§.
I come (2.) to the Argumentation it self, which ariseth out of these things laid together. (1.) That the Soul is the immediate Subject of Grace. (2.) The first and Primitive Susceptive thereof. (3) And it self is alone and immediately capable of Glory, which Grace is a preparation to. And (4.) that God afore our deaths hath wrought all of Grace he intends to work, in preparation to Glory. Out of all these a strong Argument doth arise, That such a Soul upon death shall be admitted unto Glory; and not be put to stay till the time of the Resurrection, when both Soul and Body shall be joined again together. And that this holdeth a just and meet conveniency upon each, or at least, all these grounds, when put together.
