the childern of saluacion Christe is very grace mercy helpe comfort life ioye and saluacion to al those which loke for these thīges at his hādes and put their trust in him And all these thinges hathe God who is truethe it self can not lie nor will not deceyue promysed vnto vs for christes sake Fynallie whē deth approcheth we must do as Christe dyd vpon the crosse we must praie for our enemyes and forgeaue them with our harte Yf we haue offended any man we must be hartelie sorye for it we must desire forgeuenes yf we haue iniured any man we must make him amendes or take suche order that amendes maie be made vnto him yf it passithe our power to make restitucion and amendes it shal be ynoughe that we desire forgeauenes And with our hartes forgeaue others which hath hurt vs either in name bodie substance or estimacion For yf we trulie forgiue god hathe promised we shal be forgiuen as it is in the syxt of Mathew It is verie necessarie also and profitable for the confirmaciō and strenghteninge of our faithe to receaue the moste blessed sacrament of the bodie and blood of our sauiour christ which we ar cōmaunded to receaue in remembraunce of his benefites that hereby we maie be trulie certified in our conscience his body to be geuen for vs and his blood to be shed for remission of our synnes Dethe OF our flesshe fraill nature is so feared abhorred that whē he approcheth mans hart is filled and laden with suche sorowes panges and anxieties as tonge is not able to expresse A medicine against the feare of death WE muste call to our remembraunce dethe to be ouercomed and abolished by Christe So that nowe the soules of so many as trust in Christ cā not die nor perishe but departinge frome the body goeth straight to christe For thus was it
