that subject he begins with that of the Lord Christ his being risen of the truth whereof were many witnesses as is mentioned by him he taking knowledge of some amongst themselves that said there was to be no resurrection from the dead 1. Cor. 15. 12. contrary to the faith that was preached and beleeved and being a thing that did render the assertors of that truth as false witnesses which he makes good from the tising from death the Lord Christ laying very great stresse on that as a foundation and bottom on which the whole building stands he mentions it again ver 15. and argues from thence to the 20th verse to make out and clear that truth and then in vers 20. he concludes saying but now is Christ risen and become the first fruits of them that sleep so he calleth death This doctrine of the resurrection looketh backward and forward as it looketh backward it eyeth death which came by man to wit Adam as it looketh forward it eyeth living again by man to wit the man Christ our Lord as in vers 21. He is the blessed redeemer from the grave and the restorer to life again after death vers 22. As in Adam all die so in Christ shall all be made alive this It looketh backward and forward backward It eyeth Adam forward it relateth to the Lord Christ the new and second Adam as by the first Adam sin entred and death by sin as the effect following its cause Adam was forewarned and it was told him in the garden of Eden that in the day he did eat of the tree of knowledge of good and evel he should die he did notwithstanding take and eat he sinned and death seized on him by sin came death and it went over all Adam being the father of all the stock from whence man proceeded his sin or sin that entred by his disobedience was propagated and entailed to all his posteritie Rom. 5. 12. As by one man sin entered into the world and death by sin c. vers 17. By one mans offence death reigned by one In Adam all sin In Adam all die In the Lord Christ all shall be made alive the just and the unjust the righteous and the wicked all over whom death hath reigned all that dyed in Adam so is the paralel and proportion as and so all shall be made alive by the power of the Lord Christ the great conqueror of sin and death The matter is considerable as it relateth to the resurrection and rising again of the sons of Adam the argument or thing the Apostle was upon and it doth not meddle with that of election and faith or living by faith in a spiritual way neither may it be so understood or made use of without straining and forcing it to speak that the Apostle never intended In Christ shall all be made alive so as to rise and live again in the body There shall be a resurrection of the just and of the unjust some shall be made alive again to everlasting life Dan. 12. 2. And some to shame and everlasting contempt some shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord. c. 2. Thess 1. 9. They shall be bid depart ye workers of iniquity shall be bid go ye cursed c. Math. 25. 41. Whereas the just and righteous shall be gathered to the Lord Christ and be for ever with him 1. Thes. 4. 10. The Apostle argueth from the resurrection of the Lord Christ his rising again after his being crucified dead and buried he rose again It was said to the women that came to the sepulchre by an Angel Math. 28. 6. Luk. 24. 6. He is not here he is risen He was buried in the grave or sepulchre but he arose from thence and was not there he was dead but he is alive and liveth for evermore and hath the keys of death and the grave Rev. 1. 18. to open when he pleaseth and as he pleaseth Christ our Lord is risen from the dead a great saying and blessed Christ our Lord is risen from the dead and become the first-fruits of them that slept so death and lying in the grave is termed 1. Cor. 15. 20. our Lord saith John 5. 28. 29. The hour cometh when all that are in the graves shall hear his voice and shall come forth they that have done good to the resurrection of life and they that have done evil unto the resurrection of damnation Christ the first fruits there is very much in that he as conqueror of death as the captain and leader the beginner and finisher one that hath and ought to have the preheminence he being the beginning and first fruits from the dead that in all things he might have the preheminence Col. 1. 18. the Lord Christ as man is first and chief to him the preheminence belongs in all things for God the father hath highly advanced him and made him mighty Phil. 2. 9. As by man to wit Adam came death so by man namely the Lord Jesus very man and the son of man so he stiles himself came also the resurrection from the dead By the first man Adam came death by the second man the Lord Jesus Christ came the resurrection from death Alas for those sadduces that say there is no resurrection It is good for all the servants of God and lovers of the Lord Christ to be of like confession and belief with the Apostle Paul Acts. 24. 15. And have hope towards God that there shall be a resurrection from the dead both of the just and the unjust The power and vertue of the resurrection of the Lord Christ produceth great effects as to the one so to the other The forementioned words in vers 22. As in Adam all die so in Christ shall all be made a live are so full and plain as nothing can be said further there needs no dilating on them only keep to the thing in hand to wit death or dying and rising and living again after it As to that of all dying in Adam ask the many ages and generations that are past since Adam since God created man upon the earth ask what is become of the great potentates the mighty men the rich the wise the honorable yea the good and just men also and all free and bond and they will all beare witness in a real wise to this that in Adam all die they are all dead and gone they are all in their graves death hath gone over all as sin went before so death followed after all the sons of Adam as well as he himself have dyed only two or three excepted that dyed not but were translated In like manner and in way of parallel and proportion In Christ and by Christ shall all be made alive sooner or later not one of Adams sons excepted there is no reserve in the case all must arise all must appeare and give an account of the things they have done in the flesh whether good or
