my_o father_n three_o what_o he_o will_v say_v father_n i_o have_v sin_v it_o be_v high_a time_n for_o the_o prodigal_a to_o think_v of_o return_v to_o his_o father_n when_o he_o be_v perish_v by_o

he_o be_v sensible_a of_o any_o thing_n he_o can_v but_o be_v apprehensive_a that_o in_o the_o course_n he_o be_v in_o the_o danger_n of_o his_o eternal_a ruin_n be_v as_o certain_o impendent_a as_o it_o be_v more_o intolerable_a but_o now_o to_o come_v to_o the_o particular_n and_o first_o we_o be_v to_o consider_v what_o he_o resolve_v to_o do_v i_o will_v say_v he_o arise_v and_o go_v etc._n etc._n there_o be_v a_o threefold_a resurrection_n of_o a_o christian_n the_o first_o be_v sacramental_a and_o thus_o we_o rise_v again_o in_o baptism_n the_o second_o be_v corporal_n and_o so_o we_o

from_o the_o death_n of_o sin_n thus_o do_v this_o prodigal_n arise_v and_o thus_o do_v every_o true_a penitent_n arise_v while_o he_o here_o live_v on_o the_o earth_n the_o point_n may_v be_v this_o that_o repentance_n from_o sin_n be_v as_o a_o resurrection_n from_o death_n this_o be_v plain_a by_o the_o apostle_n word_n awake_v thou_o that_o sleep_v stand_v up_o from_o the_o dead_a and_o

no_o less_o miraculous_a than_o the_o raise_n of_o the_o dead_a it_o be_v a_o work_n that_o can_v be_v wrought_v by_o the_o power_n of_o nature_n but_o such_o a_o work_n as_o must_v be_v wrought_v by_o the_o mighty_a power_n of_o god_n use_v 2._o and_o that_o shall_v be_v to_o stir_v we_o all_o up_o thus_o to_o arise_v for_o if_o the_o soul_n while_o it_o be_v in_o the_o body_n arise_v not_o out_o of_o the_o grave_a of_o sin_n sure_o it_o be_v the_o body_n shall_v never_o rise_v out_o of_o the_o earth_n but_o to_o shame_n and_o confusion_n use_v all_o good_a mean_n therefore_o that_o thou_o may_v have_v thy_o part_n in_o this_o that_o so_o the_o second_o death_n may_v have_v no_o power_n on_o thou_o for_o otherwise_o it_o be_v impossible_a to_o escape_v the_o power_n of_o it_o by_o no_o mean_n can_v thou_o escape_v the_o pain_n of_o hell_n torment_n if_o thou_o do_v not_o here_o awake_a stand_v up_o from_o the_o dead_a and_o with_o lazarus_n come_v forth_o and_o go_v it_o
