But others conceive, that the Saints whom Christ his coming shall find in the body, 1shall suffer only some thing analogical to death; and to this opinion our faith must needs subscribe, the Holy Ghost bearing witness to it, in the mouth of the Apostle in the 15th. Chapter to the Corinthians, 2We shall not all sleep, i. e. all shall not dye, in a literal sense: 3what then? but we shall all dye, or be changed, i. e. they that dye not, must be changed; All must either dye, or be changed; 4they that do not sleep, must suffer a mutation that shall bear some proportion to death, Verse 50 whereby the corruption of their nature must be abolished; for flesh and blood cannot inherit the Kingdom of God, neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. The body as it is corruptible, much less, as it is sinful, is not capable of glory; there must a refining change pass upon it; they must put off their Rags of mortality, before they put on the Robes of Glory; and this must be done.
