Meditations on the glory of the heavenly world. I. On the happiness of the soul of believers, at the instant of their separation from their bodies. II. On the glory of the bodies of God's children, in the resurrection world, when they shall be as the angels of heaven. III. On the glory of both soul and body in the heaven of heavens, after the Day of Judgment, to all eternity. / By Increase Mather, D.D. ; [Six lines of quotations]

was a Person of more generosity and humanity than the Pope, for ⟨p. 168⟩when some urged him to cause Luther to be exhumated, he utterly refused it. But in England by the Instigation of the Popish Bishops, Bucer, and Fagius, two Learned Readers of Divinity in the University of Cambridge, were taken out of their Graves. Peter Martyr an Eminent Learned man, once belonging to the University in Oxford, left the Land on Queen Mary's Accession to the Throne, and so escaped their Rage; but by direction of the cruel Cardinal Pool, they caused Martyr's Wife, a godly and charitable Matron, to be taken out of her Grave after she had been dead two years, and to be laid in a dunghill; only she was honourably Re-interred in the Reign of Queen Elizabeth.

But what Confusion will take hold on them, when they shall see these holy Bodies glorified in the Resurrection World, and themselves the Subjects of shame and everlasting contempt?
