Evidence 1. First, If you are regenerated Creatures, brought forth in a new nature to God, for we are begotten again to a lively hope, by the Resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. Christs Resurrection is the ground-work of our hope. And the new birth is our title or evidence of our interest in it. So that until our souls are partakers of the spiritual Resurrection from the death of sin, we can have no assurance our bodies shall be partakers of that blessed Resurrection to life.

Blessed and holy (saith the Spirit) is he that hath part in the first Resurrection, on such the second death hath no power, Rev. 20.6. Never let unregenerated souls expect a comfortable meeting with their bodies again. Rise they shall by Gods terrible Citation, at the sound of the last trump; but not to the same end that the Saints arise, nor by the same principle. They to whom the spirit is now a principle of Sanctification, to them he will be the principle of a joyful Resurrection. See then that you get gracious souls now, or never expect glorious bodies then.
