of forgetfulness Isa 38.18 19. For the grave cannot praise thee death cannot celebrate thee they that goe down into the pit cannot hope for thy truth The living the living he shall praise thee as I do this day the Father to the Children shall make known thy truth Hence it is plain that during this Death Man is void of actual Being for had he then an incorruptible or present actual Being in glory he should be more capable of the praise and remembrance of the Lord then he was before he dyed Job 3. from the 11. to 20. Why dyed I not from the womb c. for now should I have lien still and been quiet I should have slept and then I should have been at rest as a hidden untimely birth I had not been as Infants that never saw light there the Prisoners rest together they heare not the voyce of the Oppressour Hence followeth that during this Death there is no more present Being to man then to an hidden abortive Embryo in this life and no more capability then light to unborn Infants nor more oppression or torment then where there is none to oppress which is to say He absolutely IS NOT Answerable to that of Jacob Me have ye bereaved of my children Joseph is not and Sime●n is not Gen. 42.36 to this adde Psal 146.2 Job 7.21 For now shall I sleepe in the dust and thou shalt seeke me in the Morning but I shall not be 2 Pet. 1.25 Isa 26.14 Psal 39.13 O spare me that I may recover strength before I goe hence and be no more Job 4.17 19 2O 21. Whose foundation is in the dust they perish for ever that is cease to Be till the resurrection Luke 20.37 38. Now that the dead are raised c. relating to Exod. 3.6 I am the God of Abraham c. From whence Christ proveth the resurrection But if Abraham Isaac c. had then lived in their souls it had been no Argument to prove the Resurrection for he had been the God of living souls Abraham Isaac and Jacob though there had been no resurrection Besides he saith all live unto him and this saying is ascribed unto the dead therefore as well may we argue from thence that they lived in their bodies as say they were dead in body but alive in soul unto God for it is impossible to be potentially and actually living at the same time Joh. 12.24 Except a corne of wheat fall into the ground and die it abideth alone but if it die it bringeth forth much fruit compared to 1 Cor. 15. Thou fool that which thou sowest is not quickened except it die Therefore the soul not dying as the Soularies fabulate nor falling into the ground must abide alone and cannot bring forth fruit at the Resurrection but must abide a bare soul without a body and the body having no life in it falling into the ground cannot die for both vegetative sensitive and rational life is ascribed to the soul but must likewise abide alone and cannot be quickned which is a flat denyal of the Resurrection yet though fundamentally the Soularies thus deny the Resurrection yet verbally they say there is a resurrection which must needs be a strange one and as ridiculous as strange stated after their Imagination For the soul not falling into the ground nor dying must needs abide alone therefore if the body be raised after their conception man would be divided into two immortalities and both alone one might be in the North the other in the South the soul in one place and the body in another yea the soul in Hell and the body in Heaven for the body by their grounds is as innocent from sin as the knife wherewith a man is stabed is free from murther and the soul as guilty of all sin as the murtherer is of the murther the Scripture condemneth the guilty saveth the innocent adjudgeth one for heaven and the other for hell O monstrous Resurrection I hope the Soulary Champions the Priests of the Church of England may be ashamed longer to assert the soul to have all life in it and the body to be but the souls instrument whereby it acts and moves and henceforth cease to delude and stop the mouthes of the people with a bare verbal Resurrection that the end of their faith may be sutable to Christ Jesus the foundation on which it is to be built both real and infallible John 11.43 44. And Jesus cryed with a lovd voyce Lazarus come forth and he that was dead four days vers 39. came forth bound hand and foot with grave-clothes c. If Lazarus soul were in heaven them four dayes he received dammage and not vantage by that Resurrection but it is idle to thinke that he which purchased heaven by his blood should fetch any out after they were in and once there it is impossible to come from thence for should they it were point-blank against the nature of his death who could not worke against himself no more then God can lye 1 Pet. 1.5 7 9 13. compared as Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto Salvation ready to be revealed in the Last time that the trial of your faith c. might be found unto Praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ receiving the end of your faith the salvation of your souls and hope to the end for the grace that is brought to you at the Revelation of Jesus Christ whence it is plain that the end of our faith the salvation of our souls is referred to the day of judgment And Luk. 21.28 then is our Redemption Rom. 8.23 our Adoption to wit the Redemption of our body one with that which Peter calls the salvation of our souls Act. 23.6 24.21 26.6 7. Paul maketh the end of all his hopes and faith to be onely in the Resurrection and 1 Cor. 15.18 saith If the dead rise not believers of all men are most miserable which could not be if they had souls which went presently into glory and the wicked had souls went into Torment though there were no Resurrection yea the day of Judgement throughout the whole World is made both the day of Salvation to the Righteous Rom. 2.16 1 Thes 1.5 7. 1 Pet. 1.5 9 13. 2 Pet. 3.7 Joh. 5.29 Mat. 25.34 Then shall he say Come ye blessed therefore not before then And the day of Condemnation to the wicked Rom. 25 9. 2 Thes 1.6 8 9. Job 21.30 Pro. 16.4 Acts 3.19 1 Pet. 1.10 Luk. 21.28 Joh. 5.29 Mat. 25.41 Then shall he say Depart c. therefore not before then Mat. 7.23 John 3.5 Except a man be born of water and the Spirit he cannot enter into the kingdome of heaven compared to Rom. 6.3 4 5. Know ye not that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death that like as Christ was raised
