And now (dearly beloved) I have to declare unto you in what manner our bodies shall rise again, and of what sort they shall be in the resurrection. In the shutting up and end of all 1ages or of this world, our Lord Jesus Christ shall come to judgement with great majesty, and then whomsoever that day shall find alive, they shall in a moment of time be changed, and first (I say) shall all they, that dyed from the first Adam to the last that shall dye, rise up again, and in their own flesh stand among the living that are changed before the Tribunal seat of Christ, looking for that last pronounced sentence in judgement.

This doth Paul set down in these words: Lo, I tell you a mystery, we shall not all verily sleep, but we shall all be changed in a moment of time, in the twinkling of an eye, at the sound of the last trump: For it shall sound, and the dead shall rise again incorruptibly, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.1
