II. That the places be diuerse, where the soules of the faithfull, and the vnfaithfull do liue, after the deaths of their bodies.
Nowe, seing the condition and state of the soules of faithfull and vnfaithfull men is so di∣uers: we also beleeue that the places into which they passe are diuers: that is to say, euerlasting tabernacles,
or heauen & paradise ordained for the godlie; and hell and the deepes prepa∣red for the wicked: sith to one of these places the scripturs attribute an immeasurable light, and to the other exceeding darkenesse, which Christ called vtter darkenesse: and sith the Lord saieth,
that he desireth, that where he himselfe is, there should also bee they, vvhich beleeue in him: plainly meaning, that in the same place, where he is in bodie and soule, the faithfull are and shalbe also: first indeede in their soules, after∣wardes at their time they shalbee with their bodies. but the vnfaithful with neither soules nor bodies. So wee iudge it great impietie to say, that heauen is euerie where: sith it is to the vngodlie no where, but to the godlie it is one∣ly assigned in the holie scriptures, as their pro∣per, and euerlasting seate. And it must needes be graunted, both that bodies are circumscri∣bed with their certaine distances of place, yea euen after the resurrection: & also that soules are cōtained at least, (as they speak) definitely.
