Wherefore / concerning the resurrection / I protest before god and our saviour Jesus Christ / and before the universal congregation that believeth in him / that I believe according to the open and manifest scriptures & catholic faith / that Christ is risen again in the flesh which he received of his mother the blessed virgin Mary / & body wherein he dyed. And that we shall all both good and bad rise both flesh & body / & appear together before the judgement seat of christ / to receive every man according to his deeds. And that the bodies of all that believe & continue in the true faith of christ / shall be endowed with like immortality and glory as is the body of christ
Wherfore / concernynge the resurreccion / I protest before god and oure savioure Iesus Christ / and before the vniversall congregacion that beleveth in him / that I beleve accordynge to the open and manyfest scriptures & catholyck fayth / that Christ is rysen agayne in ye flesshe which he receaved of his mother ye blessed virgin marie / & bodye wherin he dyed. And yt we shall all both good and bad ryse both flesshe & bodye / & apere together before the iudgement seat of christ / to receave every man accordynge to his dedes. And that the bodyes of all that beleve & contynew in the true fayth of christ / shalbe endewed wt lyke immortalyte and glorie as is ye bodye of christ
And I protest before God and our saviour Christ & all that believe in him / that I hold of the souls that are departed as much as may be proved by manifest & open scripture / & think the souls departed in the faith of Christ & love of the law of God / to be in no worse case then the soul of Christ was / from the time ⟨image 15⟩that he delivered his sprite into the hands of his father / until the resurrection of his body in glory & immortality. Nevertheless / I confess openly / that I am not persuaded that they be all ready in the full glory that Christ is in / or the elect angels of god are in. Nether is it any article of my faith: for if it so were / I see not but then the preaching of the resurrection of the flesh were a thing in vain. Notwithstanding yet I am ready to believe it / if it may be proved with open scripture. And I have desired George Joy to take open texts that seem to make for that purpose / as this is. To day thou shalt be with me in Paradise / to make thereof what he could / and to let his dreams about this word resurrection goo. For I receive not in the scripture that private interpretation of any mans brain / without open testimony of any scriptures agreeing thereto.
