8. To the Judge is added an Army, not of Angels only,1 with whom he oft repeated in the gospel that he would come unto judgement: but of all the faithful, or saints, which at no time, no not here are sequestered from their head. For first at the sound of the trump blown up the Archangel the Saints arise, and the living also with the dead are changed, and are taken up to mete Christ in the Air. Here, here in the clouds and bright Air, appear with Christ the happy and blessed victors. By and by the ungodly rise also, and those that lived at that day, are changed with them that rise again, to pain and confusion.

For saints in Christ obtain righteousness and glory, are made clean and are glorified.2 And this sense hath Saint John himself a little before opened to us, saying: silk is the justifications of Saints.

For first at ye soūde of the trumpe blowē vp the Archangell the Sainctes arryse, and the liuing also with the dead are chaūged, and are taken vp to mete Christ in the Ayre. Here, here in the clowdes and bryghte Ayre, appeare with Christe the happye and blessed victours. By and by the vngodly ryse also, and those that lyued at that day, are chaunged with them that ryse agayne, to payne and confusiō. But they se the Saincts with Christe ⟨p. 580⟩
