[¶0] OF THE CONDITIONS OF THOSE WHO RISE AGAIN, AND FIRST OF THEIR IDENTITY (THREE ARTICLES)

[¶1] In the next place we must consider the conditions of those who rise again. Here we shall consider: (1) Those which concern the good and wicked in common; (2) those which concern the good only; (3) those which concern only the wicked. Three things concern the good and wicked in common, namely their identity, their integrity, and their quality: and we shall inquire (1) about their identity; (2) about their integrity; (3) about their quality.

[¶2] Under the first head there are three points of inquiry:

[¶3] (1) Whether the body will rise again identically the same?

[¶4] (2) Whether it will be the self-same man?

[¶5] (3) Whether it is necessary that the same ashes should return to the same parts in which they were before?
