What though the flesh do return to dust, so the spirit do return to rest? what is the body of Adam for a soul to live in, to the bosom of Abraham for a Saint to lye in? Righteous Abel, the first Soldier in the Church Militant, was the first Saint in the Church Triumphant: He offered up a Sacrifice, when the Altar was sprinkled with his own blood. But as his body was the first that ever took possession of earth, so his soul was the first that ever had a translation to heaven. |

Righteous Abel, the First Soldier in the Church Militant, was the First Faint in the Church Triumphant: He offered up a Sacrifice, when the Altar was sprinkled with his own blood. But as his body was the First that ever took possession of earth, so his soul was the First that ever had a Translation to heaven. |
