Oh Christians! think with your selves what a joyful meeting that will be; when two such ancient Friends, that have been parted so long, shall meet, and embrace, and kiss one another, never to suffer any more Divorce, or fear of Divorce, to Eternity! How will the Soul bless God, when it shall receive its own body again, it's true Yoke-fellow and Fellow-labourer, which laboured with it much in the Lord, and which was wont to be its Oratory, and Temple, wherein the Soul performed all its Sacra, its holy devotions, in season and out of season?
Oh Christians! think with your selves what a joyful meeting that will be; when two such ancient Friends, that have been parted so long, shall meet, and embrace, and kiss one another, never to suffer any more Divorce, or fear of Divorce, to Eternity!

And how will the Body rejoice to see the Soul again, to whom it was espoused, which was the guide of its youth, that (in its capacity) which Christ is to the Soul, it's King, Priest, and Prophet, and by virtue of whose conjunction with it, the very body, as poor and mean as it was in its original extraction, was preferred and admitted into Fellowship, and Communion with the Son of God; and (upon that account) not forgotten all the while it slept in the land of forgetfulness, and thought not of it self: I say, Solace your selves with the prevision of that Triumph and Exultation that will fill this blessed new-Married couple! especially, when they shall receive one another so much more excellent than themselves at their last parting; that the body shall seem to be Transessentiated into a Soul, and the Soul transformed into an Angel of Light; Rejoice, O Christian Soul, to think how these two morning Stars will sing for joy, in this their new and for ever blessed Conjunction.
And how will the Body rejoyce to see the Soul again, to whom it was espoused, which was the guide of its youth, that (in its capacity) which Christ is to the Soul, it's King, Priest, and Prophet, and by vertue of whose conjunction with it, the very body, as poor and mean as it was in its original extraction, was preferr'd and admitted into Fellowship, and Communion with the Son of God; and (upon that account) not forgotten all the while it slept in the land of forgetfulness, and thought not of it self: I say, Solace your selves with the praevision of that Triumph and Exultation that will fill this blessed new-Married couple! especially, when they shall receive one another so much more excellent than themselves at their last parting; that the body shall seem to be Transessentiated into a Soul, and the Soul transformed into an Angel of Light; Rejoyce, O Christian Soul, to think how these two morning Stars will sing for joy, in this their new and for ever blessed Conjunction.
