heauen with mighty shout with the voyce of the ●rchangel and trumpe of God Such ●albe the manner of the comming of ●esus Christ vnto iudgement And what shall there then ensue S. ●aule sayth Then shal we which liue 〈◊〉 remain be caught vp in the cloudes 〈◊〉 ●●iete the Lord in the ayre But say ●●u shall not they that are aliue and ●●maine in the comming of the Lorde ●nto iudgement dye Yes no dout For ●therwise S. Paule shoulde bée contrarie ● himself in that he sayeth writing to ●he Hebrewes Heb. 9.27 It is decréed that al men ●hal once dye But they that so remain ●nd are aliue in the comming of the Lorde shall not dye by distaunces of ●ymes as they who are spent and con●●ed with diseases and are buried For they shall not bée buried neyther ●hal they dye being wasted and consumed with long sicknes but foorthwith being extinguished forthwith they sh● be chaunged and shal be caught vp ● the cloudes to méete the Lorde in th● ayre Euen as also the Apostle writet● in the 15. 1. Cor. 15.51 of the first epistle to the Corinthes We shal not all sleepe but we shal al be chaunged and that in a moment and in the twinkling of an eye a● the sounde of the last trumpe Bu● what shal there become of those bodie which were loosed from the soules before the comming of Christ vnto iudg●ment 1. Thes 4.16 Héere S. Paule answereth Th● dead in Christ shal first aryse meanin● that the bodies that before the comming of Christ vnto iudgement ste● in the graues shall rise out of th● graues at the sounde of the trumpe a● the voyce of the Sonne of God 1. Cor. 15.52 Fo● the trumpe shal blowe the dead shal● rise incorruptible they shal be changed For this corruptible shall put 〈◊〉 incorruptibilitie and this mortal sha● put on immortalitie And this is th● which the Apostle againe concernin● this mutation and change writeth t● the Philippians Phil. 3.20 Our conuersation is in heauen whence wee looke for the Lord and Sauiour Iesus Christ which shal change our vile bodies that they may be like to his glorious body according to the mighty working wherby hee is able to subdue all thinges to himselfe And therefore the Saducees haue fouly erred that denyed the resurrection of the dead whereof Iob béeing fully assured saieth thus Iob. 19.25 I knowe that my redeemer liueth and that I shall rise out of the earth in the last day and shal be couered again with my skinne and shal see God in my fleshe yea and shal beholde him not with other but with these same eyes For if there were no resurrection of the dead which the Saducees affirme then mark you what S. Paule inferreth Mat. 22.23 1. Cor. 15.16 if the dead sayeth he rise not againe then is Christ not risen againe If Christ bée not risen againe then is your fayth in vaine and yet are you in your sinnes and they also that are fallē a sléepe in Christ are perished And if in this life onely wée beléeue on Christ then are wée of al men the most miserable And what auailed the great patience of Christians in al their troubles and cruel persecutions if this doctrine of the consummation of the world and of the comming of the Lord with al that belongeth theretoo were but a vayne imagination of Christ of the prophetes and Apostles and of all the blessed martyrs in the Church of God What did it aduantage the godly of al others in the world most miserable to suffer most cruel tormentes to bée racked Heb. 11.35 to bée stoned to bée hewen asunder to walke vp downe in sheep skinnes and in goates skinnes in néede tribulation and vexation which the worlde was not woorthy of wandring in wildernesses in mountaines in dennes and caues of the earth and woulde not bée deliuered were there not hope to receaue a better resurrection That I haue fought saieth Paule with beastes at Ephesus 1. Cor. 15.32 after the maner of men what auantageth it mee if the dead rise not againe But wée meruel howe the dry rotten bones can bée fetched out of the 〈◊〉 out of the earth and ashes agayne 〈◊〉 that fetcheth the sunne out of his 〈◊〉 euery morning he that quickneth ●he dead moone euery moneth hée that ●●●sed Aaron his rod Num. 17.8 that had béene many yéeres dryed in one night to bud ●●●ssom and to beare rype Almondes 〈◊〉 also bring the dry bones out of the graue sea and ashes and cause them to ●care ripe and perfect fleshe And why ●hould we doubt that of a rotten body a perfect body may spring since we sée by dayly experience that of rotten corne perfect corne doeth growe and that of rotten séedes and kernels perfect séedes and kernelles doe come Rom. 8.11 If the spirite of him that raised vp Iesus from the dead dwelleth in you euen hée that raysed vp Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortall bodies 1. Cor. 15.22 For as in Adam all do dye so in Christ shall all bée made alyue 1. Cor. 15.49 As wée haue borne the image of the earthy so shall wée beare the image of the heauenly As for the soules after they bée once loosed from the bodies they reigne eyther with Christ or with Satā eyther in etern● glory or in euerlasting sorrow Whic● maketh to the vtter subuersion ouerthrow of the popish purgatory of tw● dānable opiniōs of twoo sortes of Heretikes the one called Arabici the othe● Dormitantij the one affirming that ● soule doeth dye together with the body and that in the resurrection they shall both bée raised vp together The other affirming that the soules doe sléepe till the day of iudgement then to bée awaked and then to receaue either damnation or saluation Both which opinions are most wicked and contrary to scripture For first that the soule liueth that it is immortal and incorruptible after that it is once loosed from the body the examples and testimonies of holy scripture doe declare Dauid no doubt beléeued the immortalitie of the soule For when hée perceaued that the child was dead hée wept no more but saide 2. Sam. 12.23 I shal goe to him but he shal not come againe to mée The widowes sonne of Sarepta fel sicke and dyed and Elias tooke him out of her bosom 1. Reg. 17.19 and laid him on the bed and stretched him●●●fe vpon the childe thrée tymes and ●●led vnto the Lord praying that the ●●●es soule might come into him a●●●ne And the Lord heard the voyce of ●e Prophet and the soule of the childe 〈◊〉 into him againe and hée reuiued The soule therfore doeth not dye with ●he body The wyse man sayeth that ●he body which hée nameth dust shall returne to earth as it was Eccles 12.7 but the spirit vnto the Lord that gaue it And in ●he second of Wisdom Wisd
