First, when the Lord shall descend, he will bring the spirits of just men made perfect, with him from Heaven. The Souls of all his glorified Saints (whose bodies to this moment have slept in the Grave) shall follow Christ out of the gates of the New Jerusalem, to attend that glorious solemnity: so it is ⟨p. 47⟩prophesied, Behold, 1the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his Saints. When Christ cometh to judg the world, there shall not be a Saint left in Heaven saith Chrysostom. *Heaven shall as it were be left empty to attend the King of Glory going forth out of his Royal Palace, to finish the work of the great and last Judgment of the world; he shall come attended with all his Saints, they shall fill up his Train.
- 1Jude v. 14.

Secondly, As Christ will bring their Souls with him from Heaven, so he will bring their bodies from the Grave. 1Christ at his coming to Judgment, will first go to the Graves of the Saints, and cry to them aloud in some such language as once he did to their Souls in the days of their unregeneracy (when dead in sins and trespasses,) in the Gospel-call, Awake thou that sleepest, and stand up from the dead, and I will give thee Life.
- 1It is noted how that in the Transfiguration, the body of Moses which was hid in the Valley of Moab, appeared in the Mount of Tabor, which assures us that the bodies of the Saints, where-ever they be lodged, are not lost, but laid up, to be raised to glory; the same numerical body that was laid down in dust.
