First, a promise of everlasting life.
Secondly, a promise of raising up at the last day.
First, a promise of everlasting life is made distinct from the other. Divines say, that before the raising up at the last day there is an everlasting life, that his soul shall live before the last day, and his body shall be raised up at the last day

Another Text is in Luke 16. 9. And I say unto you, make to your selves friends of the Mammon of unrighteousness, that when ye fail, they may receive you into everlasting habitations. Chemnitius makes great use of this Text to prove what I am now arguing for, that immediately after death, the soul of an Elect man is received into Heaven. Mark, make you friends of the Mammon of unrighteousness, that is, of your wealth, called so either because it is unrighteously gotten, or unrighteously kept; use your wealth well, that when you die you may be received into everlasting habitations. It is questionable whether it be referred to Angels, or to the poor which shall pray for us that we be received into Heaven; but saith Chemnitius, use your wealth well, that you may be received into everlasting habitations, upon your failing, upon dying the Lord receives the Elect into everlasting habitations. This Chemnitius doth build on, that the soul doth go to Heaven immediately after Death.
