2.23_o that_o he_o be_v take_v up_o in_o a_o fiery_a chariot_n by_o a_o whirlwind_n into_o heaven_n so_o great_a be_v his_o zeal_n for_o god_n and_o his_o glory_n and_o so_o high_o do_v god_n esteem_v it_o and_o he_o for_o it_o that_o he_o must_v not_o abide_v any_o long_o on_o earth_n but_o be_v take_v up_o into_o heaven_n and_o that_o in_o no_o other_o way_n but_o by_o a_o fiery_a chariot_n a_o passage_n to_o heaven_n that_o do_v bear_v some_o resemblance_n to_o his_o zeal_n for_o god_n while_o he_o be_v here_o on_o earth_n the_o apostle_n also_o tell_v we_o 1_o cor._n 15.51_o that_o at_o the_o last_o day_n we_o shall_v not_o all_o dye_n but_o we_o shall_v all_o be_v change_v and_o 1_o thes_n 4.17_o we_o that_o be_v alive_a and_o remain_v shall_v be_v catch_v up_o with_o he_o in_o the_o cloud_n to_o meet_v the_o lord_n and_o so_o shall_v we_o be_v ever_o with_o the_o lord_n these_o exception_n of_o some_o few_o that_o have_v not_o dye_v nor_o shall_v not_o die_v do_v not_o at_o all_o make_v void_a this_o general_a truth_n that_o all_o shall_v die_v but_o rather_o make_v for_o the_o confirmation_n of_o it_o the_o general_a rule_n or_o law_n say_v all_o must_v die_v none_o escape_v but_o by_o special_a grace_n or_o privilege_n and_o though_o the_o saint_n that_o shall_v be_v find_v on_o earth_n at_o the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o dead_a die_v not_o yet_o they_o shall_v undergo_v that_o which_o be_v equivalent_a unto_o death_n for_o they_o shall_v be_v change_v death_n be_v call_v a_o change_n so_o say_v job_n all_o the_o day_n of_o my_o appoint_a time_n will_v i_o wait_v till_o my_o change_n shall_v come_v and_o they_o that_o be_v alive_a at_o the_o last_o day_n undergo_v a_o change_n also_o the_o change_n of_o death_n be_v a_o put_v off_o of_o our_o

and_o hour_n know_v not_o man._n many_o a_o man_n have_v be_v mistake_v concern_v the_o purpose_n of_o god_n i_o say_v say_v david_n in_o my_o prosperity_n that_o i_o shall_v never_o be_v move_v but_o

of_o our_o death_n i_o say_v say_v hezekiah_n in_o the_o cut_n off_o of_o my_o day_n i_o shall_v go_v to_o the_o gate_n of_o the_o grave_a i_o shall_v not_o see_v the_o lord_n even_o the_o lord_n in_o the_o land_n of_o the_o live_n i_o shall_v no_o more_o behold_v man_n with_o the_o inhabitant_n of_o the_o world_n good_a hezekiah_n think_v there_o be_v no_o way_n for_o he_o to_o escape_v death_n but_o he_o be_v mistake_v for_o afterward_o he_o tell_v we_o god_n have_v in_o love_n to_o his_o soul_n deliver_v it_o from_o the_o pit_n of_o corruption_n and_o he_o live_v fifteen_o year_n long_o after_o he_o have_v give_v himself_o over_o for_o dead_a a_o man_n may_v have_v the_o sentence_n of_o death_n in_o himself_o when_o as_o to_o that_o particular_a time_n god_n have_v give_v out_o

because_o god_n have_v be_v bountiful_a to_o his_o body_n he_o have_v get_v a_o great_a stock_n of_o riches_n and_o he_o give_v himself_o a_o rich_a stock_n of_o time_n even_o many_o year_n he_o resolve_v to_o make_v his_o life_n large_a as_o he_o have_v do_v his_o barn_n and_o because_o they_o be_v full_a of_o corn_n he_o also_o will_v be_v full_a of_o day_n whereas_o the_o word_n come_v

till_o the_o next_o morning_n it_o be_v our_o wisdom_n always_o to_o be_v prepare_v for_o death_n but_o it_o be_v more_o than_o belong_v to_o we_o peremptory_o to_o determine_v the_o time_n of_o our_o

that_o it_o shall_v run_v no_o long_o than_o his_o appointment_n god_n speak_v after_o the_o manner_n of_o man_n be_v say_v in_o scripture_n to_o have_v a_o book_n wherein_o be_v write_v down_o not_o
