A81727	Gospel-Glory proclaimed before the sonnes of men, in the visible and invisible worship of God. Wherein the mystery of God in Christ, and his royall, spirituall government over the soules and bodies of his saints, is clearly discovered, plainly asserted, and faithfully vindicated, against the deceiver and his servants, who endeavour the cessation thereof, upon what pretence soever. / By Edward Drapes, an unworthy servant in the gospell of Christ.

the_o excellency_n of_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n let_v we_o consider_v it_o under_o these_o consideration_n 1._o that_o by_o death_n he_o have_v conquer_v death_n and_o the_o devil_n for_o devil_n by_o death_n christ_n have_v conquete_v death_n and_o the_o devil_n it_o be_v impossible_a that_o he_o shall_v be_v hold_v of_o death_n therefore_o be_v it_o say_v he_o shall_v see_v corruption_n the_o gallant_a conqueror_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o the_o world_n when_o they_o die_v they_o cease_v to_o conquer_v any_o more_o but_o our_o jesus_n in_o die_v slay_v death_n and_o he_o that_o

the_o dead_a ascend_v first_o descend_v into_o the_o low_a part_n of_o the_o earth_n for_o he_o rise_v from_o the_o dead_a which_o resurrection_n of_o he_o have_v many_o glorious_a effect_n i_o shall_v only_o instance_n in_o two_o first_o it_o be_v the_o manifestation_n that_o he_o be_v none_o other_o but_o the_o resurrection_n the_o virtue_n of_o christ_n resurrection_n the_o true_a messiah_n the_o son_n of_o god_n this_o make_v the_o ruler_n acknowledge_v of_o a_o truth_n that_o he_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n second_o it_o be_v the_o assurance_n to_o the_o saint_n that_o he_o

like_a all_o have_v be_v in_o vain_a have_v he_o not_o rose_n from_o the_o dead_a death_n have_v conquer_v he_o now_o the_o true_a ground_n of_o our_o believe_v be_v his_o death_n that_o can_v not_o be_v hold_v of_o death_n by_o his_o rise_n he_o evident_o declare_v himself_o to_o be_v the_o lord_n christ_n even_o the_o same_o body_n that_o die_v rose_n from_o the_o dead_a who_o say_v behold_v my_o hand_n and_o my_o foot_n 3._o by_o death_n he_o ascend_v into_o heaven_n for_o he_o descend_v that_o he_o thereof_o christ_n ascension_n into_o heaven_n and_o the_o virtue_n thereof_o may_v ascend_v he_o ascend_v from_o the_o state_n of_o infamy_n shame_n and_o contempt_n far_o above_o all_o heaven_n into_o the_o state_n of_o glory_n of_o the_o high_a glory_n of_o god_n the_o fruit_n of_o who_o ascension_n be_v first_o the_o lead_a captivity_n captive_a the_o triumph_v over_o all_o our_o enemy_n even_o as_o a_o general_n that_o have_v conquer_v his_o enemy_n shall_v carry_v they_o

that_o he_o may_v fill_v all_o thing_n that_o be_v to_o say_v that_o all_o his_o might_n be_v fill_v with_o himself_o with_o the_o new_a wine_n of_o his_o spirit_n time_n will_v fail_v i_o to_o
