Now will we speak also of these terms, flesh & body, or corps. We believe the resurrection of the body or flesh. The scripture commonly calleth it the resurrection of the dead: to declare evidently, that the resurrection must not be referred to the soul, nor to the spirit, but directly unto the body and to the flesh. Cyprianus or Ruffinus saith, that the church towards the West, did express & knowledge the article in the holy Apostolical Creed, after this manner: I believe the resurrection of the flesh. And so they added there unto manifestly this term (the) to the intent that no man should ⟨p. 90⟩understand any other flesh, save only the same natural and essential flesh, which we carry about. So saith Augustine also in the book of the Articles of the Creed: yt same visible, which properly is called flesh, shall without all doubt & assuredly rise up again.

NOwe will we speake also of these termes, fleshe & body, or corps. We beleeue the resurrection of the body or flesh. The scripture commōly calleth it the resurrection of the dead: to declare euidentli, that the resurrection must not be referred to the soule, nor to the spirite, but directly vnto the body and to the fleshe. Cyprianus or Ruffinus sayth, that the church towardes the West, did expresse & knowledge the article in the holy Apostolical Crede, after this maner: I beleue the resurrection of the flesh. And so they added ther vnto manifestly this term (the) to the intent that no man should ⟨p. 90⟩vnderstand any other flesh, saue only the same natural and essenciall flesh, which we cary about. So saithe Augustine also in the boke of the Articles of ye Crede: yt same visible, which properly is called fleshe, shall without all dout & assuredly rise vp againe.
