In this first verse of this fifth Chapter, he meets with this Supposition: But what if this outward Man or earthly Tabernacle be wholly dissolved and pulled down, what then shall become of this inner Man? And he resolves it thus, That if it be dissolved, we have an House, a Building of ⟨p. 261⟩God in the Heavens. And what is the [We] but this inner Man (he had spoken of) renewed Souls, which dwell now in the Body as in a Tabernacle, as the Inmates that can subsist without it? And it is as if he had said, If this inward Man be destituted of one House, we have another. God that in this Life was so careful over this inner Man, to renew it every day, hath made another more ample provision against this great Change. It is but its removing from one House to a better, which God hath built. As your selves (to speak in your own Language) if Wars should beset you, and your Country-House were plundered and pulled down, you would comfort your selves with this, I have yet a City-House to retire unto.
