The soul, sayeth he, after bodily death shall have rest, and than after that shall take again her body, that she may have glory. S Barnard: the sweetness which the souls of the saints have at this present is great, but it is not yet perfect: for it shall be made perfect, when they shall fit on seats as judges: wham they have put of there bodies, they be ⟨image 71⟩forth with brought into rest: but not into the glory of the kingdom, And in his sermon following, he prosecuteth still the same argument, saying that there be three estates of the soul. The first in the body as in a tabernacle The second after death, as in the porch of the temple. The third in heaven with his glorified body. Who that would know more, Let him read the second and third sermon upon Alhallon day.
