Eternal life is that fellowship with God, awhereby God himself is, thorough the Lamb Christ, life unto the Elect. For in the kingdom of heaven, the Elect shall not need meat, drink, sleep, air, heat, cold, physic, apparel, or the light of the Sun and moon: b but in place of all these, shall they have in them Gods spirit, by which immediately they shall be quickened for ever.
