2. The death of ungodly Men is sometimes in Scripture called a sleep, tho more seldom. The worst as well as the best, all Mankind in general, shall be raised at the last day. As death is common to all, so shall the Resurrection of the dead also be: Tho as there is a difference in their death, so shall there also be in their Resurrection; but because they shall awake, therefore to them death also is a sleep. Tho they had better to sleep on, than to awake and rise to be tormented. Dan. 12.2. And many of them that sleep in the dust of the Earth shall awake, some to everlasting Life, and some to Shame and Everlasting Contempt; Expressed by Christ in these words, John 5.28. All that are in their Graves shall hear his voice. 29. And shall come forth, they that have done good unto the Resurrection of Life, and they that have done evil to the Resurrection of Damnation.
