Anima spiritualiter cadit & spiritua∣liter resurge••.
August.
SInce wee are sure that there is a spiritual death of the soul, let us make sure a spiritual resurrection too. Aud••cter dicam, saith St. Je∣rome, I say confidently however, God can do all things, hee cannot restore a Virgin that is ••a••n from it to Virginity again, hee cannot do this in the body, but God is a Spirit, and hath reserved more power upon
the spirit and soul, than upon the body: And therefore I may say with the same assurance that St. Je∣rome doth; no soul hath so prostitu∣ted her self, so multiplied her forni∣cations, but that God can make her a Virgin again, and give her even the chastity of Christ himself. Fulfill therefore what Christ saith, Joh. 5. 25. The hour is coming, and now is, &c. bee this that hour, bee-thy first re∣surrection; bless Gods present good∣ness for this now, and attend Gods leisure for the other resurrection hereafter; and then doubt not but what glory soever thou hast had in this world, glory inherited from noble Ancestors, glory acquired by merit and service, glory purchased by money, and observation, what glory of beauty, and proportion; what glory of health, and strength soever thou bast had in this house of clay; the glory of the latte•• house, as it is Hag. ••. 9. shall bee greater than of the former.
