doe partake of according to the words of Christ Iohn 5. where hee saith The houre is comming and now is when the dead shall heare the voyce of the Sonne of God and they that heare it shall live verse 25. And then afterward saith Marvell not at this for the houre is comming in the which all that are in the graves shall heare his voyes and shall come forth they that have done good unto the resurrection of life and they that have done evill unto the resurrection of damnation verse 28 29. Where the first resurrection which is spirituall of the soul and the second universall resurrection of the body are both of them plainly and distinctly described And the Apostle Paul to the Saints of the Church of Colossia saith And yee are compleat in him which is the head of all Principality and power in whom also yee are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands in putting off the body of the sinnes of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ buried with him in Baptisme wherein also yee are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God who hath raised him from the dead And you being dead hath hee quickned together with him Col. 2.10 11 12 13. And Coloss 3. hee saith If yee bee risen with Christ seeke those things which are above where Christ sitteth at the right hand of God vers 1. So Rev. 20. And I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witnesse of Iesus and for the word of God and which had not worshipped the Beast nor his Image nor had received his mark upon their foreheads or in their hands and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years vers 4. And then saith This is the first resurrection Blessed and holy is be that hath part in the first Resurrection for on such the second death hath no power but they shall be Priests of God and of Christ and shall reigne with him a thousand years vers 5 6. Where the Lord also speaketh to living men and of them who having their part here in the first resurrection spirituall and suffering for the testimony of Christ and dying with him as Paul in another place saith For the rejoycing that I have in Christ Iesus I die daily And again For thy sake O Lord are wee slain all the day long and counted as sheep to the slaughter may herein be much comforted in respect of the promise that the second death shall have no power on them according to that in John 5. Hee that heareth my word and beleeveth in him that sent me hath everlasting life and shall not come into condemnation but is passed from death to life vers 24. So here Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection on such the second death hath no power but they shall bee Priests of God and of Christ and shall reigne with him a thousand years Whereby it is manifest the Lord speaketh to men living in the body and of them such as having their part here in this The first Resurrection for there can be but one first resurrection who although now during the time of the reigne of the great Antichrist especially which was to be a thousand yeares at least they as touching their bodies should for the word of God and witnesse of Jesus Christ bee beheaded slaine c. and for the hope fake in Christ die daily yet in the spirit as touching the soule live and reigne with Christ as Paul saith dying and behold we live c. 2 Cor. 6.9 Again for ye are dead and your life is hid with Christ in God Col. 3.4 And when the thousand yeares are expired and Satan loosed out of his prison to goe unto the Kings of the earth and of the whole world to gather them to the battell of the great day of God Almighty according to Rev. 16.14 and 20.8.9 Then the Lord comming in his glory all that are in the graves even every one small and great shall heare his voyce and shall come forth They that through the grace and power of the Spirit of God in the new birth and first resurrection have done good unto the resurrection of life eternall in respect of their body also united now to their soule they being found written in the book of life And they that have done evill those rest of the dead that had no part in the first resurrection spirituall from the death by sinne and so not beeing found written in the booke of life unto the resurection of condemnation in the lake of fire burning with brimstone which is the second death They now have a resurrection and live again though a miserable dying life body and soule for ever And that the first resurrection Rev. 20. cannot possibly bee meant of the bodies of any that are to rise from the dead as the Millenaries would have it wee may perceive plainly by the words of the Text verse 4. where John saith not And I saw the soules that were he headed as if that could bee neither doth he say And I saw the bodies that were beheaded and they lived c. But his words are And I saw the soules of them that were beheaded c. that is of those whose bodies were beheaded of which soules he saith And they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years c. The soule can no more truly be said to rise from the dead with the body when it shall rise from the dead nor for the body then it can be said to be beheaded with it or for it For although in some other cases when bodies and soules are living together it may bee said as in Genesis 46. All the soules of the house of Iacob which came into Egypt were threescore and ten verse 27. in such like cases as this the soule being the principall part of man and the body living and moving together with it may rightly and truly bee named for both yet in other cases not so And to name the soule and say when a body is beheaded or dieth the soul is beheaded or dieth or when the body shall arise from the dead the soule riseth from the dead it is to say and speak a very untruth When the bodies of those Saints which slept arose from the dead at the time of Christs resurrection it is not said their Soules arose but their Bodies onely Matth. 27.52 And the graves were opened and the bodies of many Saints which slept arose and appeared unto many The soule cannot with any truth or sense of reasonable understanding bee named for the body nor for both in those cases Nay all the Millenarians in the world how learned or orthodoxall soever they are accounted are not able to prove this thing except they hold and can prove as some have been so bold of late to affirme and publish that the soule of man is mortall and dieth when the body dieth and so lieth dead in the grave with
