VII. A dead Man is loathsome, and fit for nothing but to be put under Ground, or buried out of sight: So the Wicked are loathsome in God's sight, and unless the sooner quickened, they will be good for nothing but to be cast into Hell; some wicked Men are fit to be buried, or thrown into that Grave.

Object. It is by some objected, That there is a wide Difference between Death natural and spiritual: In Death natural, the Soul it self is utterly removed and taken away from the Body, but in Death spiritual it continues: a Man is still, notwithstanding this spiritual Death, endowed with an Understanding, Will, and Affections, by which these Men are enabled to perform their Duties to God.
Answ. 1. In Life spiritual, the Soul is unto the Principle of it, as the Body is unto the Soul in Life natural:1 For in Life natural, the Soul is the quickening Principle, and the Body is the Principle quickened; when the Soul departs, it leaves the Body with all its own natural Properties, but utterly deprived of them which it had by virtue of its Union with the Soul: So in Life spiritual, the Soul is not, in and by its essential Properties, the quickening Principle of it, but it is the Principle that ⟨p. 229⟩is quickened: and when the quickening Principle of spiritual Life departs, it leaves the Soul with all its natural Properties entire as to their Essence, tho mortally corrupted, (which is equivalent with Death natural); but of all the Power and Abilities, which it had by virtue of its Union with a quickening Principle of spiritual Life, it is deprived. And to deny there is such a quickening Principle of Life spiritual, superadded unto us by the Grace of God, distinct and separate from the natural Faculties of the Soul, is upon the matter to renounce the whole Gospel; it is all one as to deny, that Adam was created in the Image of God, which he lost; or that Sinners are spiritually dead in Sins and Trespasses; and that we are renewed into the Image of God by Jesus Christ.
