represented as coming from thence, and returning thither. And the encouragement be gave his disciples was that they should be with him. But every one may discern that to ascend from opposite sides of the earth is to go in opposite directions. There, also we are told, will be no sun nor moon; the Lord, who can give us here dreams as bright as day, can give us real and eternal light. God will destroy both the belly and meats. The body will arise spiritual, incorruptible, immortal, and fit for the society of pure spirits, when the earth shall have passed away. The identity of the parties in the judgment shall be clear. When this is over, the world, which bears the same relation to our future state, as scaffolding does to a building, will be removed, because when its purposes have been answered it will be useless. This spiritual state is the most excellent and that which alone is intended to be permanent.

JOB XI.

1 THEN answered Zophar the Naamathite, and said,

2 Should not the multitude of words be answered? and should a man full of talk be justified?

3 Should thy lies make men hold their peace? and, when thou mockest, shall no man make thee ashamed?

4 For thou hast said, My doctrine is pure, and I am clean in thine eyes.*

5 But oh that God would speak, and open his lips against thee;†

6 And that he would show thee the secrets of wisdom, that they are double to that which is! Know, therefore, that God exacteth of thee less than thine iniquity deserveth.
