How that the Souls after that they be departed from the body do not sleep, but live in christ.
How that the Soules after that thei be departed from the body do not slepe, but lyue in christ.
Joiada. But, with this opinion, they do abolish the gospel, which teacheth of the resurrection of Christ: as saint Paul, in the first chap. to the Romans, doth say: Beside that, they do deny, the last Article of our faith, that is to say: The life everlasting, after this life. Is not this therefore a pernicious Doctrine, that repugneth against so manifest verity, and sure believe?

Sy. Thou doest not understand the Anabaptists, ⟨image 104⟩For they do neither deny the Gospel, nor the Resurrection of Christ. They say that the Souls, after the death of the body, (if they do depart in faith) do sleep in the bosom of Abraham, till the day of judgement, & that then, they do enter into everlasting life. And prove their sayings by the gospel, & by Paul. Luc. xvi. i. Thess. iiii. I will not have you to be ignorant touching them, that are a sleep. &c. In the Old Testament, it is written of the Fathers, that they fall a sleep, with their Fathers. And also, it is said of Stephen, that he did sleep in the Lord. And that they at length, shall receive everlasting life, they do prove it by Paul .
