And it hath another force, that is, put case the worst, I received the sentence of death, that is, if I die, as I look for no other, yet I trust that God that raiseth the dead, he will raise me: the confidence of the resurrection makes 1me die comfortably. As we sleep quietly, because we hope to rise again, and we put our seed into the ground, with comfort, why? we hope to receive it in a more glorious manner in the harvest: so though my body be ⟨p. 167⟩sown in the earth, it shall rise a glorious body; I trust in God, though I receive the sentence of death, yet I shall sleep in the Lord, as when I go to sleep, I hope to rise again: so I trust when the resurrection shall come, that my body shall waken, and arise. I trust in God that raiseth the dead; because he raiseth the dead, he can recover me if he will: if not, he will make this body, a glorious body afterward: so every way it was a strong argument with Saint Paul, I trust in God that raiseth the dead.
