The resurrection of the Bodye.
Coucernynge thys eleuenth article, for asmuche as it may seme itraunge to some men why: thys word Body, is here placed in the Englishe, seyng the Latin is. Carnis resurrcctionem, That is to sai. The resur rection of the fleshe. 〈◊〉〈◊〉 shal knowe that in 〈◊〉〈◊〉
ture many tymes thys worde (fleshe) doeth signyfye the hole man, as for example, where it is wrytten in the fyrst of S. Jhon. Verbum caro factum est. that is to saye The worde was made fleshe. the meanynge is that the sonne of god toke vpon hym the hole nature of man. Agayne, 〈◊〉〈◊〉 the fyrste chapiter of saynt Paules fyrste epystle to the Corynthians, it is wryt∣ten in thys maner. Vt non glorietur omnis caro, that is to say That no fleshe should glorye, the meanynge is that no man should glorye. Lykewyse, where in the thyrde of S. Luke it is wrytten. Videbit omnis caro salutare dei. That is. All fleshe shall se the sauiour sent of God, The meanynge is, that al men shall see the sa∣uiour sent of god. And manye tymes also thys sayde worde (Fleshe) doeth in scrypture, signifye onely the bodye of man without any respect of the soule there∣of, as in the fyrst Chapyter of Genesis, where Adam speakyng of hys wyfe Eue, sayth in this maner. Caro de carne 〈◊〉〈◊〉. that is. Fleshe of my fleshe. meanynge that her body was made of hys bodye. Lykewyse in the. xxi, of Job, where Job sayeth. Concutit carnem 〈◊〉〈◊〉 tremor. That is, Tremblyng dothe shake my fleshe. meanyng there by hys fleshe hys bodye. And accordynge to thys seconde acception, thys Latyne worde. Carnis, Which is to saye: Of the fleshe, is ta∣ken here in thys article of the Latyn Crede, and by cause the body, and the fleshe, here in this article, doe signifye and meane one thing, we maye both say the resurrection of the body, and also the resurrection of
the fleshe.
And therby we doe vnderstand that at the day of the generall dome or Judgemente, when Chryste shall come (as in the. vii. article of thys Crede is con∣tayned) and sitte to iudge the quicke and the deade: almighty God shall styrre and rayse vppe againe the very fleshe and bodies of all men, women, and Chyl∣drē, both good and bad, christened and heathen, that euer lyued here in this world, from the begynnynge of the same, and died before that day. And althoughe the sayde fleshe and bodyes were deade and buryed, yea, and consumed, or by anye meanes destroyed, yet God shall of his infinite power make them all at that day, wholl and perfecte agayne. And soo euerye man generally shall resume and take agayne, the very selfe same bodie and flesh in substaūce, which he had whi les he liued here on earth, and so shall rise from death and liue agayne in the very selfe same bodie and soule which he had before.
〈◊〉〈◊〉 whych tyme, man thus beyng made perfect in coniunction of body and soule, shall at that daye, ap∣peare before the hygh iudge our sauiour Jesu Chryst and there shall make an accompte of his workes, and hys dedes such as he did (good or euil) while he liued here in thys worlde. And for profe that the contentes of this article are true, these authorities and testimo∣nies both of the olde and the newe testamente, shalbe sufficient for this presente, that is to witte, the. xix. of Job. Esay. xxvi. Ezechi. xxxvii. Daniel. xii. Mathew. xxii. John. v. Rom, xiiii. i. Cor. xv, ii. Cor. v, i, Thes, iii. and. iiii. Philip. iii. and the, ii, to Timoth. ii.
