Of a Godly Man, we read, Rev. 14.13 He is Blessed, and he does Rest. His Death deals by him, as the Wretches did by the Young Man in the Gospel; Catch the Garment; the Person does Escape. So the Relation must proceed, concerning the Spirit of a Godly Man, And he Died: But when his Body is Dead because of Sin, his Spirit is Alive because of Righteousness: His Renewed Soul puts on the Garments of Light: It fell into the Company of Holy Angels; and in the Paradise of God, it keeps Joyfully Feeding on its Tree of Life; Joyfully looking for the Appearance of the Great GOD our Saviour, when its Felicity will be Perfected, in the Raised and New Body to be bestowed upon it.

If these be the Consequences, Oh! What Preparation is to be Endeavoured?
And what is it that will Prepare us for Death; for Blessedness at our Death?
