I shall not stay here to inquire into the nature and properties of the Saints bodies, when Christ shall raise them up out of their Graves: that inquiry will be more proper and seasonable in some of the following clauses of this context.
Concerning the manner of it (for the help of our Infant-understandings) briefly, 1we may conceive it after this method.
- 1The manner of the Resurrection.
First, The holy Angels of God shall be sent abroad, to gather together the scattered dust of the Saints, though separated one from the other at never so great a distance into all the quarters and extremities of the earth, 1and shall bring them ⟨p. 48⟩together, 2not so much as one dust wanting (for he that numbers the Stars, doth number also the dust and ashes of his Redeemed): as not an hair of their heads, so not a dust of their resolved flesh shall perish.
- 1Math. 24.31.
- 2Math. 24.31. The incineration, & dissipation of their dust shall have a Recollection in the Resurrection.
