in_o the_o word_n of_o the_o text_n god_n will_v bring_v with_o he_o but_o before_o he_o bring_v they_o he_o must_v first_o raise_v they_o the_o body_n of_o the_o saint_n shall_v not_o always_o dwell_v in_o the_o dust_n 26.19_o therefore_o the_o prophet_n isaiah_n call_v upon_o they_o to_o awake_v and_o sing_v awake_v and_o sing_v you_o that_o dwell_v in_o dust_n a_o strange_a expression_n be_v there_o any_o cause_n of_o rejoice_v for_o those_o who_o dwell_v in_o dust_n yes_o awake_v and_o sing_v you_o which_o dwell_v in_o dust_n for_o the_o earth_n shall_v give_v up_o the_o dead_a which_o be_v in_o it_o and_o the_o sea_n also_o as_o the_o whale_n cast_v up_o jonah_n on_o the_o shore_n so_o shall_v the_o sea_n cast_v up_o her_o dead_a when_o jonah_n be_v swallow_v up_o by_o

a_o atheistical_a eye_n be_v like_o the_o belly_n of_o the_o whale_n and_o a_o atheist_n be_v ready_a to_o think_v that_o the_o child_n of_o god_n be_v utter_o lose_v but_o when_o the_o trumpet_n shall_v sound_v and_o the_o archangel_n speak_v the_o word_n the_o whale_n shall_v cast_v up_o jonah_n the_o sea_n shall_v give_v up_o her_o dead_a and_o the_o earth_n also_o for_o they_o be_v but_o god_n steward_n unto_o who_o he_o have_v betrust_v the_o body_n of_o his_o saint_n and_o when_o god_n call_v they_o to_o give_v a_o account_n of_o their_o stewardship_n they_o will_v give_v in_o a_o most_o faithful_a account_n and_o will_v not_o leave_v one_o body_n behind_o they_o be_v but_o tyring-house_n or_o withdraw_a room_n for_o a_o while_n they_o be_v but_o sleeping-place_n and_o as_o a_o

even_o for_o the_o body_n of_o those_o that_o love_v he_o some_o part_n of_o this_o glory_n i_o have_v discover_v already_o in_o a_o funeral_n sermon_n in_o print_n and_o therefore_o shall_v now_o

who_o after_o his_o release_n out_o of_o the_o go●l_n be_v make_v lord_n of_o egypt_n so_o shall_v the_o body_n of_o the_o saint_n be_v raise_v out_o of_o their_o grave_n to_o be_v make_v like_o

the_o papist_n think_v to_o the_o apostle_n and_o such_o who_o have_v leave_v all_o for_o christ_n but_o common_a to_o all_o the_o saint_n of_o god_n who_o be_v such_o indeed_o and_o in_o truth_n i_o

body_n safe_a till_o the_o great_a resurrection_n and_o he_o have_v also_o make_v it_o a_o beat_a and_o plain_a way_n to_o heaven_n christ_n jesus_n himself_o go_v to_o heaven_n through_o the_o

man_n the_o grave_n be_v a_o thoroughfare_n to_o hell_n but_o to_o a_o man_n asleep_a in_o jesus_n it_o be_v a_o passage_n to_o heaven_n where_o christ_n be_v and_o if_o st._n austin_n be_v willing_a to_o go_v even_o through_o hell_n to_o christ_n in_o heaven_n much_o more_o may_v we_o be_v willing_a to_o go_v through_o the_o grave_n to_o he_o 3._o they_o that_o sleep_n in_o jesus_n have_v this_o

and_o annihilate_v by_o death_n but_o something_o of_o their_o body_n remain_v undestroy_v there_o be_v nothing_o utter_o total_o and_o final_o destroy_v in_o a_o child_n of_o god_n by_o death_n but_o sin_n and_o misery_n the_o rot_v of_o the_o body_n in_o the_o grave_n be_v but_o as_o the_o rot_a of_o the_o corn_n in_o the_o earth_n as_o the_o apostle_n say_v 1_o cor._n 15.36_o the_o seed_n be_v cast_v into_o the_o earth_n and_o there_o it_o die_v and_o rot_v but_o be_v not_o utter_o extinct_a but_o rot_v in_o the_o ground_n that_o it_o may_v be_v quicken_v again_o so_o the_o body_n of_o the_o saint_n rot_v in_o their_o grave_n that_o they_o may_v be_v raise_v again_o and_o make_v like_a unto_o the_o glorious_a body_n of_o jesus_n christ._n and_o this_o be_v another_o reason_n why_o the_o death_n of_o a_o child_n of_o god_n be_v call_v a_o sleep_n because_o as_o a_o man_n asleep_o be_v not_o extinct_a no_o more_o be_v he_o in_o the_o grave_n there_o be_v a_o substance_n preserve_v and_o as_o david_n say_v of_o a_o afflict_a righteous_a man_n 34.20_o that_o god_n keep_v all_o his_o bone_n not_o one_o of_o they_o be_v break_v so_o god_n keep_v the_o dust_n and_o ash_n of_o his_o child_n so_o as_o they_o shall_v not_o be_v utter_o and_o total_o consume_v object_n but_o be_v there_o not_o a_o substance_n preserve_v also_o in_o the_o body_n of_o the_o wicked_a answ._n it_o be_v true_a their_o body_n be_v not_o utter_o destroy_v but_o remain_v not_o by_o virtue_n of_o their_o union_n with_o christ_n but_o preserve_v by_o the_o almighty_a power_n of_o god_n as_o a_o terrible_a lord_n and_o severe_a judge_n and_o remain_v as_o in_o a_o prison_n till_o the_o great_a day_n of_o judgement_n in_o which_o they_o shall_v appear_v before_o christ_n and_o then_o be_v condemn_v to_o hell_n happy_a be_v it_o for_o a_o wicked_a man_n if_o his_o body_n be_v annihilate_v by_o death_n as_o it_o be_v happy_a for_o a_o traitor_n if_o he_o die_v in_o prison_n and_o escape_v hang_v but_o herein_o consist_v the_o difference_n between_o he_o and_o a_o man_n asleep_a in_o jesus_n a_o man_n out_o of_o christ_n be_v not_o proper_o preserve_v in_o the_o grave_n but_o rather_o reserve_v by_o the_o power_n of_o christ_n to_o be_v afterward_o torment_v in_o hell_n but_o a_o man_n in_o christ_n be_v not_o only_o reserve_v but_o by_o virtue_n of_o his_o union_n with_o christ_n and_o preserve_v to_o enjoy_v eternal_a glory_n with_o their_o soul_n at_o the_o great_a day_n of_o judgement_n 4._o he_o that_o sleep_v in_o jesus_n have_v this_o benefit_n also_o that_o

this_o i_o shall_v answer_v to_o three_o question_n quest._n 1._o what_o part_n of_o a_o child_n of_o god_n be_v it_o that_o sleep_v when_o he_o die_v ans._n there_o be_v some_o who_o say_v that_o

example_n of_o stephen_n 57_o because_o it_o be_v say_v of_o he_o that_o he_o fall_v asleep_a but_o still_o the_o question_n be_v what_o part_n of_o stephen_n fall_v asleep_o not_o his_o soul_n for_o he_o commend_v that_o into_o the_o hand_n of_o christ_n lord_n jesus_n receive_v my_o spirit_n and_o he_o see_v the_o heaven_n open_v and_o the_o son_n of_o man_n stand_v on_o the_o right_a hand_n of_o god_n ready_a to_o receive_v his_o soul_n immediate_o it_o be_v the_o body_n of_o stephen_n fall_v asleep_a but_o his_o soul_n be_v present_o receive_v by_o the_o lord_n jesus_n into_o heaven_n when_o a_o man_n die_v his_o body_n return_v to_o dust_n from_o whence_o it_o come_v but_o the_o soul_n return_v to_o god_n who_o give_v it_o 12.7_o either_o to_o be_v judge_v to_o everlasting_a happiness_n or_o everlasting_a misery_n indeed_o in_o one_o sense_n the_o soul_n may_v be_v say_v at_o death_n to_o fall_v asleep_a that_o be_v it_o be_v at_o rest_n in_o abraham_n bosom_n but_o it_o

or_o misery_n till_o the_o resurrection_n this_o be_v a_o most_o uncomfortable_a and_o unscriptural_a opinion_n when_o st._n paul_n desire_v to_o be_v dissolve_v and_o to_o be_v with_o christ_n he_o do_v not_o desire_v to_o lie_v asleep_a till_o the_o resurrection_n and_o neither_o to_o see_v know_v or_o enjoy_v christ_n but_o to_o be_v make_v happy_a with_o he_o and_o by_o he_o when_o christ_n promise_v to_o the_o penitent_a thief_n selah_n that_o that_o day_n he_o shall_v be_v with_o he_o in_o paradise_n his_o meaning_n be_v that_o he_o shall_v enjoy_v unspeakable_a pleasure_n with_o he_o
