predicate_a do_v not_o live_v for_o ever_o there_o be_v a_o threefold_a life_n whereof_o we_o read_v in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n viz._n a_o temporal_a life_n or_o a_o life_n of_o nature_n a_o

which_o the_o saint_n shall_v live_v above_o will_v be_v of_o a_o everlasting_a duration_n but_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n in_o the_o word_n of_o my_o text_n speak_v of_o a_o temporal_a life_n or_o

therefore_o when_o it_o take_v its_o flight_n from_o it_o it_o cease_v to_o be_v a_o live_a creature_n and_o become_v a_o lifeless_a lump_n of_o clay_n this_o death_n of_o the_o body_n consist_v in_o a_o cessation_n of_o the_o circulation_n of_o the_o blood_n and_o spirit_n which_o be_v the_o animal_n soul_n of_o man_n thereby_o the_o body_n be_v deprive_v of_o its_o strength_n and_o vigour_n of_o

to_o assign_v some_o general_a reason_n why_o minister_n must_v die_v as_o well_o as_o other_o man_n in_o general_n because_o it_o be_v appoint_v for_o all_o man_n once_o to_o die_v heb._n 9.27_o
