miracle_n in_o raise_v of_o the_o dead_a but_o that_o be_v to_o much_o to_o restrain_v it_o only_o to_o that_o wherefore_o hereby_o be_v imply_v first_o a_o spiritual_a quicken_n from_o the_o death_n

of_o christ_n unto_o this_o as_o evidence_n and_o proof_n of_o what_o he_o be_v able_a to_o do_v at_o the_o last_o day_n even_o so_o etc._n etc._n herein_o be_v the_o equality_n as_o the_o father_n do_v raise_v up_o the_o dead_a so_o do_v the_o son_n who_o he_o will_n this_o be_v not_o speak_v to_o put_v a_o difference_n that_o the_o father_n do_v quicken_v some_o who_o he_o will_v and_o the_o

not_o concern_v the_o father_n but_o confess_v that_o he_o be_v able_a to_o raise_v up_o who_o he_o will_v wherefore_o this_o show_v first_o that_o there_o be_v no_o compulsive_a necessity_n in_o

to_o life_n everlasting_a such_o a_o raise_v as_o we_o believe_v in_o the_o creed_n the_o point_n than_o be_v that_o the_o work_n of_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n in_o quicken_a be_v one_o and_o

of_o creation_n thus_o the_o apostle_n when_o he_o will_v set_v forth_o the_o great_a power_n of_o god_n he_o allege_v this_o rom._n 4.17_o eph._n 1.19.20_o rom._n 1.4_o a_o work_n so_o great_a that_o
