Ultima, = the last things in reference to the first and middle things

The summons is given, and every man must appear: Death must now give back all their spoils, and restore again all that she hath took from the world. What a ghastly sight will this be, to see all the Sepulchres open, to see dead men rise out of their graves, and the scattered dust to fly on the wings of the wind, till it meet together in one compacted body? Ezekiels dry bones shall live: thus saith the Lord, I will lay sinews upon you, and make flesh grow upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and you shall know that I am the Lord, Ezek. 37.6.¹ This dust of ours shall be devoured of worms, consumed by Serpents, which crawl and spring from the marrow of our bones: look in a dead mans grave, and see what you find; but dust, and worms, and bones, and skulls, putrefied flesh, an house full of stench and vermin; Behold then the power of God Almighty, out of this grave and dust of the earth; from these chambers of death and darkness, shall arise the bodies of the buried, the graves will fly open, and the dead go out; not an hair, not a dust, not a bone shall be denied, but whatsoever holds their dust shall yield their bodies: I saw the dead (saith John) small and great stand before God; ²and the Sea gave up the dead which were in it, and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them, and they were judged every man according to their works, Revel. 20.13. what a wonderful sight will this be, to see the sea and earth bring forth in all parts such variety of bodies: to see so many sorts of people & nations to come together? huge armies, innumerable, as the Caterpillars of Egypt, all shall arise, and every one appear before the Lords Tribunal: worms, and corruption, cannot hinder the resurrection, he that said to Corruption, ³thou art my father, and to the worm thou art my sister and mother, said also, I know that my Redeemer liveth, and mine ⟨p. 105⟩eyes shall behold him. O good God! how wonderful is thy power? this flesh of ours shall turn to dust▪ be eat of worms, consume to nothing, if there be any relics of our ashes, the wind may scatter them, the blasts divide them, our feet trample them, the beasts digest them, the vermin devour them; if nothing, yet time will consume them.
