Philippians3:11
Verſe 11. I might attain to the reſurrection] That is (by a metonymy of the ſubject for the adjunct) that perfection of holineſſe that accompanieth the eſtate of the reſurrection. True grace never aims at a pitch, but aſpireth to perfection. It is a low and unworthy ſtrain in ſome, to labour after no more grace then will keep life and ſoul together, that is, ſoul and hell aſunder (as one ſpeaketh.) But that man for heaven, and heaven for him, that [illegible: 1 letter]ets up for his mark, the reſurrection of the dead.
