It had been ⟨p. 145⟩uncomfortable for him to have thought that he should have been stoned for Jesus Christ, and it must have been above 1600 years before Christ should have received his soul, but he prayed, Lord Jesus Christ receive my Soul, which he would not have done if he had not believed that his soul would have been received by Jesus Christ immediately after death.
Then againe, that Prayer of Stephen proves it likewise; in Acts 7.59. And they stoned Stephen, calling upon God, and saying, Lord Jesus receive my spirit. It had beene ⟨p. 145⟩uncomfortable for him to have thought that hee should have beene stoned for Jesus Christ, and it must have beene above 1600 yeares before Christ should have received his soule, but hee prayed, Lord Iesus Christ receive my Soule, which hee would not have done if hee had not believed that his soule would have beene received by Jesus Christ imediately after death.
