Argument III.
IT may greatly prevail upon the Will and Resolution of a Believer to adventure boldly and cheerfully upon Death, that our Bodies, of which we are bereaved and deprived by death, shall be most certainly, and advantageously restored to us by the Resurrection. The Resurrection of the Dead, ⟨p. 312⟩is the encouragement and consolation of the dying. The more our Faith is established in the Doctrine of the Resurrection, the more we shall surmount the fears of dissolution. If Paul urged it as an Argument to reconcile Philemon to his Servant Onesimus, v. 15. That he therefore departed for a season, that Philemon might receive him for ever: the same Argument may reconcile every Believer to death, and take off the prejudice of the Soul against it. You shall surely receive your Bodies again, and enjoy them for ever.
