¶ The faithful assuredly and straight way flit from the corporal death unto life everlasting. The .lxv. Sermon.

Albeit he hath oftener than ones spoken of the state of souls in an other world,1 and of the felicity of the faithful which are killed for religions sake: yet was it here chiefly requisite to treat of the same matter. For I said, how many must be killed of the beast. Now leest they for fear of death should choose rather to worship the beast, than to be slain: leest haply having lost this life, there were no other life to be looked for in the world to come, most diligently, and most certainly he treateth of the state of souls, and of the felicity and bless of souls, which as soon as they die, they achieve, assuredly and straightway flitting out of this world into life everlasting. But they that know these things, and have conceived them by a true faith, how they shall undoubtedly slit from the corporal death into the blessed life, it can not be chosen but that they shall more boldly contemn the life present.
