Christ's certain and sudden appearance to judgment

and how will the body delight in the wonderful glories and shining excellencies which the soul hath attained since its separation? If the love between the soul and the body were so great, when the body was so vile, and the soul so sinful, what will it be when both are glorified? If the conjunction between the soul and body were so sweet when the body was so frail and subject to death, and the soul a spiritual and never-dying substance, what vvill it be when the body shall be made immortal, and in some sort spiritual? O with what pleasure will the body awake out of its long sleep and arise and shake off its dust, and put on its beautiful garments of immortality and glory? with what delight and joy will it first open its eyes upon those beautiful and glorious objects which vvill quickly present themselves to its view? Thus concerning the resurrection of the righteous bodies.

He shall send his Angels with the great sound of a Trumpet, and they shall gather the Elect from the four winds, from one end of Heaven to the other: no sooner are they awakened and risen out of their Graves, but they are entertained by Angels, those holy and excellent creatures, who have such a dear love to them, and before have done many good offices for them, though, when before in the body, they did not perceive it, and were too low, and unfit for their acquaintance: but they will then know them, and be able to discern the beauty of those lovely spirits who for so many years have been beholding the face of their Father in heaven, which will have cast such a lustre upon them that will be matter of their admiration; and these shall be part of their acquaintance and companions in glory: instead of Devils, those Angels of darkness, which used to assault, buffet and molest them, when in the body before; they shall now have Angels of light with them, and about them to join together in the Love and praise of the great Jehovah.
