1And here I can not refrain, but must needs set forth and recite that which D. John Funceius, a learned man diligent, and one that hath red much showeth in the .10. book of his Chronology, under the year of our Lord .1332. in these words: about this time the most holy father Pope John, the .22. of that name, fell into this heresy, which also he professed openly, and taught that the souls saw not God before the last day. For so had his father taught him, deceived by the visions of Tantalus, which were commonly carried abroad in writing. And Pope John sent two preachers to Paris, to wit a couple of Friars one of the order of preachers, an other Minorite, which might profess his error there. But one Thomas a preacher of England resisted the Pope stoutly, whom the Pope committed to prison. And the King of France called a Synod in his palace, in the forest Vitinian, where all that were assembled subscribed against the Pope. Than the king sent Ambassadors to the Pope, exhorting him to recant his error, and that he would deliver Thomas out of prison. Which enlarged the prisoner: and also (as it is said) following the admonitions of his friends, at the hour of death repented. So much Funccius. It is a shame therefore for some, which at this day in so great light of the gospel dare renew that most foolish error affirming that souls separated from their bodies lie snoring I know not in what dormitory or dortour, neither to feel any thing, till at the day of Judgement they be joined again to their bodies, and rife again.
1And here I can not refrayne, but must nedes set forth and recite that whiche D. Iohn Funceius, a learned man dilligent, and one that hath red much sheweth in the .10. booke of his Chronologie, vnder the yere of our Lord .1332. in these wordes: aboute this time the moste holy father Pope Iohn, the .22. of that name, felle into this heresie, which also he professed opē ly, and taught that the soules sawe not God before the laste daye. For so had his father taught him, deceaued by the visions of Tantalus, which were cōmonly caried abroade in writyng. And Pope Iohn sent two preachers to Paris, to witte a couple of Freres one of the order of preachers, an other Minorite, whiche might professe his errour there. But one Thomas a preacher of Englande resisted the Pope stoutely, whome the Pope committed to pryson. And the Kinge of Fraūce called a Synode in his palace, in the foreste Vitinian, where all that were assembled subscribed agaynst the Pope. Than the kinge sent Ambassadours to the Pope, exhortyng him to recante his errour, and that he would deliuer Thomas out of prison. Which inlarged the prisonier: and also (as it is sayde) following the admonitiōs of his frendes, at the houre of death repented. So much Funccius. It is a shame therefore for some, which at this day in so great light of the gospel dare renewe that moste folishe errour affirmyng that soules separated from their bodies lie snoring I know not in what dormitorie or dortour, nother to fele any thing, till at the daye of Iudgement they be ioyned agayne to their bodies, and rife agayne.
