Thirdly, He that is gathered to the second Adam by faith in this World, shall certainly be gathered unto Christ by vision in the other World; Christ Jesus will save all his Members; and you must know, that Faith is a transplanting Grace; it is not only a heart-purifying, but a World overcoming Grace, it takes a man out of the old Adam, and puts him into the new Adam, it takes a man out of the root of scattering, and puts him into the root of union and conjunction: wherefore you that are now joined to Christ by faith here, shall be joined to Christ in glory hereafter: But now you that are Vagabonds, Cains ⟨p. 401⟩and Aliens from the life of God, and from the life of Grace: You that are wooden members, wooden legs in Christs body, that have no real conjunction with Christ, you shall not be gathered to him in glory.

Lastly, If you are gathered here to the Saints by love, then you shall be gathered to the Saints in Heaven, and to the everlasting enjoyment of God with them to all Eternity. Consider this; Every man shall be gathered (when he dies) to those whom he delights, and chooseth to keep company with while he lives in the world: if you are gathered to the wicked in love and affection here, you shall be gathered to them at death in Hell and destruction; for it's pity companions should be parted: Wheat must to Wheat, and Tares to Tares; for Wheat and Tares shall not be bound together at the last day.
