the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage but are as the Angels of God in heaven Mat. 22. 30. And the Apostle sets it forth more at large 1 Corinth 15. 42 43 44. where speaking of the body and shewing how much it shall differ in the resurrection from what now it is he saith It is sown in corruption it is raised in incorruption It is sown in dishonour it is raised in glory It is sown in weaknesse it is raised in power It is sown a naturall body it is raised a spirituall body Such as are found alive at Christs comming and shall not die and therefore not properly rise againe shall yet have this change as the Apostle there sheweth verse 51 52 53. But this blessed and glorious change of the body belongs onely to the godly as for the wicked they shall indeed rise again and be changed but their resurrection shall be unto condemnation John 5. 29. And their change shall be to perpetuall shame and contempt Dan. 12. 2. Onely they that are the living members of Christ and have their conversation in Heaven can expect that Christ will change their vile bodies and make them like unto his most glorious body as the Apostle teacheth Philip. 3. 20 21. Of life everlasting And life everlasting This is the end of our faith 1 Pet. 1. 9. and therefore fitly put in the end of the Creed That after this life which is but temporall there shall be another life which is eternall the Scripture is plain and expresse Dan. 12. 2. Ioh. 3. 16. and in many other places Everlasting life begun here Everlasting life is begun here and so it is called the life of grace He that beleeveth on the Son hath everlasting life John 3. 36. He saith not shall have but hath So John 5. 24. Verily verily I say unto you he that heareth my word and beleeveth on him that sent me hath everlasting life So 1 John 3. 14. We know that we are passed from death to life because we love the brethren He means from the death of sinne to the life of grace and that this life of grace is a beginning of eternall life he shews in the Verse following Whosoever hateth his brother is a Murtherer and no murtherer hath eternall life abiding in him Everlasting life perfected hereafter Everlasting life is perfected hereafter and so it s called the life of glory In the world to come everlasting life Mark 10. 30. to wit in the fulnesse and perfection of it In respect of the soul this life is perfected immediately after its separation from the the bodie Heb. 12. 23. In respect of the bodie it is perfected at the resurrection 1 Cor. 15. 52 53 54. and 1 Thess 4. 16 17. What a life this life of glory is onely they fully know who do enjoy it It is a glory that shall be revealed Rom. 8. 18. It doth not yet appear what we shall be I John 3. 2. But thus much by the Scripture we may know that it consists in a clear vision of God and a full fruition of him See 1 Cor. 13. 12. and 2 Cor. 5. 6 7 8. and 1 John 3. 3. Such is the happinesse of this life that it is free from all evill and full of all good 1. It is free from all evill both all evill of sinne and also all evill of affliction Whiles we are here in this mortall bodie all wee can do is to keep sinne under that it do not reigne in us Rom. 6. 12. 1 John 1. 8. But in the life to come sinne shall not so much as be in us They that enjoy that life are just men made perfect Heb 12. 23. Here man is born to trouble even as the sparks flie upward Job 5. 7. But in the life to come there shall be a perfect freedome from all molestation All tears shall be wiped away Revel 7. 17. 2. It is full of all good For in that life God is enjoyed and that most fully and perfectly and so far forth as any enjoy God they are sure to enjoy all good Delight thy self in the Lord and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart Psal 37. 4. Whom have I in heaven but thee and there is none upon earth that I desire besides thee Psal 73. 25. As for me I will behold thy face in righteousnesse I shdll be satisfied when I awake with thy likenesse Psal 17. 15. Thou wilt shew me the path of life in thy presence is fulnesse of joy at thy right hand there are pleasures for ever more Psalm 16. 11. What is this life in comparison of that which is to come yet while this life lasteth that life which is to come must be acquired For after death commeth judgement Heb. 9. 27. As a man soweth here so shall he reap hereafter Gal. 6. 7. Therefore fight the good fight of faith and lay hold on eternall life 1 Tim. 6. 12. Sow to the Spirit that so you may of the Spirit reap life everlasting Gal. 6. 8. What the word Amen doth signifie and how it is used Amen This word Amen is an Hebrew word but most common in all languages It signifies as much as truth Isai 65. 16. The God of truth the word in the Originall there rendred truth is Amen So Revel 3. 14. Christ is stiled the Amen that is the Truth as he stiles himself Ioh. 14. 6. And so in that place of the Revelation it follows immediately The faithfull and true Witnesse by which words is declared what is meant by the Amen Sometimes the word Amen is used adverbially and imports as much as verily or truly I tell you of a truth there be some standing here which shall not taste of death till they see the Kingdome of God Luke 9. 27. In Mat. 16. 28. it is Verily I say unto you there be some standing here c. In the Originall the word there rendred Verily is Amen and so it is rendred also in other places Sometimes this word Amen is used only by way of wishing to expresse a desire that a thing migbt be though there bee no perswasion that it shall be When the false Prophet had said that God would shortly bring backe the persons and the things that were carryed into Babylon Ieremiah said Amen Ier. 28. 6. Not that he assented to what the other said but onely he wished that it might be But for most part the word Amen is used for confirmation of that which is spoken and to shew the truth and certainty of the thing as also ones assent unto it and assurance of it And sometimes it is used in the beginning of a sentence thus our Saviour often used it Amen or doubling the word Amen Amen Isay c. Joh. 3. 3 5. where our Translators render it Verily verily Sometimes it is used in the end of a sentence or of many sentences as Rom. 9. 5. Who is God blessed for ever Amen And Rom. 11. 26. To him be glory for ever Amen So in the end of the Lords Prayer Mat. 6. 13. And in the end of the Gospell written by S. Matthew S. Mark S. Luke and S. John So also in the end of all Pauls Epistles of both Peters of the first and second of John of Jude of the Revelation The word therefore Amen doth teach us to be fully perswaded and assured of the truth of the Articles before rehearsed Let us draw near with a true heart in a full assurance of faith Heb. 10. 22. Stand fast in the faith 1 Cor. 16. 13. Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering Heb. 10. 23. FINIS
