The meaning of this article.
The articles that follow, contain the consummation or perfecting of those same benefits of Christ, to wit, that same blessed life, which we shall live, both in body and soul in the kingdom of our heavenly Father, being fully joined with our head Christ, being fully regenerate and transformed into his image and glory, 1. Cor. 15. Philip. 3. For our souls, as soon as they shall pass out of this life, shall enter into the rest of their Lord: for that which was spoken unto the believing thief, is also spoken to all the faithful. Now in the end of the world their bodies being taken again, they shall enjoy full happiness. And certainly the very same bodies, which having put off all infirmity, shall put on incorruption, incomprehensible power, & glory, a taste whereof Christ gave unto his Apostles in the mount: Matth. 17. for he was transformed before them, and his face did shine as the sun, and his garments were glistering as the light.
