The nets of salvation. A brief essay, upon the glorious designs & methods of…

Truly, Sirs, While we are Feeding our Body, our Soul Cries unto us, Oh! Tis of more Concernment, that I be fed with the Knowledge of Him, who is the Bread of Life! While we are Clothing our Body, our Soul Cries unto us, Oh! Tis of more Concernment, that I be Clothed with that Righteousness, which is the Garment of Salvation! While we are providing an House, wherein our Body, which is but the Clay-house ⟨p. 8⟩of the Soul, may be accommodated, our Soul pleads with us; Oh! Make sure of an House for me to inhabit, when the Earthly House of this Tabernacle shall be Dissolved, even an House Eternal in the Heavens. If the Soul be Holy & Happy▪ it must at last go well with the Body. For this Mortal Body shall then be at last Raised from the Dead, unto a Blessed Immortality; and it shall be the Fiery, Flying, Everlasting Chariot of the Soul, in the Heavenly Enjoyments of God If we look after nothing but the Body, we miss of our End about the Body it self; 'twill be impossible for us to keep the Body long from falling to pieces; but our Soul horribly perishes under the Eternal Wrath of God, whereinto our Sin hath cast our Soul, for want of looking after. It stands to Reason, That the welfare of the Soul is the main Chance that every man has to mind. Man, If thou wilt not mind thy Soul, claim no longer the Name of, A man!
