A75693	An argument proving, that according to the covenant of eternal life revealed in the Scriptures, man may be translated from hence into that eternal life, without passing through death altho the humane nature of Christ himself could not be thus translated till he had passed through death.	Asgill, John, 1659-1738.	1700 (1700)	Wing A3926; ESTC R208477	45,123	107

ask_v his_o disciple_n if_o they_o will_v leave_v he_o they_o ask_v he_o again_o whither_o shall_v we_o go_v thou_o have_v the_o word_n of_o eternal_a life_n which_o not_o one_o else_o pretend_v to_o now_o if_o these_o word_n of_o his_o be_v word_n only_o then_o be_v he_o a_o impostor_n and_o his_o doctrine_n be_v false_a but_o if_o this_o assertion_n of_o himself_o be_v true_a that_o man_n by_o he_o may_v live_v for_o ever_o then_o all_o our_o attempt_n beneath_o this_o be_v mean_a and_o cowardly_a as_o count_v ourselves_o unworthy_a of_o eternal_a life_n the_o objection_n make_v against_o he_o when_o he_o affirm_v it_o be_v the_o custom_n of_o the_o world_n to_o the_o contrary_n abraham_n be_v dead_a and_o the_o prophet_n be_v dead_a who_o make_v thou_o thyself_o to_o be_v and_o i_o be_o not_o unaware_o that_o this_o custom_n of_o the_o world_n to_o die_v have_v gain_v such_o a_o prevalency_n over_o our_o mind_n by_o prepossess_v we_o of_o the_o necessity_n of_o death_n that_o it_o stand_v ready_a to_o swallow_v my_o argument_n whole_a without_o digest_v it_o for_o if_o the_o custom_n of_o bondage_n derive_v upon_o man_n but_o for_o a_o few_o generation_n do_v so_o enure_v he_o to_o subjection_n that_o he_o think_v it_o jure_fw-la divino_fw-la and_o all_o attempt_n against_o it_o to_o be_v rebellion_n how_o much_o more_o may_v i_o expect_v that_o this_o attempt_n against_o death_n which_o have_v have_v so_o much_o a_o long_a possession_n over_o man_n will_v be_v account_v madness_n but_o as_o a_o learned_a man_n say_v that_o the_o pride_n of_o woman_n come_v from_o the_o baseness_n of_o man_n and_o the_o courage_n of_o coward_n from_o other_o more_o coward_n so_o i_o may_v say_v that_o the_o dominion_n of_o death_n be_v support_v by_o our_o fear_n of_o it_o by_o which_o it_o have_v bully_v the_o world_n to_o this_o day_n and_o therefore_o before_o i_o fall_v upon_o the_o direct_a proof_n of_o my_o argument_n i_o will_v offer_v a_o answer_n to_o the_o custom_n of_o the_o world_n against_o i_o custom_n itself_o without_o a_o reason_n for_o it_o be_v a_o argument_n only_o to_o fool_n nor_o can_v the_o life_n or_o death_n of_o one_o man_n be_v assign_v as_o the_o cause_n of_o the_o life_n or_o death_n of_o another_o unless_o the_o same_o thing_n happen_v to_o they_o both_o abraham_n be_v dead_a and_o the_o prophet_n be_v dead_a what_o then_o why_o abraham_n die_v of_o age_n as_o the_o folk_n call_v it_o he_o give_v up_o the_o ghost_n be_v a_o old_a man_n and_o full_a of_o year_n and_o the_o prophet_n be_v many_o of_o they_o knock_v on_o the_o head_n you_o have_v stone_v the_o prophet_n must_v it_o therefore_o follow_v that_o either_o of_o these_o death_n must_v happen_v to_o i_o or_o that_o because_o they_o die_v of_o one_o death_n i_o must_v die_v of_o another_o suppose_v my_o mother_n die_v in_o childbed_n must_v i_o therefore_o do_v so_o too_o or_o that_o my_o father_n be_v hang_v must_v i_o therefore_o be_v drown_v abraham_n be_v dead_a and_o the_o prophet_n be_v dead_a what_o then_o why_o abraham_n have_v a_o son_n of_o his_o own_o beget_n at_o a_o hundred_o year_n old_a upon_o a_o woman_n of_o ninety_o have_v a_o army_n of_o man_n bear_v in_o his_o own_o house_n flock_n and_o herd_n without_o number_n and_o a_o whole_a country_n of_o his_o own_o to_o feed_v they_o in_o and_o the_o prophet_n be_v favourite_n of_o heaven_n can_v raise_v the_o dead_a and_o kill_v the_o live_n must_v therefore_o any_o of_o these_o gift_n happen_v to_o i_o why_o then_o if_o i_o must_v not_o partake_v with_o abraham_n and_o the_o prophet_n in_o their_o blessing_n why_o must_v i_o partake_v with_o they_o in_o their_o death_n nor_o do_v abraham_n die_v because_o the_o prophet_n die_v nor_o do_v the_o prophet_n die_v because_o abraham_n die_v then_o if_o their_o death_n have_v no_o effect_n upon_o one_o another_o why_o shall_v they_o have_v any_o effect_n upon_o i_o and_o as_o the_o life_n or_o death_n of_o one_o man_n be_v no_o cause_n of_o the_o life_n or_o death_n of_o another_o so_o the_o multitude_n of_o example_n do_v alter_v the_o case_n the_o life_n or_o death_n of_o all_o the_o world_n except_o one_o man_n can_v be_v no_o cause_n of_o the_o life_n or_o death_n of_o that_o one_o man._n almost_o this_o very_a case_n once_o happen_v in_o the_o world_n when_o the_o flood_n destroy_v all_o but_o eight_o person_n and_o yet_o this_o be_v no_o argument_n that_o those_o eight_o must_v be_v drown_v too_o nor_o be_v the_o preservation_n of_o they_o any_o argument_n for_o the_o preservation_n of_o the_o rest_n we_o have_v hear_v of_o a_o hundred_o thousand_o man_n slay_v in_o battle_n and_o yet_o this_o be_v no_o argument_n for_o the_o death_n of_o any_o other_o man_n who_o be_v not_o slay_v in_o it_o wherefore_o the_o custom_n of_o the_o world_n to_o die_v be_v no_o argument_n one_o way_n or_o other_o but_o because_o i_o know_v that_o custom_n itself_o be_v admit_v as_o a_o evidence_n of_o title_n upon_o presumption_n that_o this_o custom_n have_v once_o a_o reasonable_a commencement_n and_o that_o this_o reason_n do_v continue_v therefore_o it_o be_v incumbent_n upon_o i_o to_o answer_v this_o custom_n by_o show_v the_o time_n and_o reason_n of_o its_o commencement_n and_o that_o this_o reason_n be_v determine_v which_o if_o i_o do_v show_v than_o the_o bare_a custom_n of_o the_o world_n to_o die_v ought_v no_o long_o to_o be_v admit_v as_o a_o title_n against_o life_n first_o then_o i_o do_v admit_v the_o custom_n or_o possession_n of_o death_n over_o the_o world_n to_o be_v as_o follow_v viz._n that_o death_n do_v reign_v from_o adam_n to_o moses_n by_o a_o uninterrupted_a possession_n over_o all_o man_n woman_n and_o child_n create_v or_o bear_v except_o one_o breach_n make_v upon_o it_o in_o that_o time_n by_o enoch_n and_o have_v reign_v from_o moses_n unto_o this_o day_n by_o the_o like_a uninterrupted_a possession_n except_o one_o other_o breach_n make_v upon_o it_o in_o this_o time_n by_o elijah_n and_o this_o be_v as_o strong_a a_o possession_n as_o can_v be_v allege_v against_o i_o to_o answer_v this_o i_o must_v show_v that_o this_o custom_n or_o possession_n of_o death_n have_v a_o reasonable_a commencement_n which_o be_v the_o original_a of_o it_o to_o avoid_v this_o possession_n i_o must_v show_v that_o this_o reason_n be_v determine_v and_o that_o therefore_o this_o possession_n ought_v to_o be_v no_o long_o admit_v as_o a_o title_n against_o life_n the_o religion_n of_o the_o world_n now_o be_v that_o man_n be_v bear_v to_o die_v but_o from_o the_o beginning_n it_o be_v not_o so_o for_o man_n be_v make_v to_o live_v god_n make_v not_o death_n till_o man_n bring_v it_o upon_o himself_o by_o his_o delinquency_n adam_n stand_v as_o fair_a for_o life_n as_o death_n and_o fair_a too_o because_o he_o be_v in_o the_o actual_a possession_n of_o life_n as_o tenant_n thereof_o at_o the_o will_n of_o

there_o can_v not_o be_v a_o sin_n more_o opposite_a to_o the_o whole_a law_n of_o god_n for_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v conceive_v that_o there_o be_v any_o physical_a virtue_n in_o either_o of_o

pass_v through_o the_o death_n and_o resurrection_n of_o christ_n in_o that_o legal_a form_n prescribe_v by_o the_o covenant_n of_o eternal_a life_n because_o his_o death_n and_o not_o we_o be_v make_v the_o seal_n of_o that_o covenant_n and_o this_o man_n may_v do_v without_o any_o real_a death_n or_o resurrection_n of_o his_o own_o if_o the_o death_n and_o resurrection_n of_o christ_n be_v

will_v seem_v of_o our_o law_n who_o see_v another_o entitle_v to_o a_o estate_n by_o seal_v of_o a_o piece_n of_o wax_n upon_o a_o piece_n of_o parchment_n shall_v think_v to_o get_v the_o same_o

familiar_a to_o myself_o that_o can_v i_o pass_v through_o a_o actual_a death_n and_o resurrection_n of_o my_o own_o without_o pain_n i_o will_v not_o value_v the_o experiment_n as_o any_o thing_n towards_o salvation_n further_o than_o this_o that_o i_o shall_v thereby_o know_v that_o there_o be_v nothing_o in_o it_o and_o of_o this_o i_o be_o as_o well_o satisfy_v by_o the_o experiment_n make_v upon_o other_o as_o if_o it_o be_v upon_o myself_o when_o christ_n have_v open_v the_o eye_n of_o the_o man_n bear_v blind_a the_o people_n be_v ready_a to_o interrogate_v he_o to_o death_n

to_o eternal_a life_n though_o he_o shall_v die_v for_o the_o text_n run_v double_a i_o be_o the_o resurrection_n and_o the_o life_n he_o that_o live_v and_o believe_v on_o i_o shall_v never_o die_v and_o though_o he_o be_v dead_a he_o shall_v live_v but_o this_o i_o say_v that_o by_o this_o very_a text_n there_o be_v a_o near_a way_n of_o enter_v into_o eternal_a life_n than_o by_o the_o way_n of_o death_n and_o resurrection_n whatever_o circumstance_n a_o man_n be_v under_o at_o the_o time_n of_o his_o faith_n god_n be_v bind_v upon_o his_o fidelity_n to_o make_v good_a this_o text_n to_o

because_o i_o pass_v through_o this_o last_o article_n long_o before_o the_o other_o which_o i_o be_o now_o argue_v for_o ever_o enter_v into_o my_o thought_n i_o once_o court_v death_n as_o elijah_n
