Behold now Father, this very skin which you see, and this very flesh which you see, shall be raised up again; and these very eyes which now are so dim, shall on that day see, and behold my dear and precious Redeemer; albeit the worms eat up my flesh, yet with these ⟨p. 103⟩eyes shall I behold God, even I my self, and not another for me.

53 Then she quoted Joh. 5.28. Marvel […] at this, for the hour is coming in which all that are in their Graves shall hear His voice, and come forth; those that have done good un•o the Resurrection of Life. See Father, I hall rise in that day, and then I shall behold my Redeemer; then shall He say, Come ye Blessed of my Father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you before the beginning of the World.
