1. It is Glory for Body and Soul; the Glory is so great we cannot utter it, and conceive it. Now a little is revealed to us, but then it shall be revealed in us. (1.) The Soul, is not annihilated after Death, nor doth it sleep till the Resurrection; nor is it detained by the way from immediate passing into Glory; but as soon as it is loosed from the Body, is admitted into God's Presence, and gathered unto the Souls of just Men made perfect; where it seeeth God, and loveth him, and enjoyeth what it seeth and loveth. For as soon as we are loosed from the Body, we are present with the Lord. And therefore t•e first benefit we receive in the other World, is the Salvation of the Soul. 1. Pet. 1.9. Receiving the end of your Faith, even the salvation of your Souls. It flitteth hence to God. (2.) The Body hath its glory also in due time. For when it is raised up out of the Grave, it will be another kind of Body, then we now have, both for Impassibility, Clarity, Agility. For Impassibility, called Incorruption; Clarity, called Glory; Agility, called Power; Subtlety, called a Spiritual Body, by the Apostle.
