Resp. If we have a part in the first Resurrection, Rev. 20.6. Blessed is he that hath a part in the first Resurrection. Quest. What is meant by this? Answ. It is a rising by Repentance out of the Grave of Sin: He who lies buried in sin, can have little hope of a joyful Resurrection: His Body shall be raised, but not in Glory. O then ask Conscience, Have you a part in the first Resurrection? Hath the Spirit entered into you, and lifted you up? Hath it raised you out of your Unbelief? Hath it raised your Hearts above the Earth? This is the first Resurrection; and if your Souls are thus Spiritually raised, then your Bodies shall be gloriously raised; and shall shine as Stars in the Kingdom of Heaven. Regeneration makes way for a glorious Resurrection.

Shall a thievish Body steal into Heaven? O keep your Bodies pure: Keep your Eyes from unchaste Glances; your Hands from Bribes; your Tongues from Slander: Defile not your Bodies which you hope shall rise one day to Glory. Your Bodies are the Members of Christ; and hear what the Apostle saith,
