Cedit enim retro de terra quod fuit ante In Terram, &c. Lu- cret.
CHRISTIANS have handsomely glossed the de- formity of death, by careful consideration of the body, and civil rites which take off brutal termina- tions. And though they conceived all reparable by a resur- rection, cast not off all care of interment. And since the ashes of Sacrifices burnt upon the Altar of God were care- fully carried out by the Priests, and deposed in a clean field; since they acknowledged their bodies to be the
... lodging of Christ, and temples of the holy Ghost, they devolved not all upon the sufficiency of soul existence; and therefore with long services and full solemnities concluded their last Exe- quies, wherein* to all distinctions the (jreek devotion seems most pathetically ceremonious.
Christian invention hath chiefly driven at Rites which speak hopes of another life, and hints of a Resurrection. And if the ancient (gentiles held not the immortality of their better part, and some subsistence after death, in sev- eral rites, customes, actions and expressions, they contra- dicted their own opinions : wherein 'Democritus went high, even to the thought of a resurrection, ^ as scoffingly re- corded by 'Tliny.
