This must needs be so, because all that are in Christ are equally justified by the imputation of Christ's Righteousness, without difference to them all, Rom. 3.22. Even the Righteousness of God which is by Faith of Jesus Christ unto all, and upon all them that believe, for there is no difference: By virtue whereof, they are all equally secured from Wrath to come, one as well as another: as all that sailed with Paul, so all that die in Christ come safe to the shore of Glory, and not one of them is lost. The sting of Death smites none that are in Christ.

Even the Righteousness of God which is by Faith of Iesus Christ unto all, and upon all them that believe, for there is no difference: By vertue whereof, they are all equally secured from Wrath to come, one as well as another: as all that sailed with Paul, so all that die in Christ come safe to the shoar of Glory, and not one of them is lost. The sting of Death smites none that are in Christ.

Secondly, There is no difference betwixt the departing Souls of just men, in respect of the supporting presence of God with them in that their hour of distress; that Promise belongs to them all, Psal. 91.15. I will be with him in trouble, and so doth that, Heb. 13.5. I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. Their God is certainly with them all, to order the Circumstances of their death, and all the Occurrences of that day, to his glory, and their good. Supports I have (said a good man in such an hour) though Suavities I want; and so they have also who meet with the hardest tug at death.
