Secondly, Gods people are gathered at death; here they are gathered to Christ by grace, but at death they are gathered to Christ in glory; here they are gathered to God by hope, but at death by fruition; here Christ is gathered to us, he comes down and dwells with us, but at death we shall be gathered to him, we shall go up, and •e joined with him. There is a great deal of difference between esse cum Christo, and esse in Christo; esse cum Christo, to be one with Christ is a Christians great security; but esse in Christo, to be one in Christ, it is a Christians great felicity: In this life we are gathered to God by •aith, but at death by vision.

Lastly, We shall be gathered to God at the day of Judgement, it is called the day of the gathering of the Saints together; a day when all the Saints that are, have been, or shall be, shall all be gathered together. 2 Thes. 2. 1. I beseech you brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him at the great day: At the day of judgement we shall all be gathered together, and shall be all taken up to Heaven, I mean all the Righteous, and be ever with the Lord: And so much for the opening of the Doctrine.
