So he raised up the daughter of jairus by his word & touching of her body from death, which work was done of him which is God & man in one person, for he called not again the dead unto life ⟨image 76⟩always by his only word, but also by touching, that he might declare & teach that his body also might make lively & quicken, than forasmuch as the things which have been corrupted & perished, be restored, renewed & begun a fresh, how than should we not live which do eat the flesh of Christ? There is no doubt but he will bring & reform them to perpetual life, which be partakers of him, for not only thee soul must needs ascend unto a blessed life by the holy ghost, but also this gross & earthly body, must needs be brought to a perpetual life by tasting, touching and by meat, which is convenient and agreat to his nature, Hilarius speaketh almost after the same manner of the se things also upon Matthew the. 1ix. chapter. And therefore the apostles call death a sleep, teaching us by this self thing, that death is to be condemned & not to be feared. Luke saith in the .vij. of the acts, 2the Steven slept wham he was stoned. Paul i. Corin. xv. nameth Christ the first fruits of them which had slept, 3& he saith, we all shall not sleep also he saith i. tes. 4. brethren I will ⟨image 76⟩not that ye be ignorant of these which hath slept, 4that ye be not sorry &c. Also Daniel hath spoken in the xij. after this manner of corporal death, for so saith he many of them which sleep in the dust of the earth, shall awake, here he calleth the resurrection to come in the last day awaking, all these forsooth be very great consolation to all Christians, when they be troubled with temptation of death.
So he raised vp the doughter of iairus by his worde & touchinge of her body frō death, whiche warke was done of him whiche is God & mā in one person, for he called not againe the dead vnto life
