if_o not_o as_o a_o patient_n than_o not_o to_o suffer_v but_o only_o to_o triumph_v last_o if_o christ_n descend_v into_o hell_n to_o suffer_v why_o do_v not_o then_o his_o body_n descend_v aswell_o as_o his_o soul_n see_v our_o body_n aswell_o as_o our_o soul_n shall_v have_v suffer_v the_o pain_n of_o hell_n which_o can_v be_v object_v if_o we_o hold_v he_o descend_v into_o hell_n but_o only_o

be_v a_o agent_n shall_v be_v to_o go_v into_o hell_n to_o be_v revenge_v upon_o he_o as_o it_o be_v in_o hot_a blood_n and_o for_o his_o great_a disgrace_n to_o triumph_v over_o he_o within_o his_o

where_o we_o shall_v reign_v with_o christ_n for_o so_o saint_n john_n the_o evangelist_n in_o plain_a term_n deliver_v it_o and_o papias_n a_o bishop_n and_o a_o scholar_n of_o saint_n john_n who_o be_v likely_a to_o have_v learn_v the_o meaning_n of_o his_o word_n affirm_v more_o that_o it_o shall_v be_v lead_v here_o upon_o earth_n in_o all_o delight_n and_o pleasure_n both_o of_o body_n and_o mind_n and_o indeed_o most_o of_o the_o ancient_a father_n of_o that_o primitive_a time_n run_v together_o by_o a_o line_n in_o this_o exposition_n and_o yet_o by_o the_o late_a father_n be_v this_o opinion_n clean_o explode_v and_o the_o word_n of_o saint_n john_n expound_v in_o a_o far_o differ_v sense_n and_o not_o without_o cause_n for_o see_v it_o be_v true_o say_v that_o flesh_n and_o blood_n shall_v not_o enter_v into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n there_o be_v no_o likelihood_n that_o bodily_a or_o fleshly_a pleasure_n shall_v ever_o be_v allow_v to_o have_v place_n in_o that_o kingdom_n be_v it_o then_o that_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o new_a heaven_n and_o a_o new_a earth_n and_o then_o this_o life_n everlasting_a shall_v be_v lead_v and_o it_o be_v indeed_o most_o likely_a that_o as_o our_o body_n shall_v rise_v though_o in_o their_o old_a substance_n yet_o endue_v with_o new_a quality_n so_o heaven_n and_o earth_n where_o they_o be_v to_o abide_v shall_v suffer_v the_o like_a alteration_n that_o so_o there_o may_v be_v a_o correspondence_n between_o our_o body_n and_o they_o which_o can_v not_o be_v if_o the_o quality_n of_o heaven_n and_o earth_n be_v not_o aswell_o alter_v as_o of_o our_o body_n but_o when_o be_v it_o that_o this_o life_n everlasting_a shall_v begin_v indeed_o as_o soon_o as_o this_o momentary_a life_n shall_v end_v but_o yet_o but_o in_o part_n and_o therefore_o we_o believe_v the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o body_n first_o and_o then_o the_o life_n everlasting_a after_o because_o although_o the_o soul_n in_o its_o kind_n be_v live_v still_o yet_o till_o the_o body_n rise_v again_o there_o will_v be_v no_o perfect_a life_n and_o it_o be_v not_o intend_v that_o our_o life_n shall_v be_v everlasting_a in_o the_o imperfection_n of_o it_o which_o be_v the_o separation_n of_o the_o soul_n from_o the_o body_n but_o that_o the_o body_n rise_v again_o and_o join_v with_o the_o soul_n it_o shall_v then_o be_v everlasting_a and_o now_o my_o soul_n consider_v the_o difference_n of_o our_o future_a life_n from_o this_o that_o be_v present_a which_o shall_v be_v so_o much_o long_a than_o this_o as_o eternity_n than_o a_o moment_n and_o so_o much_o better_a than_o this_o as_o happiness_n then_o misery_n but_o wherein_o shall_v the_o happiness_n of_o our_o future_a life_n consist_v for_o if_o bodily_a pleasure_n be_v restrain_v there_o will_v want_v a_o great_a part_n of_o that_o which_o we_o now_o count_v happiness_n indeed_o bodily_a pleasure_n will_v be_v restained_a but_o not_o pleasure_n of_o the_o body_n but_o the_o body_n be_v raise_v up_o a_o spiritual_a body_n the_o pleasure_n also_o of_o the_o body_n shall_v be_v spiritual_a pleasure_n and_o how_o much_o the_o soul_n be_v better_a than_o the_o body_n how_o much_o the_o reason_n be_v better_a than_o the_o sense_n so_o much_o shall_v the_o pleasure_n of_o our_o future_a life_n be_v better_o than_o the_o pleasure_n of_o our_o present_a life_n and_o if_o this_o do_v not_o sufficient_o express_v the_o difference_n remember_v then_o how_o christ_n have_v express_v it_o that_o the_o pleasure_n of_o our_o future_a life_n shall_v be_v such_o as_o neither_o eye_n have_v see_v nor_o ear_n hear_v neither_o have_v it_o enter_v into_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n and_o by_o this_o certain_o we_o may_v well_o conceive_v the_o

word_n but_o vain_a yet_o in_o some_o sort_n perhaps_o we_o may_v conceive_v they_o for_o what_o eye_n have_v see_v the_o face_n of_o cherubin_n in_o their_o brightness_n what_o ear_n have_v hear_v the_o melody_n of_o angel_n in_o their_o sweetness_n but_o which_o be_v most_o of_o all_o into_o what_o heart_n of_o man_n have_v it_o enter_v what_o the_o glory_n of_o the_o almighty_a god_n be_v and_o what_o joy_n it_o will_v be_v to_o we_o to_o be_v admit_v into_o his_o bless_a presence_n o_o my_o soul_n these_o be_v pleasure_n which_o if_o we_o can_v apprehend_v will_v drive_v we_o into_o ecstasy_n at_o least_o will_v raise_v up_o our_o mind_n from_o grovel_v in_o the_o base_a pleasure_n of_o this_o vain_a world_n and_o who_o be_v they_o that_o shall_v be_v partaker_n of_o this_o life_n everlasting_a be_v they_o only_o the_o godly_a or_o as_o well_o also_o the_o wicked_a indeed_o as_o well_o the_o wicked_a as_o the_o godly_a but_o not_o the_o wicked_a so_o well_o as_o the_o
