He was gathered to his Fathers.
Hee was gathered to his Fathers.
HE• was gathered to his Fathers both in regard of his body, and in regard of his soul▪ for his body went to the house of the dead, the grave: and his soul went to his fathers, to heaven. As I said before of sleep, so of this: it is a phrase of Scripture that must be understood as the persons are. When a man dies, his body goes to the place, or house of all men, the house of darkness, the grave▪ but for his soul that goes as the man is (to his fathers) to hell, if he be naught: to the souls of just and perfect men (as the Apostle speaks) if he have lived a gracious, and a good life; and so it must be understood here, because he speaks of a blessed man.
