Secondly, we are to consider, that there be three degrees of eternal life. The first where of, is in this world before we die; and it is then, when we▪ begin to repent and believe in Christ, and to be assured in conscience, that God the father is our father, Christ our redeemer, and the holy Ghost our comforter. For this is eternal life, to know God, and him whom 1he hath sent Jesus Christ. The next degree is in death: for death cuts off all sin, original and actual: death frees us from all worldly miseries: death prepareth the body, that it may be fit, to enter into eternal happiness together with the soul, which is already in heaven. The last degree is, when body and soul reunited, go both together, into eternal and everlasting glory in heaven.
