soul_n be_v bury_v when_o it_o please_v god_n to_o fetch_v it_o from_o thence_o it_o be_v not_o as_o though_o he_o shall_v make_v it_o come_v forth_o of_o the_o grave_n and_o raise_v it_o up_o again_o what_o be_v the_o occasion_n then_o that_o man_n may_v have_v to_o fly_v from_o this_o corporal_a death_n and_o to_o have_v it_o in_o such_o horror_n see_v that_o separate_n the_o soul_n from_o the_o

with_o he_o and_o with_o all_o the_o happy_a soul_n the_o eternal_a comfort_n promise_v and_o reserve_v for_o the_o elect_a people_n of_o god_n the_o body_n on_o the_o other_o side_n liethe_v in_o

which_o quicken_v all_o thing_n it_o be_v not_o altogether_o void_a of_o life_n as_o saint_n paul_n say_v if_o the_o spirit_n of_o he_o which_o raise_v jesus_n christ_n up_o from_o the_o dead_a dwell_v within_o you_o he_o also_o which_o have_v raise_v he_o up_o shall_v also_o quicken_v your_o mortal_a body_n because_o of_o his_o spirit_n which_o dwell_v in_o you_o this_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o in_o another_o place_n draw_v out_o unto_o we_o the_o portraiture_n of_o the_o resurrection_n of_o our_o body_n to_o come_v he_o bring_v in_o a_o example_n of_o the_o seed_n which_o be_v cast_v

evident_a token_n the_o life_n that_o be_v hide_v in_o it_o before_o it_o be_v cast_v in_o the_o earth_n so_o god_n in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n 22._o cale_v himself_o the_o god_n of_o abraham_n long_a time_n after_o abraham_n death_n and_o say_v that_o he_o be_v not_o the_o god_n of_o the_o dead_a but_o of_o the_o live_n then_o it_o follow_v that_o not_o only_o the_o soul_n of_o abraham_n which_o he_o redeem_v by_o the_o death_n of_o his_o son_n be_v yet_o live_v since_o it_o have_v be_v separate_v from_o the_o body_n but_o that_o the_o body_n which_o be_v partaker_n of_o the_o same_o

3._o therein_o as_o in_o his_o holy_a temple_n be_v not_o clean_o without_o life_n although_o it_o be_v putrify_v in_o the_o bowel_n of_o the_o earth_n for_o so_o much_o as_o it_o be_v always_o
