my_o design_n from_o this_o text_n be_v to_o draw_v some_o useful_a corollary_n or_o conclusion_n from_o this_o assertion_n of_o the_o apostle_n that_o whilst_o we_o be_v in_o these_o body_n we_o be_v

these_o 1._o this_o assertion_n show_v we_o the_o vanity_n and_o falsehood_n of_o that_o opinion_n or_o rather_o dream_n concern_v the_o sleep_n of_o the_o soul_n from_o the_o time_n of_o death_n till_o the_o general_a resurrection_n this_o be_v chief_o ground_v upon_o that_o frequent_a metaphor_n in_o scripture_n by_o which_o death_n be_v resemble_v to_o sleep_v and_o those_o that_o be_v

the_o apostle_n argument_n will_v be_v very_o flat_a and_o it_o will_v be_v but_o a_o cold_a encouragement_n against_o the_o fear_n of_o death_n that_o so_o soon_o as_o we_o be_v dead_a we_o shall_v fall_v asleep_a and_o become_v insensible_a but_o the_o apostle_n use_v it_o as_o a_o argument_n why_o we_o shall_v be_v willing_a to_o die_v as_o soon_o as_o god_n please_v and_o the_o soon_o the_o better_a because_o so_o soon_o as_o we_o quit_v these_o body_n we_o shall_v be_v present_a with_o the_o lord_n that_o be_v admit_v to_o the_o blissful_a sight_n and_o enjoyment_n of_o he_o and_o while_o we_o abide_v in_o the_o body_n we_o be_v detain_v from_o our_o happiness_n but_o if_o our_o soul_n shall_v sleep_v as_o well_o as_o our_o body_n till_o the_o general_a resurrection_n it_o be_v all_o one_o whether_o we_o continue_v in_o the_o body_n or_o not_o as_o to_o any_o happiness_n we_o shall_v enjoy_v in_o the_o mean_a time_n which_o be_v direct_o contrary_a to_o the_o main_a scope_n of_o the_o apostle_n argument_n 2._o this_o assertion_n of_o the_o apostle_n do_v perfect_o conclude_v against_o the_o feign_a purgatory_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n which_o suppose_v the_o far_o

immediate_o into_o heaven_n because_o they_o need_v no_o purgation_n but_o most_o christian_n they_o suppose_v to_o die_v so_o imperfect_a that_o they_o stand_v in_o need_n of_o be_v purge_v and_o according_a to_o the_o degree_n of_o their_o imperfection_n be_v to_o be_v detain_v a_o short_a or_o a_o long_a time_n in_o purgatory_n but_o now_o beside_o that_o there_o be_v no_o text_n in_o
