Wherefore our true bodies, which now are mortal, shall verily rise again: howbeit after the resurrection, they shall no more be mortal but immortal. To these witnesses out of gods word, and therefore invincible, I will now also add the testimony of John Damascene.
Wherefore oure true bodies, which now are mortall, shall verely rise againe: howbeit after ye resurrection, they shall no more be mortal but īmortal. To these witnesses out of gods word, and therfore inuincible, I will nowe also adde the testimony of Ihon Damascene.
1The Resurrection (sayeth he) shall be nothing else, but a true conjunction of soul and body, and another laudable restitution of it that was fallen away, and brought to naught. Therefore the same body that perisheth, is dissolved and falleth a sunder and the very same riseth up again undissoluble. For he, that in the beginning created man ⟨p. 113⟩out of the dust of the earth, & then brought him again to earth and dust, that he was taken of: The same (I say) is mighty and of power according to his word, to raise up the self same man again from death.
