The Servants of God may rest assured, should Antichrist prevail against them unto death, their death should afford them an immediate passage unto happiness. And I heard a voice from heaven, saying unto me, Write, blessed are the dead which dye in the Lord, from hence-forth, yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours, and their works d•• follow them, Revel. 14.13. Christ is in the presence ⟨p. 337⟩of God, Heb. 9.24. Sits upon the Throne with his Father, Revel. 3.21. The Souls of the Saints departed are with Christ, Phil. 1.23. therefore the Souls of the Saints departed are in the presence of God.
