gotten the victory which with great desire after that the battaile is won get them out of the city into the field to viewe loke vpon the bodies of suche as are slaine and howe fortunately they haue foughte Forasmuch nowe as Christ also hath foughte prosperously ouercome his ennemies on domes daye and made them his foote stole the faithfull shall go out to see the bodies of the vngodlye The prophet doth for this cause call them bodies euē to declare that the bodies raised vp from deathe shall be very true fleshe He continueth further also in the recited sentence and saith their worme shall not die For the bodies or coarses are full of wormes neither are they aught but wormes meate Al this is spoken after the custome and property of man and weaknes of this time and herewyth is described vnto vs and set before our eyes eternall punishment and howe it shall goe in the life to come In Daniel we read thus many of them that slepe in the dust of the earth shal awake some to euerlasting life some to perpetual shame reprofe The whole multitude of bodies sayth he that are become dust yea al flesh shal thorowe the power of God rise againe but not in like case and sorte For the good shall arise to eternall life the euill to euerlasting death After this manner spake the Lord also verely verely verely I say vnto you The houre commeth in the which all they that are in the graues shal heare his voice and shall come forth they that haue don good to life and they that haue done euill to deathe Who is so ignorante but he perceiueth that to slepe in the erth as the prophet Daniell sayde and to be in the graues as Christe saide is one maner of speche and of like effect Now forasmuch as they that are in the dust of the earth and in the graues come forth awake and rise againe ▪ and onely the bodies are in the graues wherin they corrupt ▪ it foloweth that mens true bodies not only of the good but also of the euill shall truely rise againe And the same doth the Lord yet declare more euidently Mat. 10. Feare ye not them that kil the body are not able to kil the soule but rather feare him which may destroy soule and body into hell Not only the soules but also the bodies of vnbeleuers dothe the Lorde destroye Oute of the which it foloweth that they shal rise againe for if they should not rise againe they coulde not be tormented and plaged Neither shall any other body rise againe to paine and punishment but euen the same that with his vse works hath deserued the plage And herevnto serueth also the description of the last iudgemēt Math. 25. And S. Paule sayth 2. Cor. 5. We muste all appeare before the iudgement seate of Christe that euery one may receiue in his bodye according as he hath don whether it be good or bad See how manifestly expresly the holy Apostle testifieth that the body shall rise again In the same terrible iudgement of God saith he must euery one take his body to him again And why must he take the body vpon him againe Euen to the intent that whā any one hath receiued his body again he may likewise receiue the rewarde that he by and with his liuing body hathe deserued Nowe hathe the bodye some thing to do with godlinesse and vngodlinesse with vertue and vice for the body is an instrument or vessell wherwith somewhat is done and therfore in the iust iudgemēt of God the body according to the deuine righteousnesse shal not be omitted nether forgotten at all For if it haue bene obedient and subiect vnto the spirite if it haue suffered muche trouble for the name of Iesus Christe if it hath bene an earnest folower of rightuousnesse then shall it bee worthy also to be glorified Againe If it hathe bene geuen ouer to worldly voluptuous pleasures or trāsitory things of this world then with the soule that wrought with it shal it iustly go to eternall damnation Wherefore the vnbeleuers shall truely rise againe in their owne fleshe yea euē in the same which they heere in this time haue fed and pampered wyth all voluptuous pleasure and excesse And like as they in this time haue with their body takē their owne pleasure ioy and delight so in the life to come they shal be plaged and punished with euerlasting pain and torment in the same body For S. Paule witnesseth farther in the acts of the Apostles and sayeth I worship the God of my fathers beleuing al thīgs which are written in the lawe in the prophets and haue hope towards God that the same resurrectiō of the dead which they themselues looke for shall be of the iust and vniust Therefore holy Augustine in boke De fide ad Petrum diaconum said wel and Christianly according to the nature of the Apostles doctrine The vnrighteous shall haue a common resurrect on of the fleshe vvith the righteous but the grace of the change or glorification they shall not haue For frailty and misery shall not be taken avvaye from the bodies of the vngodly neither the shame and reproch sicknesse and feblenesse in the vvhich they are sovven vvhich therefore thorovve deathe are not extincte and taken avvaye that they maye belong to eternall death paine and punishment euerlastingly to be plaged body and soule vvith continuall torment that neuer ceasseth These are Augustines vvordes And after like sorte did the lord also say in the gospel they that haue done euil shall arise to the resurrection of iudgement or damnation As if he would say the vngodly that with their bodies shall rise againe shall rise with such property and proportion of theyr bodi that theyr bodies maye suffer the paine and torment namely that they now being made euerlasting maye not be wasted and consumed away thorow any paine or trouble how great and horrible so euer it be And so the bodyes of the vngodly that rise againe frō death shall after the said maner be altered and changed For the bodies that might afore thorow pain and trouble be broken and consumed are nowe altogether as yron yea suche as can not be broken and yet painful and passible so that from henceforthe the more they be tormented the harder thei become and thorow Gods vengeance more vnapte to be destroyed and yet made the more able to suffer misery ¶ The thirde parte TOVCHING THE damneds perdition and the blesseds saluation CHAP. 24. The deathe and damnation of the vngodly NOwe seeing the onset is geuen and the Oration come so farre that I muste also speake somewhat of the eternall death and damnation of the vnbeleuers that this matter maye be wholely vprightlye and perfectly brought to an end I will therfore brefely declare that the death and damnation of the vnbeleuers and vngodly is enioyned vnto them of god Item that the soules are passible
