And thus made up into a beautiful Structure, (more beautiful than ever it was in its first Creation, as I shall show hereafter); Christ will put each Soul into its own body again, and unite them together into the same sweet conjugal society and fellowship they possessed before their separation; this friendly espoused Pair, shall now be solemnly Married together, before God, and Men, and Angels, never to suffer Divorce any more, and they shall become one entire person, a totum compositum, as they were in the days of their first contract.
