2. We learn hence that a sufficient expiatory Sacrifice is made for sin: and therefore that God is reconciled, and we need not despair, nor are put to mak• expiation our selves, or by any other.
3. We learn that Death, and the Grave, and th• state of Separate Souls, are Sanctified; and Satan conquered as he had the power of Death, as Gods Executioner: And therefore that we may boldly die i• Faith, and commit Soul and Body into the hand • him that died for them.
Q. 20. But did not Christ's go to Paradise? and c•• that be penal?
A. Yes: And so do faithful Souls. But the So•• and Body are a perfect Man; and Nature is against Separation; And as the Union of Christs Soul a•• glorified Body now in Heaven is a more perfect sta than that was of his separated Soul, so the deprivation of that Union and Perfection was a degree penalty: And therefore it was the extraordinary privilege of Enoch and Elijah not to die.
