they_o be_v manifest_o perceave_v in_o the_o church_n and_o therefore_o we_o do_v not_o agree_v unto_o they_o who_o think_v the_o scripture_n so_o obscure_a as_o it_o need_v to_o be_v make_v clear_a by_o some_o other_o light_n now_o this_o light_n they_o will_v have_v without_o exception_n to_o be_v draw_v from_o that_o pretend_a catholic_n church_n that_o be_v either_o from_o the_o father_n

so_o christ_n be_v make_v by_o grace_n the_o root_n of_o all_o the_o saint_n pour_v the_o juice_n of_o eternal_a life_n into_o his_o member_n we_o do_v therefore_o condemn_v the_o philosopher_n who_o

thereof_o the_o which_o error_n paul_n do_v overthrow_v as_o by_o many_o argument_n so_o by_o this_o most_o clearelie_o in_o that_o infant_n themselves_o also_o be_v subject_a unto_o death_n 7_o although_o that_o all_o sin_n which_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o death_n be_v true_o remit_v unto_o the_o believer_n yet_o notwithstanding_o be_v they_o no_o less_o subject_n unto_o death_n than_o the_o very_a wicked_a themselves_o and_o that_o for_o two_o cause_n first_o because_o that_o the_o root_n of_o sin_n which_o be_v call_v original_a sin_n be_v not_o utterlie_o abollish_v in_o they_o in_o this_o life_n but_o be_v bring_v to_o a_o end_n by_o death_n for_o than_o do_v the_o strife_n between_o the_o flesh_n and_o the_o spirit_n cease_v second_o because_o that_o unless_o they_o do_v shake_v of_o this_o life_n they_o can_v never_o be_v partaker_n of_o that_o other_o life_n which_o they_o hope_v for_o 8_o and_o therefore_o we_o hold_v that_o the_o faithful_a be_v deprive_v of_o this_o life_n rather_o by_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n call_v they_o unto_o that_o eternal_a kingdom_n then_o because_o that_o death_n be_v the_o reward_n of_o sin_n 9_o and_o on_o the_o other_o side_n that_o the_o unfaithful_a do_v not_o rise_v by_o virtue_n of_o the_o resurrection_n of_o christ_n which_o be_v always_o unto_o salvation_n and_o be_v bestow_v upon_o his_o member_n but_o by_o the_o

of_o god_n into_o that_o holy_a liberty_n which_o be_v the_o way_n unto_o eternal_a life_n we_o do_v therefore_o condemn_v they_o who_o dream_n that_o the_o soul_n separate_v from_o their_o body_n be_v a_o sleep_n and_o that_o they_o shall_v arise_v together_o with_o the_o body_n and_o we_o do_v also_o detest_v the_o opinion_n of_o hymeneus_n and_o philetus_n who_o do_v not_o distinguishe_v the_o spiritual_a from_o the_o corporal_a resurrection_n 12_o the_o scripture_n declare_v by_o manifest_a testimony_n that_o the_o soul_n of_o the_o faithful_a who_o die_v in_o the_o lord_n be_v

show_v that_o the_o soul_n of_o the_o wicked_a be_v thrust_v into_o hell_n and_o there_o torment_v in_o their_o manner_n 13_o the_o same_o body_n that_o lay_v down_o shall_v rise_v but_o not_o in_o the_o same_o quality_n as_o the_o very_a same_o body_n of_o christ_n which_o be_v crucify_v &_o bury_v do_v arise_v but_o not_o have_v those_o quality_n wherewith_o it_o be_v endue_v when_o it_o be_v
