There is one word in this Verse, [[Greek or Hebrew], For this self-same thing God hath wrought us,] which serves us as a Clue of Thread drawn through the ⟨p. 266⟩Windings of the former Verses, to show us, that one and the same Individual Glory hath been carried on all along, and still is in this Verse also. So then we see where we are.

What this self-same thing should be, ask the first Verse, and it will tell you, it is that House eternal in the Heavens, a Building of God, prepared by him against the time that this earthly House is dissolved. Ask the second Verse, it is the same House we groan to be clothed upon with, when the other is pulled down. Ask the fourth Verse, and more plainly: It is that Life, which succeeds this mortal Life the Soul now lives in this Body, and swallows up all the Infirmities thereof. And then here it follows, Even for this self-same thing, &c. So then, if the Glory of the separate Soul be the Subject of any of these Verses, then of all, and so of this Verse also.
