A75693	An argument proving, that according to the covenant of eternal life revealed in the Scriptures, man may be translated from hence into that eternal life, without passing through death altho the humane nature of Christ himself could not be thus translated till he had passed through death.	Asgill, John, 1659-1738.	1700 (1700)	Wing A3926; ESTC R208477	45,123	107

of_o every_o man_n within_o any_o country_n do_v subject_v he_o to_o the_o law_n of_o that_o country_n be_v the_o law_n of_o all_o nation_n and_o without_o these_o concession_n there_o can_v be_v no_o law_n because_o else_o every_o man_n must_v have_v a_o particular_a law_n deliver_v he_o for_o himself_o which_o be_v a_o public_a inconvenience_n can_v be_v admit_v in_o the_o nature_n of_o law_n and_o thus_o this_o law_n of_o death_n fall_v upon_o christ_n himself_o as_o a_o descendant_n from_o the_o same_o common_a ancestor_n christ_n have_v two_o descent_n in_o his_o birth_n one_o be_v his_o natural_a descent_n from_o the_o virgin_n mary_n his_o real_a mother_n the_o other_o his_o legal_a descent_n from_o joseph_n his_o suppose_a father_n but_o in_o his_o genealogy_n set_v down_o by_o two_o evangelist_n this_o legal_a descent_n by_o joseph_n be_v only_o count_v upon_o without_o take_v any_o notice_n of_o his_o descent_n by_o his_o mother_n side_n because_o this_o descent_n by_o joseph_n be_v his_o legitimate_a descent_n according_a to_o that_o law_n which_o make_v all_o the_o issue_n of_o the_o woman_n bear_v during_o the_o coverture_n to_o be_v the_o issue_n of_o the_o husband_n although_o it_o be_v notorious_o know_v that_o in_o fact_n it_o be_v beget_v by_o another_o and_o this_o be_v our_o law_n at_o this_o day_n although_o the_o issue_n be_v bear_v but_o one_o day_n after_o the_o espousal_n and_o the_o canon_n law_n be_v much_o strong_a for_o that_o make_v the_o issue_n bear_v of_o the_o woman_n before_o marriage_n let_v they_o be_v beget_v by_o who_o she_o will_v unless_o by_o a_o former_a husband_n in_o wedlock_n to_o be_v the_o issue_n of_o the_o husband_n to_o who_o she_o be_v afterward_o marry_v and_o therefore_o christ_n have_v such_o a_o father-in-law_n as_o this_o his_o descent_n must_v be_v account_v from_o his_o father-in-law_n and_o not_o from_o his_o mother_n because_o all_o legal_a descent_n be_v account_v from_o the_o father_n and_o not_o from_o the_o mother_n when_o the_o eleven_o tribe_n be_v poll_v in_o the_o wilderness_n of_o sinai_n they_o give_v account_n of_o their_o pedigree_n after_o their_o family_n by_o the_o

his_o birth_n they_o must_v show_v a_o descent_n upon_o which_o the_o law_n may_v operate_v for_o as_o this_o be_v a_o law_n all_o proceed_n thereupon_o be_v according_a to_o law_n and_o hence_o it_o be_v observable_a that_o his_o be_v bear_v of_o a_o virgin_n espouse_v and_o not_o of_o a_o single_a virgin_n be_v not_o accidental_a but_o design_v for_o as_o it_o be_v necessary_a that_o he_o shall_v be_v bear_v of_o a_o pure_a virgin_n to_o preserve_v his_o nature_n from_o the_o defilement_n of_o the_o humanity_n so_o it_o be_v necessary_a that_o he_o shall_v be_v bear_v of_o a_o virgin_n espouse_v to_o derive_v upon_o himself_o the_o curse_n of_o the_o law_n by_o a_o legal_a father_n for_o which_o purpose_n it_o be_v necessary_a that_o the_o birth_n of_o christ_n shall_v in_o the_o term_n of_o the_o evangelist_n be_v on_o this_o wise_a and_o no_o otherwise_o and_o as_o this_o peculiar_a genealogy_n of_o christ_n be_v not_o accidental_a but_o design_v the_o quality_n of_o his_o

to_o be_v his_o superior_a for_o the_o lesser_a be_v bless_v of_o the_o great_a wherefore_o when_o abraham_n have_v rescue_v the_o plunder_n take_v from_o the_o sodomite_n he_o permit_v the_o young_a man_n that_o fight_v with_o he_o to_o eat_v and_o drink_v of_o the_o provision_n and_o his_o three_o confederate_n that_o assist_v he_o to_o take_v their_o portion_n of_o the_o good_n but_o for_o
