Like as the bodies, when they were not, began to be, not by a certain chance, or of themselves, but of the four elements, namely of Water, Fire, Air, and Earth: So also being reasonably returned again into the same, may be of the same composed again. &c.
Lyke as the bodies, when they were not, began to be, not by a certen chaūce, or of themselues, but of the four elements, namely of Water, Fyre, Ayre, and Earth: So also beyng reasonably returned agayne into the same, may be of the same cōposed againe. &c.
And for a further declaration he addeth again:1 and death and hell gave up those, which were in them, dead. For he understandeth by death, any kind of death, as though he should say: death it self restoreth to the Judge & judgement, whom soever, after what sort soever he hath dispatched. Death therefore is feigned to be as it were a person, which holdeth the dead in himself, or in a prison. And hell hath yet but a few bodies (for some we read to have gone down to hell quick) but the souls of the wicked. The same return to their bodies, that the whole man may be judged, body and soul. Others by hell, after the Hebrew phrase, understand a sepulture or grave. Again is repeated, that the whole man shall be judged body and soul, after every mans works.
And for a further declaratiō he addeth agayne:1 and death and hell gaue vp those, which were in them, dead. For he vnderstādeth by death, any kynd of death, as though he shulde say: death it selfe restoreth to the Iudge & iudgement, whom soeuer, after what sort soeuer he hath dispatched. Death therfore is fayned to be as it were a person, which holdeth the dead in himselfe, or in a prison. And hel hath yet but a fewe bodies (for some we read to haue gone down to hell quicke) but the soules of the wicked. The same retourne to their bodies, that the whole man may be iudged, body and soule. Others by hell, after the Hebrewe phrase, vnderstande a sepulture or graue. Agayne is repeted, that the whole man shal be iudged body and soule, after euery mannes workes.
