Chapter 31: Of the state of Man after Death, and of the Resurrection of the Dead

The Bodies of men after death return to dust, and see corruption, but their souls (which neither die nor sleep) having an immortal subsistence, immediately return to God who gave them, the souls of the righteous being then made perfect in holiness, are received into the highest Heavens, where they behold the face of God in light and glory, waiting for the full redemption of their bodies: And the souls of the wicked are cast into Hell, where they remain in torment and utter darkness, reserved to the Judgement of the great day: Besides these two places for souls separated from their bodies, the Scripture acknowledgeth none.
