He doth exactly state the method of Christ's procedure at the last Judgment, 1viz. That the first business which shall be then transacted, shall be the awakening and raising all the Saints of God out of their Graves, which from Adam, until that moment, have slept in the dust: The dead in Christ shall rise first; nothing shall be done, till that be done. The very first work Christ will do at his Coming, will be, to send forth his Angels with a great sound of a Trumpet, first to awaken the Elect out of their sleep; 2[Awake you that sleep in the dust;] and then to gather them from the four winds, from the one end of Heaven to the other; and when they shall have put on their Wedding garments, to conduct them in State and Triumph to meet with their Royal Bridegroom now come forth (more than half way) to meet them, and to consummate the Marriage which was long since Contracted in the day of their Espousals.
