Fourthly. If Jesus Christ be really united unto each believer, ⟨p. 86⟩by his Spirit; Then a believer shall never die again, spiritually die again. I have read of a Woman, that when her Husband was dead, she would eat and drink the ashes of her Husband; have his body burnt to ashes, and so eat and drink the ashes of her husband: and being asked the reason; because (says she) I mean to part with him no more: I have parted with him once already, when we were one; but now I will be made one with him in another way, and I will part no more with him. So, if Christ be in a Believer, really in a Believer, Christ really united unto each Believer by his Spirit; Then Christ and that Believer shall never part again, that Believer shall die no more: for the same Spirit that raised up Christ from the dead, dwelling in a Believer, shall also raise up a poor believer, yea though he fall into the grave of sin; he shall never die spiritually again upon this account.
