III.The matter of the resurrection is considered either as the subject-quo or as the subject-quod.The matter is man alone: for his body alone, being mortal, is rendered immortal, as Nemesius On the Nature of Man ch. 1.Therefore Muhammad is to be refuted, who in the Qur'an makes the resurrection of beasts an article of faith.
IV.The subject-quo is properly the flesh, or the body of man, and that whole and complete.For resurrection properly is not according to the soul but according to the body, because the human soul is immortal.Hence they err who say souls perish with bodies, or that to die is to be utterly extinguished.
Latin
III. Materia resurrectionis consideratur vel ut subjectum quo, vel ut subjectum quod. Materia resurrectionis est solus homo: nam corpus illius solius, cum mortale sit, immortale redditur, ut Nemesius de nat. hominis cap. 1. Quare Mahumedus explodendus est, qui in Alcorano bestiarum resurrectionem fidei caput facit. IV. Subjectum quo est proprie caro, seu corpus hominis & quidem integrum & absolutum. Resurrectio enim proprie non fit secundum animam, sed secundum corpus: quia anima hominis est immortalis. Unde errant qui dicunt animas una cum corporibus interire, vel mori esse penitus exstingui.
