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.

Opened, did I say? Alas it is impossible! This Union is a mystery; a great mystery, Ephes. 5.32
