He addeth moreover, how to those souls was given judgement, verily for that they are exempted from judgement, and come not into judgement (even as our saviour sayeth) but have passed from death to life. It is also declared in an other place, in what sense the saints are said to sit upon the seats, and judge the world: where it is manifest in deed, that all the judgement of God is given to the son. It is evident therefore by this unfallible place of scripture, that the souls of saints sleep not after the death of the body, until the last judgement, but to live in Heaven with Christ. But at the judgement they shall return to their bodies raised again, and together with their bodies shall be received into blessed seats. And this is the state of the faithful. From this hope let us never suffer ourselves to be withdrawn. In my Decades I have discoursed more at large of the souls separated from their bodies ⟨p. 604⟩and have showed that they do not sleep.
He addeth moreouer, howe to those soules was geuen iudgement, verely for that they ar exempted from iudgement, and come not into iudgement (euen as our sauiour sayeth) but haue passed frō death to life. It is also declared in an other place, in what sense the saincts are sayed to sitte vpon the seates, and iudge the world: where it is manifeste in dede, that all the iudgement of God is geuē to the sonne. It is euident therfore by this vnfallible place of scripture, that the soules of saincts slepe not after the death of the body, vntill the laste iudgement, but to liue in Heauen with Christe. But at the iudgemente they shall retourne to their bodies reysed agayne, and together with their bodies shal be receyued into blessed seates. And this is the state of the faythfull. From this hope lette vs neuer suffer ourselues to be withdrawen. In my Decades I haue discoursed more at large of the soules separated from their bodies ⟨p. 604⟩and haue shewed that they do not slepe.
