we_o have_v and_o when_o we_o be_v to_o demand_v this_o or_o that_o how_o shall_v we_o look_v back_o to_o this_o gospel_n seal_v unto_o we_o in_o baptism_n and_o see_v baptism_n be_v but_o a_o seal_n

you_o must_v not_o go_v from_o he_o in_o who_o you_o bave_v be_v raise_v up_o to_o a_o new_a heavenly_a life_n but_o in_o christ_n you_o be_v raise_v up_o therefore_o let_v none_o beguile_v you_o with_o deceit_n which_o be_v not_o after_o he_o the_o second_o part_n be_v here_o the_o conclusion_n in_o the_o eight_o verse_n before_o doctr._n observe_v hence_o that_o to_o consider_v of_o our_o

never_o die_v again_o when_o the_o galathian_o be_v so_o fledge_a after_o their_o legal_a ceremony_n saint_n paul_n thus_o reason_v do_v you_o receive_v the_o spirit_n by_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o

how_o then_o be_v christ_n to_o be_v rest_v on_o from_o who_o as_o the_o fountain_n all_o spiritual_a life_n flow_v unto_o we_o now_o our_o resurrection_n may_v be_v consider_v two_o way_n 1_o as_o

our_o parent_n in_o who_o we_o be_v seminali_fw-la ratione_fw-la as_o a_o ear_n of_o corn_n be_v in_o the_o seed_n second_o our_o life_n may_v be_v consider_v as_o now_o in_o we_o receive_v from_o they_o now_o when_o they_o be_v say_v to_o be_v raise_v up_o in_o christ_n it_o may_v be_v understand_v both_o way_n both_o in_o regard_n of_o their_o resurrection_n as_o it_o be_v make_v in_o

hide_v in_o he_o even_o the_o resurrection_n of_o our_o body_n we_o may_v hence_o then_o see_v what_o make_v the_o papist_n use_v and_o all_o sort_n of_o carnal_a gospeler_n so_o fall_v from_o christ_n even_o this_o they_o know_v not_o or_o consider_v not_o who_o when_o they_o be_v dead_a in_o their_o sin_n do_v raise_v they_o up_o if_o they_o ever_o have_v feel_v that_o christ_n have_v do_v thus_o much_o for_o they_o they_o will_v never_o doubt_v his_o alsufficiency_n but_o wait_v upon_o he_o to_o accomplish_v their_o salvation_n we_o see_v in_o patient_n which_o have_v deadly_a sickness_n if_o a_o physician_n do_v when_o they_o be_v give_v over_o even_o then_o rid_v their_o disease_n away_o in_o part_n and_o make_v they_o pretty_a well_o will_v they_o think_v of_o look_v to_o another_o or_o be_v desirous_a to_o join_v other_o with_o he_o who_o have_v alone_o almost_o do_v all_o the_o cure_n so_o between_o our_o soul_n and_o christ_n let_v we_o then_o consider_v what_o we_o have_v have_v wrought_v in_o we_o through_o christ_n use_v it_o will_v so_o confirm_v we_o that_o hell_n gate_n shall_v not_o make_v we_o leave_v he_o again_o if_o thou_o work_v not_o upon_o thy_o heart_n the_o feel_n of_o the_o benefit_n thou_o have_v through_o he_o thou_o shall_v cleave_v as_o weak_o by_o he_o as_o if_o he_o have_v never_o do_v aught_o for_o thou_o here_o in_o particular_a be_v three_o thing_n to_o be_v open_v 1_o that_o who_o so_o be_v true_o in_o christ_n be_v rise_v again_o 2_o that_o our_o soul_n be_v raise_v from_o death_n to_o life_n by_o faith_n 3_o that_o the_o omnipotent_a power_n of_o god_n be_v the_o worker_n of_o faith_n of_o each_o of_o these_o a_o little_a 1_o as_o adam_n be_v a_o root_n of_o death_n to_o all_o that_o be_v he_o neither_o be_v they_o bear_v of_o he_o soon_o than_o mortality_n do_v seize_v on_o they_o so_o christ_n be_v a_o root_n of_o resurrection_n 1_o cor._n 15.22_o as_o in_o adam_n all_o dye_n so_o in_o christ_n shall_v all_o be_v make_v alive_a for_o we_o must_v not_o think_v that_o when_o christ_n be_v raise_v it_o be_v no_o more_o than_o when_o lazarus_n or_o some_o other_o private_a person_n be_v raise_v but_o his_o rise_n be_v all_o our_o resurrection_n in_o as_o much_o as_o it_o
be_v in_o the_o name_n of_o we_o all_o and_o have_v in_o it_o a_o seed-like_a virtue_n to_o work_v the_o resurrection_n of_o we_o all_o hence_o it_o come_v that_o we_o no_o soon_o come_v to_o be_v in_o he_o but_o the_o power_n of_o his_o resurrection_n be_v feel_v of_o we_o make_v we_o rise_v to_o newness_n of_o life_n 5.17_o 2_o cor._n 5.17_o in_o christ_n all_o thing_n be_v new_a whosoever_o have_v learned_a christ_n as_o the_o truth_n be_v in_o he_o have_v so_o learn_v he_o as_o they_o be_v dead_a to_o sin_n the_o life_n of_o the_o old_a man_n be_v kill_v and_o they_o be_v alive_a in_o the_o life_n of_o grace_n for_o look_v as_o a_o member_n true_o by_o inward_a ligament_n knit_v with_o a_o live_a head_n have_v life_n in_o it_o so_o we_o when_o we_o come_v to_o be_v in_o christ_n raise_v up_o and_o live_v to_o god_n in_o life_n glorious_a we_o can_v but_o live_v in_o he_o wherefore_o how_o woeful_a be_v the_o state_n of_o many_o that_o profess_v christ_n yet_o live_v in_o ignorance_n use_v know_v not_o what_o a_o resurrection_n mean_v be_v dead_a while_o they_o live_v in_o all_o kind_n of_o fin_n and_o wantonness_n these_o never_o be_v in_o christ_n but_o like_a as_o

on_o christ_n we_o be_v say_v to_o live_v by_o faith_n because_o after_o some_o sort_n it_o be_v life_n but_o most_o proper_o it_o bring_v life_n into_o we_o he_o that_o believe_v have_v everlasting_a life_n full_o in_o christ_n his_o head_n inchoative_a or_o imperfect_o in_o himself_o for_o as_o in_o bodily_a death_n the_o reunite_a of_o the_o soul_n with_o it_o do_v make_v it_o rise_v again_o and_o become_v a_o live_a body_n so_o faith_n as_o a_o spiritual_a vinculum_fw-la tie_v god_n who_o be_v the_o soul_n of_o our_o soul_n again_o unto_o they_o they_o which_o before_o be_v dead_a be_v

up_o though_o further_a faith_n itself_o may_v be_v conceive_v as_o a_o part_n of_o this_o life_n for_o as_o the_o soul_n die_v in_o fall_v into_o ignorance_n of_o god_n estrange_v from_o the_o life_n of_o god_n through_o ignorance_n in_o they_o ephes_n 4.18_o so_o come_v by_o faith_n to_o know_v god_n it_o begin_v to_o live_v 17.3_o joh._n 17.3_o hence_o to_o know_v god_n in_o christ_n faith_n

faith_n towards_o christ_n the_o reason_n be_v plain_a a_o true_a faith_n bring_v christ_n to_o live_v in_o we_o now_o as_o a_o quicken_a soul_n can_v return_v into_o the_o dead_a body_n of_o it_o but_o there_o will_v be_v new_a life_n so_o christ_n that_o quicken_a spirit_n can_v return_v to_o live_v in_o a_o dead_a soul_n but_o needs_o it_o must_v be_v raise_v up_o wherefore_o if_o we_o
