When a good Christian takes a just Survey of all this, the Passage to the next World will not appear to be so rough and uncouth as is generally represented. What tho' his Body must die and turn to Dust, so long as he is in due time to receive it again Immortal and Glorious? Tho' it must be sown in Corruption, it shall one Day be rais'd in Incorruption; tho' 'tis sown in Dishonour, it shall be rais'd in Glory; tho' 'tis sown in Weakness, it shall be rais'd in Power; tho' 'tis sown a Natural Body, it shall be rais'd a Spiritual Body: This is our Victory, this is our Rejoycing.
John Isaac — John Isaac, The Christian Victory, a sermon preached at the funeral of the Honourable Elizabeth Noel, Parish Church of Exton, Rutland, November 1, 1715 (1715), p. 18
