Now also let us throughly consider every word of this article severally by it self. We confess the Lord, 1his resurrection. But a resurrection is to rise again. That riseth which falleth, The body of Christ fell, therefore the body of Christ riseth, yea it riseth again: that is to say, the very same body of Christ which before it fell did both live and stir, doth now rise again, it doth I say both live and stir again. For truly said Tertullian of the resurrection of the flesh, that this word Resurrection is not properly spoken of any thing, save of y• which first fell. For nothing can rise again but y• that fell. For by rising again, because it fell, we say the resurrection is made. Because this syllable, Re, is never added, but when a thing is done again. Wherefore the women in the Gospel, when they went to anoint the body of the Lord, which hung upon the Cross, did hear the Angel of the Lord say. Why seek ye the living among the dead? he is not here but is risen &c.
Nowe also let vs throughlie consider euery woorde of this article seuerallie by it selfe. Wée confesse ye Lord, 1his resurrection. But a resurrection is to rise againe. That riseth which falleth, The bodie of Christ fell, therfore the bodie of Christ riseth, yea it riseth againe: that is to saye, the verie same bodie of Christe which before it fell did both liue and stirre, doth nowe rise againe, it doth I say both liue and stirre againe. For trulie sayde Tertullian of the resurrectiō of the flesh, that this word Resurrectiō is not properly spoken of any thing, saue of y• which first fell. For nothing can rise againe but y• that fell. For by rising againe, because it fel, we say the resurrection is made. Because this sillable, Re, is neuer added, but when a thing is done againe. Wherefore the women in the Gospell, when they wente to annointe the bodie of the Lord, which honge vppon the Crosse, did heare the Angell of the Lord say. Whie seeke yee the liuinge among the dead? hee is not heere but is risen &c.
