2. Saltmarsh is unwilling to contradict the truth of God, 1 Cor. 15.24. too openly, to wit, that in the end the Kingdom shall be delivered up: Now whether this be meant of Christs reigning no more in his Church in this life by Ordinances, or as Chrysostom doth expound the place, it be the rendering up to the Father his conqu•is•d and purchased people, as it is most agreeable to Eph. 5.27. I dispute not now, but Saltmarsh saith faintly, This is not only done on the whole body of Christ at the last, but also here. He dares not say this rendering up is not only at the last day, but also in this life; yet the Apostle is clear, he thought of no rendering up of the Kingdom in this life, as Saltmarsh by this new spirit supposeth, for the text is clear, v. 22.23. every man shall rise again from the dead, Christ first and then his members [Greek or Hebrew] Then is the end when he shall deliver up the Kingdom to the Father. Then there is no rendering up till the dead in Christ be raised, v. 23.24. but the dead in Christ in their bodies (of which undoubtedly the Apostle speaketh, 1 Cor. 15.1, 2, 3, 4, &c. do not rise in this life. 2. This rendering up, is not till the end, then shall the end be. 3. It is when all rule and authority shall be put down, v. 27. This is not in this life. 4. It is when, the last enemy shall be subdued, 26. 5. When God shall be all in all, 28. These are not in this life, therefore Saltm. dreams.
