3. The Resurrection of Christ is the cause of a two-fold resurrection in us. The first Resurrection is of the soul from the death of sin, to the life of grace, Eph. 2. 4, 5. Col. 2. 12, 13. Rom. 6. 4, 5. and this flows from his Resurrection. The second is of the body out of the grave, which is to be accomplished at the last Judgement: of which the Resurrection of Christ is both the cause and the pledge, 1 Cor 15. 20, 21, 22. Rom. 8. 11. 1 Thess. 4. 14. And a taste of this Christ gave in the resurrection of divers Saints, that appeared to many in Jerusalem immediately upon his Resurrection, Matth. 27. 52, 53.
