Therefore they are said in the next place, to dye in Christ; Blessed are the dead that dye in the Lord: so verse 16. after the Text, makes mention of the dead in Christ; so that, that which dissolves all other Unions, dissolves not this, death it self; when the Union between body and Soul is dissolved, ⟨p. 38⟩the Union between Christ and Believers dissolveth not.
Yea, see one strain higher yet; not only in death, but even after death, 1this Union holds; the Saints are said to sleep in Jesus; that part of the Saints, which is capable of sleep, is not capable of separation from Christ; while their more noble part is united to Christ in Heaven, amongst the Spirits of just men made perfect; Christ is United to their Inferiors and more ignoble part in the Grave, their very dust; they sleep in Jesus.
