[ LVIII] Gods infinite Power in the Resurrection of the Body.
IN Queen Marie's daies,* 1.1 the body of Peter Martyr's wife, was, by the charity of that time, taken out of her grave, and buried in a dunghill, in detestation of that great Schollar her husband, sometimes Professour of Divinity in the Uni∣versity of Oxford.* 1.2 But when the tide was once turned, and that Queen Elizabeth of happy memory, swayed the Scepter of this State, her bones were reduced to their place,* 1.3 and there mingled with the bones of St. Frideswide, to this intent, that if ever there should come an alteration of Religion in England again, (which God forbid) then they should not be able to discern the ashes of the one from the other. Thus Death hath mixt and blended the bodies of men, women, and chil∣dren, with the flesh of beasts, birds, and serpents; hath tossed, typed, and turned their ashes both into aire and water, to puzzle (if possible) the God of heaven and earth, to find them again, but all in vain: He can call for a finger out of the gorge of an Eagle, for a leg out of the belly of a Lion, for a whole Man out of the body of a Fish: If the devill,* 1.4 or thy corrupt reason, shall suggest, that this is impossible, make no other answer but this,* 1.5 God is omnipotent, God is infinite.
