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.

Neverthelater / I cōfesse openly / yt I am not persuaded yt they be all readie in the full glorie that Christ is in / or the elect angels of god are in. Nether is it anye article of my fayth: for if it so were / I se not but then the preachinge of the resurrecciō of the flesshe were a thinge in vayne. Notwithstondinge yet I am readie to beleve it / if it maye be proved with open scripture. And I have desyred George Ioye to take opē textes that seme to make for yt purpose / as this is. To daye thou shalt be with me in Paradise / to make therof what he coulde / and to let his dreames aboute this worde resurreccion goo. For I receave not in ye scripture yt pryvat interpretaciō of any mānes brayne / without opē testimony of eny scriptures agreinge thereto.
