Daniel12:2

Ver. 2. And many of them that ſleep in the duſt] Many for all, as Rom. 5.18, 19. theſe are ſaid to ſleep, which denoteth the immortality of the ſoul, and the reſurrection of the body.The ſoul liveth in the ſleep of death, as it doth in the ſleep of the body in this life. And this the poor Jews, when to loſe land and life for the truth, are here ſeaſonably and plainly told of (amidſt other things that are but darkly delivered) to bear up their ſinking ſpirits. Awake they ſhall as out of a ſweet ſleep, thoſe that are good, and then be full of Gods Image, Pſal. 17. [illegible: 1 letter]it. The wicked alſo ſhall come forth, but by another principle, and for another purpoſe: they ſhall come out of their graves, like filthy roads againſt this terrible ſtorm, &c.

Some to everlaſting life] Which is here firſt mentioned in the old Teſtament. See Matth. 25.45. Joh. 5.29.

And ſome to ſhame and everlaſting contempt] Chriſt ſhall ſhame them in that ample Amphitheatre, and doom them to eternal deſtruction. Graeviſſima paenarum pudor eſt, ſaith Chryſoſtom. Oh when Chriſt ſhall upbraid reprobates and ſay, Ego vos pavi, lavi, veſtivi, &c. which way will they look? or who ſhall ſay for them? They ſhall look then upon him whom they have pierced and lament, [non-Latin text not transcribed]. but all too late: they ſhall be ſore aſhamed of their ſinful practiſes which ſhall all be written in their foreheads: and this ſhall be as a bodkin at their hearts, that ever they turned their backs upon Chriſts bleeding embracements, whilſt they refuſed to be reformed, hated to be healed.
