2But then after the death of the soul in this world, there is another degree of spiritual death; which is, when the soul leaves the body, then the soul dies: for then it goes to hell, it is severed for ever from the comfortable and gracious presence of God, and likewise it wants the comforts it had in this world.

3And the third degree of it is, when body and soul shall be joined together; then there is an eternal separation of both, from the presence of God, and an adjudging of them to eternal torments in hell. This is the state of all men that are not in Christ, they are dead in soul while they live; dead after the ⟨p. 27⟩separation of the soul and body; and after to be adjudged to eternal damnation, world without end. Life is a sweet thing, and we know death it is terrible; when we would set out our hatefulness to any thing, we use to say, I hate it as death: do we love life, and do we hate death? we should labour then to be out of that condition, that we are all in by nature, wherein we are under sin and death, in regard of spiritual life (I mean) for, for civill life, and government, and policy, men may have life and vigour enough, that are hypocrites: but I speak of a better life, an eternal life, that is not subject to death.
