Joia. This ought to be obserue• Simon, that the day of th• Lord in scriptures, is not always to be taken for the las• day, but sometime, for the truth and light: as in the gospel o• John, otherwhiles for the vi• sitacion of the Lord: as ofte• times, in the Prophets, and .• Cor. iii. sometime for the end• & death of every man: as Joh• vi. I will resuscitate or rays• him again, to everlasting life in the last day, that is to saye• when he dyeth. For when an• man dyeth, that day is last unt• him. After this manner, dy• Paul call, the last day, in th• ⟨image 110⟩Epistle to Timothy. For he had spoken before of his death, saying: I am ready to be offered: affirming, that he had ben faith full and loyal, in his course, & therefore, he did not doubt, but that the righteous judge, should render unto him, the crown of righteousness, which, as he leaveth no unrighteousness unpunished, so always rewardeth them that labour faithfully. And this place doeth rather for us, then for the Anabaptists, seeing that Paul doth hope, that the crown of righteousness, due unto the righteous, shall be rendered unto him, at the time of his death. Ergo, he believeth not, that the souls do sleep, but that they do live everlastingly. That, which thou allegest out of John and Paul to the Philippians, ⟨image 111⟩are spoken, of the last judgement, but they prove not that the souls are a sleep. For that, which they do speak of salvation there, do pertain more to the resurrection of the body. For these are the words of Paul: He shall transform (that is to say Christ) our vile body, that he may make it conform and like, to his glorious body. What mean these things else, but that our bodies have full hope of resurrection. or rising again? As Job did speak
