Furthermore graunt that, wherin the pith and strength of the question doth consist (which can neuer be proued by scripture) that God did permit =Samuell= to returne and to prophesie things to come after his death, yet will it not thereof follow, that such visions should now be shewed also, or that those things should be out of hand credited and done which they commaund. God in times past, did often in visible shape send his Angels vnto men, but now we heare not that many are sent vnto men, neither indéed is the same necessary. When the Apostles liued here, many notable miracles were done, but now for certaine good causes, they cease and fall away, for whatsoeuer is necessary for our saluation, is expresly conteined in the word of God. These notes touching =Samuels= appearing, may suffise. CHAP. X. Moyses and Elias appeared in the Mounte vnto Christ our Lord: many haue bene raised from the dead both in bodie and soule, and therefore soules after they are departed, may returne on earth againe. [Sidenote: _Mat.17._ Moses & Elias appeared.] In like manner they obiect vnto vs, out of the 17. of =Matthew=, that =Moses= and =Helias= were séene in the Mount, (which is called by the olde Writers _Tabor_,) with our Lord Iesus, by the Apostles whom he had chosen for the same purpose, and that they did speake with him. =Luke= telleth of what matters they communed with him, to wit of his death, that is yͤ death of the crosse. Thereupon they gather, that the soules of dead men may come againe into earth & appeare vnto men: we haue graunted before that God is able to send soules again into the earth, but that it is his will so to do, or that it is necessary especially at these dayes, is not yet proued. =Moses= and =Helias= appeared appeared not to al the Apostles but only to thrée, neither did they speake to those thrée, they brought no new Doctrine, they commanded them not to build Churches in their honor, or to do any such like thing, whether that their soules came alone, or their bodies: also sure it is, they were not sent to the Apostles, but to Christ onely. It was very necessary, that they which should be Christs witnesses, shuld very wel vnderstand, that both yͤ Law and the Prophets, do beare record vnto our Sauior Christ, that he shuld die for the world, and come again in the latter day, to raise vp the dead bodies, to glorifie them, & to carry them with him, into eternal blisse. And for this cause, God would haue these two excellent Prophets séene of the Apostles. [Sidenote: Lazarus came againe on earth. _Iohn 11._]
