8. By whose power, and by whom the Resurrection shall be.
The resurrection and raising of the dead shall be wrought by Christ: for by the force and virtue of Christ our Saviour, We shall rise:1 I will raise him up in the last day; which speech of Christ is to be understood of the body: For he doth not raise up the souls, because they die not. Now Christ-man shall raise us, by the voice of his man-hood, and by the virtue of his God-head.2 The hour shall come in the which all that are in the graves, shall hear the voice of the Son of man. God hath appointed a day in which he will judge the world in righteousness, by that man whom he hath appointed, whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead. The use of this doctrine is, to believe this our raising which shall be hereafter, both because the raiser is of sufficient power, seeing he is Almighty God; and of a prone and ready will, because he is our head. And hence ariseth unto us great consolation and comfort.

Object. But the Father is said to raise us, yea to raise Christ himself.

The Father therefore shall raise us by his Son mediately. But the Son shall immediately raise us with his spirit, as being our only Redeemer,
