6. Because Christ will carry all his Saints whom he shall raise, up into Heaven with him, where they shall be for ever with the Lord, in perfect Happiness.
The Text that I have chosen contains three of these Arguments, which I shall sum up in these three Doctrinal Conclusions.
Doct. 1. That the death of a Saint is nothing else but a quiet, comfortable, and blessed sleep.
Doct. 2. That the bodies of the Saints, even while they are in their graves, are asleep in Jesus.
Doct. 2. That the bodies of the Saints, even while they are in their graves, are asleep in Iesus.
Doct. 3. That Jesus Christ will raise the dead bodies of the Saints, and join their souls to them, and bring them with him to judgment, and then carry them into heaven, where they shall be ever with the Lord.
