2. There is a derivative, dependant, essential immortality. Some substances have no seed of corruptibility, nor of death in them. Being either separate from all matter, which is the seat and root of corruption, as the Angels, or united to matter, yet so as not being produced from it, or having any affinity with it, such are the souls of men. Whole man in his creation was not immortal either of these ways;1 a part of man was, but man was not created immortal: Man was of a middle state and condition, neither altogether so mortal, nor altogether immortal, but capable of either.

3. There is an immortality by the power or gift, by the mercy or justice of God. The power and justice of God shall give an immortality to the bodies of the damned in hell, they shall ever live a dying life, who were dead all while they lived. They who have slighted the mercy of God, shall be upheld by his power, to endure his justice to all eternity; wicked men would have sinned with delight for ever upon the earth, if they could have lived for ever upon the earth, and they shall live for ever with pain in hell to suffer for their sin.
