¶ S. Paul in that place speaketh not of the incarnation of Christ, whether it be of the Virgin, or from heaven: as it is easily to be seen by the matter he entreateth of. But he writeth of the state and condition of the body after the resurrection. ⟨image 23⟩And answereth there to the objection of them that demanded in what body the dead should rise: in the same sayeth he that they livid, but no more mortal, nor subject unto the pain of mortality, as Adams body was after he sinned: but spiritual as Christs body was after his resurrection (spiritual I say, not that it loseth his humanity, or is turned into the nature of a spirit. But because it shall lack all mortal qualities.)
¶ S. Paule in that place speaketh not of the incarnation of Christ, whether it be of the Uirgyne, or from heauen: as it is easelye to be sene by the mater he intreateth of. But he wryteth of the state and condicion of the bodye after the resurrection. ⟨image 23⟩And answereth there to the obiection of them that demaundyd in what bodye the dead shoulde ryse: in the same sayeth he that they lyuyd, but nomore mortall, nor subiecte vnto the payne of mortalite, as Adames bodye was after he synned: but spirituall as Christes body was after his resuerrection (spirituall I saye, not that it losteth hys humanyte, or is turned into the nature of a spiryte. But because it shall lacke all mortall qualytes.)
