No less evident are those testimonies out of Isaiah, Cap. 26. Ezech. 37. Psalm. 15. Matth. 22. John. 5. 6. 11. Throughout the Acts in every place is often repeated the resurrection of the dead. S. Paul in the 15. Chap. of his first Epistle to the Corinthians, doth make a full discourse of this resurrection. In the fourth Chapter of his 2. Epistle he saith: We which live are always delivered to death, for Jesus sake, that the life of Jesus also might appear in our mortal flesh. See now what could be spoken more plainly, then that the life of Christ shall be made to appear in this mortal flesh of ours? For by and by after he saith: We know that he that raised up the Lord Jesus, shall raise us up also by the means of Jesus. And in the fifth Chapter again: We must all appear before the judgement seat of Christ (saith he) that every man may receive the works of his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or evil. Therefore these very bodies of ours shall rise again in the day of judgement.
