Moreover / ye shall understand that George Joy hath had of a long time marvellous imaginations about this word resurrection / that it should be taken for the state of the souls after their departing from their bodies / & hath also (though he hath been reasoned with thereof & desired to cease) yet sown his doctrine by secret letters on that side the see / & caused great division among the brethren. In so much that John Frith being in prison in the tour of London / a little before his death / wrote that we should warn him & desire him to cease / & would have then written against him / had I not withstand him. Thereto I have been sense informed that no small number through his curiosity / utterly deny the resurrection of the flesh & body / affirming that the soul when she is departed / is the spiritual body of the resurrection / & other resurrection shall there none be. And I have talked with some of them myself / so doted in that folly / that it were as good persuade a post / as to pluck that madness out of their brains. And of this all is George Joys unquiet curiosity the hole occasion / whether he be of the said faction also / or not / to that let him answer him self.
