When Jesus Christ breathed out his blessed Soul into his Fathers bosom, it was in a […] of separation from his body, and that was a state of suffering. He went into […], in•o Paradise, into his Fathers bosom, in a separate, in a suffering ⟨p. 131⟩Estate. O how welcome was that blessed suffering Soul, hypostatically united to the Deity, when he came in Heaven! This blessed Soul was not long in this separate state, about forty hours, though part of three days and three nights. God suffered not his holy body, hypostatically united to the Deity, that lay dead in the grave to see the least touch of corruption. Yet hereby he sanctified this separate state of the Soul from the body unto, and for his Elect, whose bodies do see corruption, and whose duration and abiding in that separate estate, is of a far longer continuance, even until the day of Resurrection, and last Judgement. But Jesus Christ hath made it to be unto us an entrance into glory.
