13. Paul saith, he would be 1dissolved, that he might be with Christ, Philip. 1. 2•. In which words he imports two things in death. First, that there is a dissolution of the soul from the body: and secondly, that there is a conjunction of the soul with Christ. Now, which is better for ⟨p. 682⟩us, to have the body, or to have Christ? The same Apostle saith else-where, that they are confident in this, they had rather be absent from the body, and so to be present with the Lord; then to be present with the body, and absent from the Lord, 2. Cor. 5. 7, 8.
