Answ. 1. There is no more ground for such a ministration in this life, then there is for no death, no crying, no sorrow, no pain in this life, Rev. 21.4. no Sun, nor Moon, v. 23. no unclean thing, no sin, v. 27. and no more warrant for delivering up the Kingdom, in this life, 1 Cor. 15. then for the resurrection of the dead, 23.37. and the blowing of the last Trumpet, 52. and the swallowing up of death in victory, 55, 56, 57. as if all these should come to pass in this life agreeable to this, saith H. N. Evangel. ch. 35. see 9. In which resurrection of the dead, God showeth unto us that the time is now fulfilled, ⟨p. 288⟩that his dead, or the dead which are fallen asleep in the Lord, rise up in this day of his judgement and appear unto us in godly glory, which shall also henceforth live in us everlastingly with Christ, and reign upon the earth, wherein the Scripture cometh to be fulfilled in this present day. And Saltm. willeth these that are as spiritual as himself and his Familists, to believe this and receive it, that is, except, we make shipwreck of faith, and say the resurrection is past in this life, as did Hymeneus and Philetus, we are all legal literal men, and void of the Spirit.
