down_o my_o life_n and_o to_o take_v it_o up_o again_o if_o this_o have_v not_o be_v though_o he_o have_v rise_v a_o thousand_o time_n by_o the_o power_n of_o another_o he_o have_v not_o be_v a_o perfect_a redeemer_n the_o last_o point_n be_v wherein_o stand_v the_o resurrection_n of_o christ_n answer_v it_o consist_v in_o three_o action_n of_o christ._n the_o first_o be_v the_o reunit_n of_o his_o body_n to_o his_o soul_n both_o which_o be_v sever_v for_o a_o time_n though_o neither_o of_o they_o be_v sever_v from_o the_o godhead_n the_o second_o action_n be_v the_o change_n of_o his_o natural_a life_n which_o he_o lead_v in_o the_o estate_n of_o humiliation_n into_o a_o heavenly_a and_o spiritual_a life_n without_o infirmity_n and_o not_o maintain_v by_o food_n as_o before_o for_o we_o find_v not_o that_o after_o his_o resurrection_n he_o ever_o take_v meat_n for_o necessity_n but_o only_o upon_o occasion_n to_o manifest_v the_o truth_n of_o his_o manhood_n and_o this_o life_n he_o take_v unto_o himself_o that_o he_o may_v convey_v it_o to_o all_o that_o shall_v believe_v in_o he_o the_o three_o action_n be_v his_o come_n forth_o of_o the_o grave_n whereby_o death_n itself_o do_v as_o it_o be_v acknowledge_v he_o to_o be_v a_o conqueror_n and_o that_o it_o have_v no_o title_n or_o interest_n in_o he_o these_o five_o thing_n consider_v the_o article_n of_o christ_n resurrection_n shall_v be_v right_o understand_v touch_v the_o virtue_n of_o christ_n resurrection_n it_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o the_o power_n of_o his_o god_n head_n or_o the_o power_n of_o his_o spirit_n whereby_o he_o raise_v himself_o mighty_o from_o death_n to_o life_n and_o that_o in_o our_o behalf_n the_o excellency_n of_o it_o may_v be_v know_v by_o the_o effect_n which_o be_v in_o number_n eight_o the_o first_o that_o by_o it_o he_o show_v himself_o to_o be_v the_o true_a and_o perfect_a saviour_n of_o the_o world_n for_o it_o be_v foretell_v of_o the_o messiah_n that_o he_o shall_v die_v &_o rise_v again_o psal._n 16._o matth._n 12._o and_o all_o this_o be_v according_o accomplish_v by_o the_o virtue_n of_o christ_n resurrection_n the_o second_o effect_n be_v that_o by_o it_o he_o show_v himself_o to_o be_v the_o true_a and_o natural_a son_n of_o god_n 1â—_n paul_n say_v he_o be_v declare_v mighty_o to_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n by_o the_o spirit_n of_o holiness_n in_o his_o rise_n from_o the_o dead_a the_o three_o effect_n be_v that_o by_o this_o virtue_n he_o declare_v himself_o to_o have_v make_v a_o full_a and_o perfect_a satisfaction_n for_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o world_n for_o if_o he_o have_v not_o satisfy_v to_o the_o full_a 17._o he_o have_v not_o rise_v again_o and_o paul_n say_v if_o christ_n be_v not_o rise_v we_o be_v yet_o in_o our_o sin_n on_o the_o contrary_a then_o see_v he_o be_v rise_v such_o as_o believe_v in_o he_o be_v not_o in_o their_o sin_n 34._o again_o who_o shall_v condemn_v we_o it_o be_v christ_n which_o be_v dead_a yea_o or_o rather_o which_o be_v rise_v again_o the_o four_o effect_n be_v justification_n as_o paul_n testify_v he_o die_v for_o our_o sin_n and_o rise_v again_o for_o our_o justification_n and_o that_o be_v on_o this_o manner_n when_o he_o be_v upon_o the_o cross_n he_o stand_v there_o in_o our_o room_n have_v our_o sin_n impute_v unto_o he_o and_o when_o he_o rise_v from_o death_n he_o acquit_v and_o justify_v himself_o from_o our_o sin_n and_o cease_v to_o be_v any_o more_o a_o repute_a sinner_n for_o we_o and_o thus_o all_o that_o do_v or_o shall_v believe_v in_o he_o be_v in_o he_o acquit_v absolve_v and_o justify_v from_o all_o their_o sin_n if_o any_o demand_n how_o they_o which_o live_v in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n before_o the_o resurrection_n of_o christ_n can_v be_v justify_v thereby_o consider_v the_o effect_n must_v follow_v the_o cause_n i_o answer_v that_o they_o be_v justify_v by_o the_o future_a resurrection_n of_o christ_n which_o though_o it_o follow_v in_o time_n yet_o do_v the_o value_n &_o virtue_n thereof_o reach_v even_o even_o to_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o world_n the_o five_o effect_n be_v the_o confer_v and_o bestow_v of_o all_o such_o gift_n and_o grace_n as_o he_o have_v merit_v &_o procure_v for_o we_o by_o his_o death_n and_o passion_n thus_o christ_n testify_v that_o the_o give_v of_o the_o spirit_n in_o large_a &_o plentiful_a manner_n be_v reserve_v to_o the_o glorification_n of_o christ_n 39_o which_o begin_v in_o his_o resurrection_n 47._o and_o the_o preach_n of_o repentance_n and_o remission_n

by_o reason_n of_o this_o bestow_n of_o grace_n and_o gift_n the_o resurrection_n of_o christ_n be_v the_o begin_n of_o a_o new_a and_o spiritual_a world_n which_o the_o holy_a ghost_n call_v the_o
