Because after the parting of the Soul from the body,1 and the dissolution of the whole, Gods peremptory Sentence is passed, and the final doom of the Soul is determined a Sentence never to be revoked, a judgement never to be repealed, and therefore the sinner becomes irrevocably either miserable or happy, Heb. 9. 27. It is appointed for all men once to die, and after death comes judgement. Death and Judgement are coupled immediately one to another: the end of the one, is the entrance of the other; as Death leaves us, so Judgement will find us: Though the full and complete execution of the Sentence is deferred until the great day of accounts, yet condemnation seizeth upon each part as soon as they be severed the one from the other, if they do deserve: The body is imprisoned in the dungeon of the grave, and the Soul (of him […] is wicked) is taken instantly and dragged by the Devils into torment, Luke, 12. 20. This night shall they fetch away […] Soul.
