simpell people vnder / they compell them to serue their lustes and wily tiranny / with out respecte of any comen welth.
Whych wily tiranny / because the trueth rebuketh it / is
the cause why they persecute it / lest the comen people
seynge how good they shulde be and felynge how weked they
are / shuld wythdraw their neckes from their vnrightwesse
yocke. As ye haue ensample in Herode / in

The true fayth putteth the resurreccion which we be warned
to lokefore euery houre. The hethen philosophoures denyenge
that / did put that the soules did euer liue. And the pope
ioyneth the spirituall doctrine of christe and the fleshly

pope consenteth vn to hethen doctrine / ther fore he

stablish it. A current of Christian patristic thought
culminating in Augustine gladly absorbed the
Platonic and Neoplatonic doctrine of the soul's natural immortality,
even to the point of finding here the attribute by which the human
person most resembles God's image and likeness (Gen. 1.26–27). Medieval
scholastic thought offered a cluster of philosophical arguments for individual immortality, especially in response to the 13c
Parisian Averroist doctrine of a collective immortality. The Italian
Renaissance celebration of human dignity climaxed in Marsilio Ficino's
Theologia platonica, sive de immortalitate
animorum (1483), which provided a remote backdrop for Lateran
V's doctrinal affirmation of the soul's immortality in Apostolici regiminis (DS 1440–41; Neuner-Dupuis
410), promulgated in 1513 against Averroists at Padua such as
Nicoletto Vernia and Pietro Pomponazzi. Tyndale represents a resolute
return to the NT doctrine of the resurrection of the whole person (e.g.
John 5.25–28, 1 Thess. 4.15–17, 1 Cor.
15.12–56). (JW)
