1. Immortality, 1 Cor. 15. 54. Glorified bodies can never possibly die. They shall last as long as GOD Himself, and run parallel with the longest line of eternity. In which respect also, our ⟨p. 131⟩condition is a thousand times more happy and glorious, than if we had stood still with Adam in his innocency and felicity. If so, he could but have conveyed unto us bodies immortall *potentiâ non moriendi ex Hypothesi, as they say; that is, endowed only with power of not dying, if so and so: but now they shall be immortal impotentiâ moriendi, that is, shine for ever in the highest heavens with impossibility of ever perishing.

- *Immortalitas sumitur quadrifariam: Pro 1. Impotentia moriendi absoluta, & natura. Sic solus DEVS immortalitatem habet, 1 Tim. 6. 16. 2. Impotentia moriendi ex gratia creationis: sic Angeli & animae humanae sunt immortales. 3. Impotentia moriendi ex gratia doni: sic coelum novum, terra nova, corpora beatorum immortalitatem habebunt. 4. Potentia non moriendi ex aliqua Hypothesi, licet in se sit mortal. Sic homo ante peccatum erat immortalis corpore, ex Hypothesi unionis cum anima originaliter perfecta, immortally.
