The eleventh article is this. The 1resurrection of the flesh. These two articles, this and the twelfth shut up as briefly as may be the most excellent fruit of faith, and sum of all perfection, they wrap up I say, the end of faith in confessing life everlasting, & the full & perfect salvation of the whole men. For the whole man shall be saved, as well in Soul as body. For as man by sin did perish both in body & soul, so ought he to be restored again both bodily and ghostly: and as he ought so was he by Christ restored again. The Soul of man verily is a spirit and dieth not at all: the body is earthly and therefore dieth and rotteth. For which cause many hold opinion that the bodies die, never to be made partakers of joy or pain in the world to come. But we in this article profess the contrary, acknowledging that those our bodies, and so that flesh of ours shall rise again, and enter into life everlasting.

For as man by sinne did perish both in bodie & soule, so ought he to be restoared againe both bodilie and ghostlie: and as hee oughte so was hee by Christe restored againe. The Soule of man verilie is a spirite and dieth not at al: the body is earthly and therefore dieth and rotteth. For which cause many holde opinion that the bodies die, neuer to be made partakers of ioye or paine in the world to come. But wée in this article professe the contrarie, acknowledging that those our bodies, and so that fleshe of ours shall rise againe, and enter into life euerlasting.
