If there be such a blessed estate of Gods children in death, and after death; I beseech 1you let us carry our selves so, as that we may be partakers of that happiness; let us labour to be righteous men, labour to be in Christ, to have the righteousness of Christ to be ours, to be out of our selves in Christ, in Christ in life, in Christ in death, and at the day of Judgment in Christ, not having our own righteousness, (as the Apostle saith) but his righteousness, and then the righteousness of grace, and of a good conscience will alway go with the other.
