The orthodox evangelist. Or A treatise wherein many great evangelical truths (not a few whereof are much opposed and eclipsed in this perilous hour of the passion of the Gospel) are briefly discussed, cleared, and confirmed: as a further help, for the begetting, and establishing of the faith which is in Jesus. As also the state of the blessed, where; of the condition of their souls from the instant of their dissolution: and of their persons after their resurrection.

Neither is our Soul alone joined with the Soul of Christ alone,1 nor is our flesh alone joined with the flesh of Christ alone, but the whole person of every Believer, is joined with the whole person of Christ. See the Theses of Zanchy upon Eph. 5.32. treating largely and profitably of this subject. See Bucanus also to the same purpose; the whole person of every Believer, Soul and Body, is truly conjoined with the whole person of Christ.

- 1Neque anima nostra sola, cum sola Christi anima; neque caro nostra sola, cum sola Christi carne; sed tota cujusque fidelis persona, cum tota Christi persona, verè conjungitur, Zanchi. Imo tota cujusque fidelis persona, anima & corpore, cum tota per sona Christi verè conjungitur. Buc. loc. 48. quest. 110.
