whiche be deade, slepers, sayinge. I wyll not you to be ignorante of them, that slepe. So Steuē slept.* 1.3 And so the godly to the outwarde syght, and perceuerāce, dieth. But withoute doubte that death is but a slepe. For how many so euer dye in Christe, all slepe in hym, and he shall reyse them in the laste daye. I haue slept, and do slumber,* 1.4 and I haue rysen. Here slepe betoke∣neth deathe of the body, as in Ge∣nesis, Abram slepte with his fa∣ther.* 1.5 I wyll slepe and rest in peace to god with other. Also, My fleshe shal rest in hope. Therfore in deth not so moche the deathe it selfe, as suer lyfe and resurrection, is to be considered to theym, whiche be in Christ, accordynge to Christis say∣inge. He that shall kepe my word,* 1.6 shall not see deathe euerlastynge.

¶All these thynges be begonne in baptisme, and be fynysshed in the ende of lyfe.* 1.7 For we be buryed with him throughe baptisme in to deathe. Therfore faythe exercised with diuers passions, causeth, that naturall deathe to the faythefull, is but a slepe. For the faythful die suerly in hope, and loke after the laste daye and the commynge of Christe: This securitie they gette in this lyfe by the spirite of fayth, that they maye saye with Paule:

By hope we be made safe?* 1.8 And a∣gayne. Hope dothe not confound. That is to dwell in the Paradyse of god, the kyngedome of heauen in the churche of the lyuinge god: And the lord sayth,* 1.9 To slepe with out feare. To syt in the beautie of peace, in the tabernacles of fayth, and truste, and in a ryche reste.
