Christs eternal existence, and the dignity of his person asserted and proved in opposition…

1. Our relation to Christ, he is the head of the body, now the head will not live ⟨p. 156⟩gloriously in Heaven and leave his members behind him, under the power of death: Believers are called the fullness of him that filleth all things, Eph. 1.23. Head and Members make up one perfect Man or mystical Body, which is called the fullness of Christ, Eph. 4.13. Otherwise it would be a maimed Christ, or a Head without a Body, and therefore we should not doubt, but he will raise us up with him.

Secondly, The charge and office of Christ which he will attend upon and see that it be carefully performed, John 6.39. This is the Fathers will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but raise it up again at the last day: as none so nothing in the Prophets expression concerning the good Shepherd, not so much as a leg or a piece of an ear, that he should be careful to preserve every one who belongs to his charge, and what ever befalls them here, he is to see them forth coming at the last day, and to give a particular account of them to God. Now certainly Christ will be very careful to fulfil his charge and make good his office.
