that_o there_o be_v another_o state_n after_o this_o life_n wherein_o man_n shall_v be_v happy_a or_o miserable_a according_a as_o they_o have_v live_v in_o this_o world_n and_o this_o do_v not_o

by_o this_o argument_n direct_o and_o immediate_o to_o prove_v the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o body_n but_o only_o by_o consequence_n and_o as_o it_o follow_v from_o the_o admission_n of_o a_o

that_o it_o be_v the_o intention_n of_o our_o saviour_n direct_o and_o immediate_o to_o prove_v the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o body_n but_o only_o as_o i_o say_v before_o a_o future_a state_n and_o that_o this_o be_v all_o our_o saviour_n intend_v will_n more_o plain_o appear_v if_o we_o consider_v what_o that_o error_n of_o the_o sadducee_n be_v which_o our_o saviour_n here_o confute_v and_o

this_o argument_n against_o those_o with_o who_o our_o saviour_n dispute_v will_v further_o appear_v if_o we_o consider_v the_o great_a veneration_n which_o the_o jew_n in_o general_n have_v for_o the_o write_n of_o moses_n above_o any_o other_o book_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n which_o they_o especial_o the_o sadducee_n look_v upon_o only_a as_o explication_n and_o comment_n upon_o the_o

to_o be_v the_o true_a reason_n why_o our_o saviour_n choose_v to_o confute_v they_o out_o of_o moses_n rather_o than_o any_o other_o part_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n and_o not_o as_o many_o

the_o other_o book_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n which_o be_v also_o write_v but_o to_o oral_a tradition_n for_o he_o say_v express_o that_o the_o sadducee_n only_o receive_v the_o write_a law_n but_o the_o pharisee_n over_o and_o beside_o what_o be_v write_v receive_v the_o oral_n which_o they_o call_v tradition_n i_o deny_v not_o but_o that_o in_o the_o late_a prophet_n there_o be_v more_o

the_o dust_n of_o the_o earth_n shall_v awake_v some_o to_o everlasting_a life_n and_o some_o to_o shame_n and_o everlasting_a contempt_n and_o indeed_o it_o seem_v very_o plain_a that_o holy_a man_n among_o the_o jew_n towards_o the_o expiration_n of_o the_o legal_a dispensation_n have_v still_o clear_a and_o more_o express_a apprehension_n concern_v a_o future_a state_n than_o be_v to_o be_v
