Of the Resurrection.

As Adam by his breach of Gods com∣mandement brought a death to the grave

upon all men, even so by the Righteousness and obedience of Jesus Christ, he conquered death, and the grave, and so obtained a resurrection; Rom. 5.17, 18. 1 Cor. 15.21 Hosea 13.14. Heb. 2.14, 15. 1 Pet. 1.3.

The Dead shall Rise.

Though worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God; Job 19.26.

But God will redeem my Soul, from the power of the Grave; Psal. 49.15.

Thy Dead men shall live together, with my Dead body shall they arise; awake and sing, ye that dwell in the dust, for thy dew is as the dew of hearbs, and the earth shall cast out the Dead; Isa. 26.19.

Now that the Dead are raised, even Moses shewed at the bush, when he calleth the Lord, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; for he is not a God of the Dead but of the Living; Luke 20.37.

Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again, in the Resurrection at the last day; John 11.24.

The Pharisees confess there is a Resur∣rection of the Body from the Dead; Acts 23.8.

Now if Christ be preached, that he rose from the dead, how say some among you, that there is no Resurrection of the dead; 1 Cor. 15.12.

Others were tortured, not accepting delive∣rance, that they might obtain a better Re∣surrection; Heb. 11.35.

And God hath both raised up the Lord, and will also raise up us by his own power; 1 Cor. 6.14.

All shall be raised, both the just and the un∣just.

And many which sleep in the dust of the earth, shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame, and everlasting contempt; Dan. 12.2.

And before him shall be gathered all na∣tions, and he shall seperate one from another, as a Shepheard devideth his sheep from the Goats; Mat. 25.32.

Marvel not at this, for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voyce, and shall come forth, they that have done good unto the resurrection of life, and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation; John 5.28, 29.

And have hope towards God, which they themselves also allow, that there shall be a Re∣surrection of the dead, both of the just and un∣just; Acts 24.15.

And the Sea gave up the dead which were in it, and Death and Hell delivered up the dead which were in them, and they were judged every man according to their works; Revel. 20.13.

But some man will say, how are the dead raised, and with what body do they come; 1 Cor. 15.35.

Answ. The same body which men have here in this world, only they shall be changed.

Though worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God, whom I shall see for my self, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another, though my reins be consumed within me; Job 19.26, 27.

Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoyceth, my flesh also shall rest in hope, for thou wilt not leave my soul in Hell; Psal. 16.9, 10.

So also is the Resurrection of the dead, it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power, it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritu∣al body; 1 Cor. 15.42, 43, 44.

The reasons why the same body of flesh, shall rise again.

That every one may receive the things done in his body, that the same body may receive joy or punishment and not another body, according to the works done in the

flesh, whether they be good or bad; 2 Cor. 5.10.

It would be rediculous that any other bo∣dy should be crowned, then that which suf∣fered, or punished, then that same body which sinned.

Object. Flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdome of God; 1 Cor. 15.50.

Answ. By flesh and blood, is not meant simply of the body, but as it is clothed with sin, which is in Scripture called flesh, and indeed none living and dying, in that e∣state, can inherit Gods Kingdome; John 3.5, 6. Rom. 8.13. Gal. 5.19, 21. Ephes. 2.3. Gal. 6.8. Col. 2.11.

The order of the Resurrection.

The Saints shall rise first, but every man in his own order; Christ the first fruites, afterwards they that are Christs at his coming; 1 Cor. 15.23.

For the Lord himself shall descend from Heaven with a shoute with the voyce of the Arch-angel, and with the Trump of God, and the dead in Christ shall rise first, 1 Thes. 4.16.

And I saw Thrones, and they sate on them, and Judgement was given unto them; and I saw the Souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus,

and for the word of God— And they lived and raigned with Christ 1000 years.

But the rest of the Dead lived not a∣gain, until the 1000 years were finished; This is the first Resurrection; Revel. 20.4, 5.

Lastly, this Resurrection will be at the last day, at the personal appearing of Christ.

Whose eateth my flesh and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day; John 6.54.

In a moment, in the twinckling of an eye, at the last Trump; for the trumpet shall sound and the Dead shall be raised; 1 Cor 15.52.

For if we believe that Jesus dyed and rose again, even so them also, which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him; 1 Thes. 4.14.
