Three treatises tending to awaken secure sinners

In this appearance of the soul before God it seemeth by Scripture, that there is some Ministry ⟨p. 170⟩of Angels; for Luke 16. 22. it is said that the Angels carried Lazarus, that is, his soul, into Abraham's bosom. What local motion there is, or situation of souls, is no fit matter for the enquiry of Mortals: and what it is in this that the Angels will do, we cannot clearly understand as yet; But most certain it is, that as soon as ever the soul is out of the Body, it comes to its account before the God of Spirits.

2. At the end of the world the bodies of all men shall be raised from the earth, and joined again to their souls; and the soul and body shall be judged to their endless state; and this is the great and general Judgement, where all men shall at once appear. The same power of God that made men of nothing, will as easily then New make them by a Resurrection; by which he will add much more perfection, even to the wicked in their Naturals, which will make them capable of the greater misery; even they shall have immortal and incorruptible bodies, which may be the subjects of immortal woe, 1 Cor. 15. 53.
