We read in the Gospel that the judge shall say to the godly, come the blessed of my father, &c.

1Furthermore leest any man should think these words to be vain, the lord adjoineth by S. John, and they ascended into heaven: not for that the resurrection is made already, but for the undoubted certainty of the thing, he speaketh of the thing to come, as if it were paste: of the which sort are ⟨p. 333⟩found many like phrases every where in the Prophets. Elijah in times past ascended into heaven both soul and body, as we read in the .4. book of Kings the .2. chapt. by the same miracle he showed than also, what reward the Lord hath prepared for the faithful preachers of Gods word, neither is there any other thing here now repeated. He addeth, how they went up in a cloud. For a cloud toke up Christ our head from the eyes of the disciples: and we shall be also taken up in a cloud to mete the Lord in the air, as the scripture reciteth in the .1. of the Acts, and the .1. to the Thessalonians the .4. chap. Albeit therefore that preachers, & those which believe the preachers be excommunicated of Antichrist, & through open and shameful punishments should seem to be sent to the Devil: yet Christ receiveth them delivered from all evils, unto him, into the palace of Heaven.
1Furthermore leeste any man should thinke these wordes to be vayne, the lord adioyneth by S. Iohn, and they ascended into heauen: not for that the resurrection is made already, but for the vndoubted certentie of the thing, he speaketh of the thing to come, as if it were paste: of the which sorte are ⟨p. 333⟩founde many lyke phrases euery where in the Prophetes. Helias in times past ascēded into heauē both soule and body, as we reade in the .4. boke of Kinges the .2. chapt. by the same miracle he shewed than also, what rewarde the Lorde hath prepared for the faythfull preachers of Gods worde, nother is there any other thing here nowe repeted. He addeth, how they went vp in a clowde. For a clowde toke vp Christe our head from the eyes of the disciples: and we shal be also taken vp in a clowde to mete the Lord in the ayre, as the scripture reciteth in the .1. of the Actes, and the .1. to the Thessalonians the .4. chap. Albeit therfore that preachers, & those which beleue the preachers be excōmunicated of Antichrist, & through open and shamefull punisshmentes should seme to be sent to the Deuill: yet Christ receiueth them deliuered from al euils, vnto him, into the palace of Heauen.
