If any should say, but our Divines have (some of them) termed Chiliasm (a)Heresy; It might be answered, That all is not Heresy, which good and learned men have so accounted. Witness (b)Austin's putting Aerius in the Catalogue of Heretics, because he opposed Prelacy, and stated fasts and festivals, and praying for the dead, &c. But the special reason ⟨image ?⟩why learned and judicious men have looked upon the notion of the Chiliad, as Heretical, is, because some that were for that opinion, maintained that the Saints after their resurrection should again live a sensual life, in the enjoyment of carnal pleasures. And truly such Doctrine as that let it be branded with the name of Heresy, and rejected with all abhorrency. Nevertheless to maintain that there will be heavenly and spiritual joys amongst the Saints upon earth during the great day, even Austin will acknowledge to be a (c)tolerable opinion, and that he had once an apprehension not much differing from that.
