CHAP. 20. S. Hieromes opinion of the resurrection of the flesh.
Yet in the same book hath the said Hierome set his own opinion, touching the resurrection of the flesh, directing the oration unto Bishop John, and saying.
YEt in the same booke hathe the saide Hierome sette hys owne opinion, touching the resurrection of the flesh, directing the oration vnto Bishop Iohn, and saying.
If thou wilt now confess the resurrection of the flesh, after the truth and not after fantasy, as thou sayest, then look, that ⟨p. 150⟩unto the words, which thou haste spoken to content the simple, that even in the body, wherein we die and are buried, we shall rise again, thou add these words also, and say: seeing the sprite hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have: and forasmuch as it was so distinctly spoken unto Thomas: put thy finger in my hands, and thy hand in my side, and be not faithless but believing: Therefore say thou, that we also after the resurrection shall have even the same members, that we daily use, yea even the very same flesh, blood, and bone. The works whereof the holy scripture condemneth and rejecteth, and not their nature.
