It is Proposed unto you; That you; Spirits, at your Dissolution, shall put on the Garments of Light, ⟨p. 9⟩and enter into the Peace and Rest of an Heavenly Paradise: That your Bodies ere long, by a Resurrection shall be Restored unto your Spirits; but be the Lively, the Lovely, the most Agreeable and Everlasting Mansions for them: That you shall have a Joyful Portion in the City of God, and have His Marvellous Kindness forever doing unutterable Things for you, in that Strong City: There you shall at length be filled with all the Fullness of God, and have God become All in All unto you for ever and ever.
