Object. 5. He that is blessed and happy before the resurrection, is not without the resurrection most miserable: But we, without the resurrection, should be of all men most miserable; If in this life only we have hope, we are of all men most miserable: 1Therefore we are not before the resurrection blessed and happy. Ans. to the Major. He is not miserable without the resurrection, who can, not only before it, but without it also, be blessed: But we are in such wise blessed before it, that notwithstanding without it following and ensuing, we cannot enjoy that former blessedness; because God hath joined with so inseparable a knot the beginning, and proceeding, and finishing or perfection of the elects blessedness, that none can have the beginning, who must not come to the end and consummation thereof. Wherefore, either we must rise again, or we must want also that celestial blessedness before the resurrection. If the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead, dwell in you: 2he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies.
