improvements in virtue , the only rational preparative for happiness , as that they tffcaU enter upon the enjoyment of it in the next state . Others , who have proved incurable under the means which have been used with them in

all j hut , if not , they shall again , in some other form of existence , be put into a state of suffering and discipline , till at tength they are , in a wise and rational way , prepared for final and everlasting happiness" ( p . 281 , S 8 ^ f ) -, On the contrary , he maintains , in
regard to ** the righteous , " that they * ' will pass into that final dispensation ( in which God himself will be imme * diately all in & \\) , not hy dying agcnn 9 but probably in some way analogous to that in * which the believers that are
alive on the earth at Christ ' s second coming , shall pass into the resurrection state 5 upon which account their life and happiness may properly be said never to have an end * ' ( p . 263 ) in proof of which he refers to those
passages which speak of their notbeia ^ nurt by the second death , of their putting on in corruption and immortality , and especially to that declaration of Jesus that they can die rio nrifore . ( Rev . ii . 11 , i Cor . xv . 53 , 54 , Luke
xxr . 36—see p / 287 ) . Without entering into a discussion of ^ Dr .
