Qu. 1. I Have oft wondered why there is nothing i• the Creed of the Immortality of the Soul, and its state before the Resurrection.
A. 1. The Article of Christ's Descent, tells us that his Soul was among the separated Souls, while his Body was in the Grave: as he told the Thief, that he should be that day with him in Paradise.
2. The Resurrection of the Body is a thing not known at all by Nature, but only by supernatural Revelation, and therefore is an Article of mere belief: But the Immortality or future Life of Souls, is a point which the Light of Nature revealeth, and therefore was taken both by Jews and sober Heathens as a Truth of common Notice: Even as the Love of our selves is not expressed in the Ten Commandments, but only the Love of God and others, because it was a thing presupposed.
