When Paul preached of the Resurrection, to the learned Athenians, some mocked; and others turned off that discourse, Acts 17. 32. It is no easier to believe the Resurrection of the Body, than the Immortality or separated Existence of the Soul. Most of the world, even Heathens and Infidels do confess the latter, but few of them comparatively believe the former. And if sin had not let in Death upon our Nature, th•• perilous ⟨p. 16⟩difficulty had been prevented: Then we should not have been puzzled with the thoughts of either a corrupted Body, or a separated Soul.
