It were easy to enlarge here, but, in a word, the sum of this Affirmative account is this, That the Saints who sleep in the Grave at Christ's coming, shall be so far from being made less happy, or later happy in the coming of Christ, than the Saints who then shall be found alive, that they shall be first remembered; the first care Christ will take when he comes in the Clouds, shall be not about the living, 1but the dead Saints, The dead in Christ shall rise first. They shall be the first Fruits of the Resurrection. They that have slept so long in their beds of dust, 2shall be first awakened, before any thing be done about them that never slept; They that were unclothed, and saw corruption in the Grave, must first have their bodies clothed upon with incorruption; ⟨p. 61⟩and then the surviving-Saints (at Christ's coming) shall be joined to them, that have for so many years and ages slept in Jesus. The dead in Christ shall rise first, and both be presented together before the Judge.
