Being found in whom after Justification and Sanctification, he doubts not to be glorifi'd (by a figure of a part, Resurrection of the Body, for the whole) though he expresseth himself as one that must pass through difficulties e'er he attain not onely to a spiritual Resurrection from Sin, but a glorious one of the Body from the grave, even such an one, as will be an elevation or Ascension of the Body united to the Soul, not onely exempted from the grave, but exalted into the Air, to be for ever with the Lord, 1 Thess. 4.14, 17. from whom he was assured no death should separate him, Rom. 8.38, 39. 2 Tim. 4.8. who lived by faith in expectation of the time and the manner of it, 1 Cor. 15.14.19, 30, 32. 1 Pet. 1.6, 7. that he should be then compleatly holy in his measure as Christ himself is.
