THE Immortality of the Souls of Men may be concluded from the Promises of everlasting Blessedness, and the Threatenings of everlasting miseries respectively made in the Scriptures of truth, to the Godly and ungodly, after this Life; which Promises and Threatenings had been altogether vain and delusory, if our Souls perish with our Bodies.

1. First, God hath made many everlasting Promises of Blessedness, yea he hath established an everlasting Covenant, betwixt himself and the Souls of the Righteous; promising to be their God for ever, and to bestow endless Blessedness upon them in the World to come. Such a Promise is that, John 8.28. I give unto them eternal life, and they shall never perish. And John 4.14. Whosoever drinketh of the Water that I shall give him, shall never thirst; but the Water that I shall give him, shall be in him a Well of Water, springing ⟨p. 99⟩up into everlasting life. And again, John 11.26. Whosoever liveth and believeth in me, shall never dye. And once more, Rom. 2.7. To them who by patient continuance in well doing, seek for Glory and Honour, and Immortality, eternal Life: with multitudes more of like nature.
