come_v unto_o a_o perfect_a man_n to_o the_o measure_n of_o the_o stature_n of_o the_o fullness_n of_o christ_n then_o whether_o body_n shall_v arise_v with_o the_o same_o deformity_n and_o defect_n which_o they_o have_v live_v as_o crooked_a lame_a blind_a or_o otherwise_o mutilation_n of_o member_n see_v christ_n arise_v with_o the_o same_o wound_n which_o he_o receive_v when_o his_o body_n

no_o certainty_n on_o it_o it_o may_v be_v sufficient_a for_o we_o to_o believe_v that_o the_o body_n of_o all_o man_n shall_v rise_v at_o the_o last_o day_n and_o stand_v at_o the_o tribunal_n of_o

christ_n jesus_n the_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n and_o the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o body_n it_o follow_v fit_o to_o believe_v the_o article_n that_o proper_o relate_v to_o god_n the_o father_n the_o life_n everlasting_a and_o it_o follow_v not_o only_o fit_o but_o very_o necessary_o for_o if_o we_o shall_v not_o add_v the_o life_n everlasting_a it_o may_v be_v think_v that_o our_o resurrection_n

can_v tell_v what_o become_v of_o they_o and_o so_o our_o belief_n shall_v cast_v anchor_n in_o a_o very_a unsafe_a harbour_n but_o now_o by_o add_v the_o life_n everlasting_a we_o make_v the_o

therefore_o the_o body_n be_v believe_v to_o be_v raise_v from_o the_o dead_a the_o life_n everlasting_a will_v be_v believe_v of_o course_n death_n indeed_o be_v a_o debt_n due_a to_o nature_n and_o a_o debt_n that_o nature_n look_v to_o have_v pay_v but_o yet_o nature_n be_v not_o so_o unjust_a to_o look_v that_o a_o debt_n shall_v be_v pay_v she_o more_o than_o once_o and_o therefore_o the_o body_n have_v pay_v the_o debt_n once_o by_o die_v once_o if_o it_o can_v get_v to_o rise_v again_o and_o live_v it_o will_v not_o be_v then_o in_o nature_n debt_n any_o more_o and_o therefore_o can_v

we_o can_v doubt_v of_o the_o immortality_n of_o the_o soul_n see_v the_o body_n can_v rise_v without_o the_o soul_n and_o if_o we_o believe_v the_o life_n everlasting_a we_o can_v but_o believe_v

forty_o day_n upon_o earth_n before_o he_o ascend_v in_o which_o time_n he_o appear_v nine_o time_n to_o his_o apostle_n and_o disciple_n but_o what_o need_v he_o to_o have_v stay_v forty_o day_n if_o
