Jerome speaking of his friend Nepotian (you must observe Jerome lived to see some troubles before he died) saith he, Oh! how happy is my friend Nepotian, that sees not these troubles, but is got out of the storm, dies and is arrived safe in Heaven.
Jerom speaking of his friend Nepotian (you must observe Jerom lived to see some troubles before he died) saith he, Oh! how happy is my friend Nepotian, that sees not these troubles, but is got out of the storm, dies and is arrived safe in Heaven.
Luther died in mercy before the trouble in Germany broke forth: and thus you see the Righteous though they die, yet it is well with them, God takes them away in mercy that they may not see approaching evils.
2. Though the Righteous die, and are taken away, yet it is well with them, because death cannot hurt them: Death can neither hurt their body nor yet their souls, and then it is well with them.
1. Death cannot hurt their bodies, the body of a Saint it doth not perish, though it die; the bodies of the Saints are very precious dust in Gods account: precious dust, The Lord locks up these Jewels in the Grave, as in a Cabinet; The bodies of the Saints lie mellowing and ripening in the Grave till the blessed time of the Resurrection. Oh! how precious is the Dust of a Believer, though the world mind it not, yet it is precious unto God. The Husbandman he hath some Corn in his Barn, and he hath other Corn in the Ground: why? the Corn that is in the ground, is as precious to him, as that is in the Barn: the bodies of the Saints in the Grave, are Gods Corn in the ground, but the Lord makes very precious account of this Corn: The bodies of the Saints shall be more glorious and blessed then ever they were, at the Resurrection. Tertullian calls them Angelical bodies, in regard of that beauty and lustre that shall be upon them. As it is with your silks, when they are died of a purple or scarlet colour, they are made more bright and illustrious then they were before; thus it is with the bodies of the Saints, they shall be dyed of a better colour at the Resurrection, they shall be made like a glorious body;
