Quest. 9. Why it is said, many of them that sleepe, &c. shall awake, and not all.

1. Lyranus thinketh the reason to be this, because of infants which shall rise againe; but they cannot be said properly to awake; because they shal neither haue sensum poenae, vel glo∣ria, sense of paine or of glorie: But this is an idle conceit: for in the resurrection our bodies shall rise in perfection: corruption shall put on incorruption, 1. Cor 15. 53. then if our bo∣die shall rise perfect and incorruptible, they shall haue perfect sense, and other qualities of the bodie.

2. Some thinke it is said many, and not all, in respect of the wicked, of whom it is said, non resurgent impij in iudicio, Psal. 1. the wicked shall not rise in iudgement: because they shall not rise vnto life, Pintus. But the vulgar Latine translateth not that place well, the true rea∣ding is, non consistent in iudicio, the wicked shall not stand in iudgement. And againe in this place, the wicked are a part of this many, some shall awake vnto shame.

3. Wherefore these answeares may better serue: 1. Augustine saith, ponit aliquando scriptura pro omnibus vocabulum (multis.) the Scripture putteth sometime for (all) this word many: and he giueth instance of Abraham, of whom the Lord saith in one place, I haue made thee a father of many nations, Gen. 17. and yet in another he saith, in thy seede shall all nations be blessed, Gen. 22. But this example is not so fit, for in the one place the Lord spea∣keth of Abrahams carnall generation, in the other of his spirituall seede, namely Christ, in whom all the nations of the world should be blessed: that other instance giuen by Theodo∣ret is more to the purpose, Rom. 5. 18. by the offence of one, the fault came on all men to condemnation: and after in the next verse following, the Apostle saith, by one mans disobedi∣ence many were made sinners. Here it is euident that many is taken for all. 2. An other an∣swer is, that many are saide to rise, because all indeede shall not rise againe, because all shall not sleepe, but they shall all be changed, 1. Cor. 15. 51. Bulling. Vatab. and againe in another place the Apostle saith; we which liue, and are remayning in the comming of the Lord, shall not preuent those which sleepe, Osiander. 3. And otherwise it may be yet answe∣red, that this word rabbim, many, as it appeareth by the accent Zakeph ghadol, is taken distributiuely; that many should awake vnto life, and many vnto shame, Iun. in commentar. Polan.
