¶ Scriptures proving that in Christs Church upon earth there shall be good and bad mingled until the day of judgement.
¶ Scryptures prouinge that in Christes Church vppon earth there shalbe good and bad mingled vntil the day of iudgemēt.
AS it was in the days of Lot, so shall it be in the coming &c. In the night there 1shall be two in one bed, one shall be taken &c. Let them (the tares amongest the Corn he meaneth) ⟨image 32⟩grow together until the harvest. The Harvest is the end of the world: then the Son of man shall send forth his angels, & they shall gather all offence givers out of his kingdom, and those which work wickedness. So shall it go in the end of the world: the Angels shall go forth, and separate the evil from the righteous, & cast them into the furnace of fire. By these sentences we may see the Hypocrites shall be mingled with the godly until the day of judgement.
