Al this is spoken after the custom and property of man, and weakness of this time: and herewith is described unto us, and set before our eyes, eternal punishment, and how it shall go in the life to come.

In Daniel we read thus:1 many of them, that sleep in the dust ⟨p. 162⟩of the earth, shall awake: some to everlasting life, some to perpetual shame & reproof. The whole multitude of bodies, saith he, that are become dust, yea all flesh shall through the power of God rise again, but not in like case and sort. For the good shall arise to eternal life, the evil to everlasting death. After this manner spake the Lord also: verily, verily,2 verily I say unto you: The hour cometh, in the which all they, that are in the graves, shall hear his voice, and shall come forth: they that have don good, to life: and they that have done evil, to death. Who is so ignorant but he perceiveth, that to ⟨p. 163⟩sleep in the earth, as the prophet Daniel said, and to be in the graves, as Christ said, is one manner of speech and of like effect? Now forasmuch as they, that are in the dust of the earth, and in the graves, come forth, awake and rise again▪ and only the bodies are in the graves, wherein they corrupt▪ it followeth that mens true bodies, not only of the good, but also of the evil, shall truly rise again. And the same doth the Lord yet declare more evidently.
