this_o text._n first_o they_o say_v that_o this_o text_n it_o be_v a_o parable_n and_o not_o a_o historical_a narration_n to_o this_o i_o answer_v though_o some_o man_n do_v say_v it_o be_v a_o parable_n yet_o many_o say_v it_o be_v a_o history_n jerome_n and_o many_o follow_v he_o do_v give_v many_o argument_n to_o prove_v that_o it_o be_v a_o history_n and_o not_o a_o parable_n and_o tertullian_n be_v confident_a that_o this_o be_v a_o exact_a history_n of_o what_o be_v real_o do_v and_o peter_n martyr_n do_v quote_v tertullian_n say_v he_o that_o tertullian_n be_v so_o confident_a that_o this_o be_v a_o history_n that_o he_o undertake_v for_o to_o tell_v this_o to_o tell_v you_o who_o be_v the_o man_n say_v he_o the_o rich_a man_n be_v herod_n and_o the_o beggar_n be_v john_n the_o baptist_n but_o suppose_v it_o be_v a_o parable_n and_o not_o a_o history_n yet_o parable_n do_v carry_v the_o resemblance_n of_o truth_n parable_n take_v their_o foundation_n from_o truth_n that_o there_o be_v some_o man_n in_o hell_n and_o some_o man_n in_o heaven_n that_o in_o hell_n there_o be_v torment_n and_o in_o heaven_n there_o be_v joy_n that_o as_o the_o beggar_n go_v to_o heaven_n after_o death_n so_o shall_v all_o the_o godly_a and_o as_o the_o rich_a man_n go_v to_o hell_n so_o shall_v all_o the_o wicked_a the_o other_o evasion_n be_v this_o it_o be_v say_v that_o this_o beggar_n be_v say_v to_o be_v carry_v into_o abraham_n bosom_n i_o answer_v first_o it_o be_v more_o than_o probable_a that_o abraham_n bosom_n be_v heaven_n now_o abraham_n be_v in_o heaven_n why_o all_o his_o child_n be_v in_o heaven_n as_o child_n in_o a_o father_n bosom_n he_o be_v the_o father_n of_o the_o faithful_a that_o be_v the_o answer_n that_o gerrard_n give_v again_o it_o be_v say_v that_o they_o be_v carry_v by_o angel_n into_o abraham_n bosom_n therefore_o abraham_n bosom_n must_v be_v in_o heaven_n now_o certain_o the_o good_a angel_n carry_v a_o good_a soul_n into_o heaven_n and_o the_o wicked_a angel_n carry_v a_o damn_a soul_n into_o hell_n and_o thus_o you_o have_v two_o instance_n that_o immediate_o after_o death_n the_o soul_n of_o the_o elect_n go_v to_o heaven_n a_o three_o instance_n be_v in_o mat._n 22.31_o 32._o but_o as_o touch_v the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o dead_a have_v you_o not_o read_v that_o which_o be_v speak_v unto_o you_o by_o god_n say_v i_o be_o the_o god_n of_o abraham_n and_o the_o god_n of_o isaac_n and_o the_o god_n of_o jacob_n god_n be_v not_o the_o god_n of_o the_o dead_a but_o of_o the_o live_n argue_v from_o that_o instance_n that_o therefore_o abraham_n isaac_n and_o jacob_n be_v live_v at_o that_o time_n though_o not_o in_o their_o body_n but_o they_o be_v at_o that_o time_n live_v if_o you_o mark_v the_o reason_n the_o reason_n of_o that_o text_n be_v not_o to_o prove_v a_o resurrection_n of_o the_o body_n only_o which_o the_o saducee_v deny_v but_o also_o to_o prove_v the_o imortality_n of_o the_o soul_n the_o saducee_v deny_v spirit_n and_o angel_n too_o act_n 23.8_o for_o the_o saducee_v say_v that_o there_o be_v no_o resurrection_n neither_o angel_n nor_o spirit_n but_o the_o pharisee_n confess_v both_o christ_n do_v prove_v that_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o resurrection_n of_o the_o body_n and_o he_o likewise_o prove_v that_o the_o soul_n do_v not_o die_v when_o the_o body_n die_v indeed_o there_o be_v a_o quotation_n that_o i_o have_v read_v of_o a_o learned_a man_n that_o do_v make_v use_n of_o this_o instance_n gen._n 25.8_o then_o abraham_n give_v up_o the_o ghost_n and_o die_v in_o a_o good_a old_a age_n a_o old_a man_n and_o full_a of_o year_n and_o be_v gather_v to_o his_o people_n abraham_n be_v not_o gather_v to_o his_o father_n nor_o to_o be_v gather_v in_o the_o grave_n where_o his_o forefather_n be_v how_o can_v this_o be_v true_a that_o the_o scripture_n say_v abraham_n be_v gather_v unto_o his_o father_n yet_o he_o be_v not_o gather_v to_o his_o father_n in_o god_n therefore_o say_v divine_n it_o must_v be_v in_o his_o soul_n that_o abraham_n go_v to_o heaven_n as_o his_o godly_a forefather_n go_v that_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o that_o phrase_n to_o be_v bind_v up_o in_o the_o bundle_n of_o life_n to_o go_v to_o heaven_n as_o their_o forefather_n do_v and_o thus_o much_o for_o particular_a instance_n the_o second_o way_n to_o prove_v that_o the_o soul_n of_o the_o elect_a man_n go_v to_o heaven_n immediate_o after_o death_n it_o be_v by_o general_a expression_n in_o scripture_n two_o general_a passage_n one_o be_v in_o heb._n 12.23_o to_o the_o general_a assembly_n and_o church_n of_o the_o first_o bear_v which_o be_v write_v in_o heaven_n and_o to_o god_n the_o judge_n of_o all_o and_o to_o the_o spirit_n of_o just_a man_n make_v perfect_a thence_o i_o argue_v that_o the_o apostle_n make_v mention_v and_o prove_v that_o there_o be_v the_o spirit_n of_o just_a man_n make_v perfect_a now_o if_o their_o soul_n do_v perish_v with_o their_o body_n than_o the_o apostle_n shall_v say_v that_o their_o spirit_n be_v annihilate_v with_o the_o body_n but_o it_o be_v the_o spirit_n of_o just_a man_n make_v perfect_a the_o scripture_n take_v notice_n in_o general_a expression_n that_o just_a man_n have_v their_o soul_n make_v perfect_a and_o then_o in_o eccle._n 12.7_o then_o shall_v the_o dust_n return_n to_o the_o earth_n as_o it_o be_v and_o the_o spirit_n shall_v return_v to_o god_n who_o give_v it_o mark_v here_o be_v two_o thing_n speak_v of_o first_o here_o be_v the_o end_n of_o godly_a man_n the_o body_n shall_v go_v to_o the_o dust_n and_o the_o soul_n to_o god_n the_o time_n when_o it_o shall_v be_v be_v when_o that_o man_n go_v to_o his_o long_a home_n when_o the_o keeper_n of_o the_o house_n shall_v tremble_v that_o be_v the_o hand_n and_o arm_n and_o the_o strong_a man_n shall_v bow_v themselves_o that_o be_v the_o foot_n and_o thigh_n and_o the_o grinder_n shall_v cease_v that_o be_v the_o tooth_n and_o they_o that_o look_v out_o at_o the_o window_n shall_v be_v darken_v that_o be_v the_o eye_n when_o nature_n decay_v and_o the_o body_n perish_v by_o disease_n and_o dye_n then_o shall_v the_o body_n go_v to_o the_o dust_n and_o the_o spirit_n to_o god_n that_o give_v it_o three_o i_o shall_v prove_v it_o to_o you_o from_o express_a passage_n in_o the_o scripture_n that_o do_v confirm_v this_o that_o the_o soul_n of_o the_o elect_a after_o death_n before_o christ_n come_n be_v receive_v into_o heaven_n for_o this_o i_o shall_v give_v four_o or_o five_o express_a scripture_n the_o first_o be_v in_o john_n 6.40_o and_o this_o be_v the_o will_n of_o he_o that_o send_v i_o that_o every_o one_o which_o see_v the_o son_n and_o believe_v on_o he_o may_v have_v everlasting_a life_n and_o i_o will_v raise_v he_o up_o at_o the_o last_o day_n here_o be_v two_o distinct_a promise_n premise_v first_o a_o promise_n of_o everlasting_a life_n second_o a_o promise_n of_o raise_v up_o at_o the_o last_o day_n first_o a_o promise_n of_o everlasting_a life_n be_v make_v distinct_a from_o the_o other_o divine_n say_v that_o before_o the_o raise_n up_o at_o the_o last_o day_n there_o be_v a_o everlasting_a life_n that_o his_o soul_n shall_v live_v before_o the_o last_o day_n and_o his_o body_n shall_v be_v raise_v up_o at_o the_o last_o day_n another_o text_n be_v in_o luke_n 16.9_o and_o i_o say_v unto_o you_o make_v to_o yourselves_o friend_n of_o the_o mammon_n of_o unrighteousness_n that_o when_o you_o fail_v they_o may_v receive_v you_o into_o everlasting_a habitation_n kemnitius_n make_v great_a use_n of_o this_o text_n to_o prove_v what_o i_o be_o now_o argue_v to_o you_o that_o immediate_o after_o death_n the_o soul_n of_o a_o elect_a man_n be_v receive_v into_o heaven_n mark_v make_v you_o friend_n of_o the_o mammon_n of_o unrighteousness_n that_o be_v your_o wealth_n call_v so_o either_o because_o it_o be_v unrighteous_o get_v or_o unrighteous_o keep_v use_v your_o wealth_n well_o that_o when_o you_o die_v you_o may_v be_v receive_v into_o everlasting_a habitation_n it_o be_v questionable_a whether_o it_o be_v refer_v to_o angel_n or_o to_o the_o poor_a which_o shall_v pray_v for_o we_o that_o we_o may_v be_v receive_v into_o heaven_n but_o say_v kemnitius_n use_v your_o wealth_n well_o that_o you_o may_v be_v receive_v into_o everlasting_a habitation_n upon_o your_o fail_n upon_o your_o die_v the_o lord_n receive_v the_o elect_a into_o everlasting_a habitation_n this_o kemnitius_n do_v build_v on_o that_o the_o soul_n do_v go_v to_o heaven_n immediate_o after_o death_n a_o three_o scripture_n be_v in_o phil._n 3.23_o for_o i_o be_o in_o a_o strait_n betwixt_o two_o have_v a_o desire_n to_o

depart_v and_o to_o be_v with_o christ_n which_o be_v far_o better_a so_o that_o the_o apostle_n do_v only_o make_v these_o two_o conclusion_n a_o depart_a out_o of_o the_o world_n out_o of_o this_o life_n and_o a_o desire_n to_o be_v with_o jesus_n christ_n he_o mention_n not_o place_n for_o a_o good_a soul_n to_o go_v to_o he_o mention_n not_o purgatory_n nor_o limbus_n patrum_fw-la and_o so_o likewise_o a_o four_o text_n you_o have_v in_o 2_o cor._n 6.8.9_o therefore_o we_o be_v always_o confident_a know_v that_o whilst_o we_o be_v at_o home_n in_o the_o body_n we_o be_v absent_a from_o the_o lord_n we_o be_v confident_a i_o say_v and_o willing_a rather_o to_o be_v absent_a from_o the_o body_n and_o to_o be_v present_a with_o the_o lord_n wherefore_o we_o labour_v that_o whether_o present_a or_o absent_a we_o may_v be_v accept_v of_o he_o mark_n that_o the_o apostle_n do_v only_o make_v these_o two_o conclusion_n to_o be_v absent_a from_o the_o body_n and_o to_o be_v present_a with_o the_o lord_n so_o that_o the_o soul_n be_v present_a with_o the_o lord_n whilst_o absent_a from_o the_o body_n then_o again_o that_o prayer_n of_o stephen_n prove_v it_o likewise_o in_o act_n 7.59_o and_o they_o stone_v stephen_n call_v upon_o god_n and_o say_v lord_n jesus_n receive_v my_o spirit_n it_o have_v be_v uncomfortable_a for_o he_o to_o have_v think_v that_o he_o shall_v have_v be_v stone_v for_o jesus_n christ_n and_o it_o must_v have_v be_v above_o 1600_o year_n before_o christ_n shall_v have_v receive_v his_o soul_n but_o he_o pray_v lord_n jesus_n christ_n receive_v my_o soul_n which_o he_o will_v not_o have_v do_v if_o he_o have_v not_o believe_v that_o his_o soul_n will_v have_v be_v receive_v by_o jesus_n christ_n immediate_o after_o death_n and_o thus_o i_o leave_v those_o scripture_n to_o confirm_v you_o in_o this_o that_o the_o soul_n do_v not_o sleep_v in_o the_o body_n but_o at_o the_o parture_n from_o the_o body_n it_o do_v immediate_o go_v to_o heaven_n four_o i_o prove_v it_o to_o you_o by_o show_v those_o gross_a absurdity_n and_o inconvenience_n that_o will_v arise_v in_o case_n it_o shall_v be_v deny_v that_o god_n do_v not_o receive_v the_o soul_n of_o any_o elect_a man_n till_o he_o do_v come_v to_o judge_v the_o world_n first_o it_o will_v follow_v that_o the_o godly_a will_v be_v in_o a_o worse_a condition_n after_o they_o be_v dead_a than_o they_o be_v in_o when_o they_o be_v alive_a for_o when_o they_o be_v alive_a to_o live_v be_v christ_n christ_n dwell_v in_o their_o heart_n by_o faith_n now_o if_o the_o soul_n do_v sleep_n with_o the_o body_n and_o perish_v with_o the_o body_n than_o christ_n do_v not_o live_v in_o they_o christ_n do_v not_o dwell_v there_o by_o faith_n so_o that_o this_o will_v be_v uncomfortable_a that_o a_o believer_n after_o death_n shall_v be_v in_o a_o worse_a condition_n then_o during_o this_o life_n for_o here_o he_o live_v in_o christ_n by_o faith_n second_o than_o it_o will_v follow_v that_o god_n the_o father_n will_v be_v more_o cruel_a to_o his_o people_n than_o he_o will_v have_v other_o man_n be_v to_o their_o servant_n which_o have_v do_v their_o work_n mark_v that_o text_n levit._n 19.13_o thou_o shall_v not_o defraud_v thy_o neighbour_n neither_o rob_v he_o the_o wage_n of_o he_o that_o be_v hire_v shall_v not_o abide_v with_o thou_o all_o night_n until_o

any_o reward_n from_o you_o till_o his_o last_o come_n no_o but_o when_o you_o have_v end_v your_o life_n and_o do_v your_o work_n you_o receive_v your_o wage_n when_o your_o work_n be_v do_v you_o

that_o the_o soul_n of_o wicked_a man_n do_v not_o go_v to_o hell_n after_o death_n and_o how_o repugnant_a this_o be_v to_o the_o scripture_n you_o well_o know_v when_o the_o scripture_n say_v in_o the_o epistle_n of_o judas_n that_o the_o man_n of_o sodom_n and_o gomorrha_n suffer_v the_o vengeance_n of_o eternal_a fire_n and_o of_o judas_n act_v 25._o that_o he_o may_v take_v part_n of_o

say_v that_o a_o godly_a man_n do_v not_o go_v to_o heaven_n immediate_o after_o death_n it_o will_v follow_v that_o a_o wicked_a man_n do_v not_o go_v to_o hell_n immediate_o after_o death_n four_o it_o will_v follow_v that_o there_o shall_v be_v only_a angel_n in_o heaven_n and_o no_o saint_n whereas_o the_o scripture_n say_v express_o that_o christ_n shall_v come_v from_o heaven_n with_o his_o

follow_v that_o it_o will_v be_v a_o great_a discomfort_n to_o a_o godly_a man_n on_o his_o deathbed_n if_o he_o shall_v be_v so_o many_o hundred_o year_n before_o christ_n will_v bring_v he_o to_o

shall_v not_o be_v take_v up_o into_o heaven_n and_o thus_o i_o have_v prove_v that_o immediate_o after_o the_o godly_a die_n their_o soul_n be_v receive_v into_o heaven_n i_o have_v prove_v it_o by_o

great_a end_n of_o christ_n come_n again_o for_o to_o receive_v the_o body_n of_o all_o the_o elect_a unto_o himself_o into_o heaven_n with_o he_o i_o come_v again_o and_o receive_v you_o unto_o myself_o i_o shall_v not_o follow_v the_o common_a place_n in_o handle_v the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o body_n i_o shall_v only_o handle_v this_o point_n practical_o to_o you_o in_o show_v you_o what_o the_o happiness_n of_o the_o elect_a of_o god_n be_v in_o their_o body_n as_o well_o as_o their_o soul_n now_o because_o this_o text_n be_v make_v use_n of_o to_o pervert_v many_o scripture_n i_o shall_v handle_v this_o practical_a question_n before_o i_o can_v come_v to_o handle_v the_o doctrine_n quest_n the_o question_n be_v this_o that_o see_v jesus_n christ_n do_v only_o promise_v that_o he_o will_v receive_v the_o elect_a unto_o himself_o at_o his_o come_n again_o then_o this_o question_n will_v be_v start_v than_o what_o become_v of_o all_o the_o godly_a immediate_o after_o death_n before_o christ_n come_n again_o to_o judgement_n therefore_o those_o that_o hold_v for_o the_o sleep_a of_o the_o soul_n they_o on_o this_o text_n do_v ground_n that_o there_o be_v no_o receive_n neither_o one_o or_o other_o the_o one_o to_o life_n the_o other_o to_o death_n the_o wicked_a be_v not_o torment_v then_o nor_o the_o godly_a glorify_v till_o then_o therefore_o it_o be_v needful_a that_o see_v christ_n do_v here_o speak_v of_o receive_v they_o unto_o himself_o not_o till_o his_o come_n than_o what_o become_v of_o the_o soul_n of_o dead_a man_n before_o the_o come_n of_o christ_n ans_fw-fr before_o i_o give_v you_o the_o answer_n take_v this_o distinction_n there_o be_v a_o twofold_a receive_n first_o there_o be_v a_o partial_a and_o incomplete_a receive_n and_o this_o be_v do_v immediate_o after_o death_n that_o when_o the_o soul_n do_v depart_v from_o the_o body_n the_o soul_n be_v receive_v by_o jesus_n christ_n in_o heaven_n and_o that_o be_v the_o reason_n of_o those_o speech_n in_o act_n 7._o there_o be_v a_o receive_v they_o before_o christ_n come_n and_o this_o be_v call_v a_o partial_a and_o incomplete_a reception_n it_o be_v only_o a_o receive_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o not_o of_o the_o body_n second_o there_o be_v a_o total_a and_o complete_a reception_n both_o of_o the_o body_n and_o the_o soul_n into_o glory_n and_o it_o be_v this_o that_o the_o text_n here_o speak_v of_o though_o it_o be_v true_a there_o be_v not_o a_o total_a reception_n of_o a_o believer_n till_o christ_n come_v to_o judgement_n yet_o there_o be_v a_o partial_a reception_n i_o do_v not_o speak_v to_o those_o that_o say_v the_o soul_n be_v mortal_a and_o that_o it_o shall_v never_o live_v but_o to_o those_o that_o say_v the_o soul_n shall_v sleep_v and_o the_o soul_n do_v perish_v with_o the_o body_n until_o the_o resurrection_n now_o against_o these_o that_o plead_v for_o the_o sleep_a of_o the_o soul_n till_o christ_n come_n again_o take_v these_o four_o way_n how_o to_o strengthen_v you_o in_o this_o first_o there_o be_v pregnant_a instance_n in_o scripture_n that_o after_o the_o godly_a die_n their_o soul_n be_v receive_v into_o heaven_n before_o christ_n come_v second_o there_o be_v general_a expression_n in_o the_o scripture_n as_o well_o as_o particular_a instance_n to_o prove_v this_o three_o there_o be_v express_a passage_n in_o the_o scripture_n to_o confirm_v this_o four_o there_o be_v absurd_a inconsequence_n that_o will_v arise_v in_o case_n it_o shall_v be_v deny_v first_o there_o be_v pregnant_a instance_n or_o example_n in_o the_o scripture_n to_o prove_v that_o after_o death_n the_o soul_n be_v receive_v into_o heaven_n take_v three_o instance_n first_o that_o know_v text_n luke_n 23.43_o and_o jesus_n say_v unto_o he_o very_o i_o say_v unto_o thou_o to_o day_n thou_o shall_v be_v with_o i_o in_o paradise_n that_o day_n christ_n die_v that_o day_n christ_n go_v to_o heaven_n therefore_o that_o day_n the_o soul_n of_o that_o convert_a thief_n must_v go_v to_o heaven_n now_o belove_v there_o be_v two_o evasion_n that_o those_o who_o plead_v for_o the_o soul_n cessation_n for_o the_o soul_n sleep_v that_o they_o make_v to_o avoid_v this_o text_n and_o take_v off_o this_o instance_n first_o be_v by_o alter_v the_o comma_n or_o stop_v in_o the_o text_n and_o read_v it_o thus_o i_o say_v unto_o thou_o this_o day_n thou_o shall_v be_v with_o i_o in_o paradise_n that_o to_o day_n they_o do_v not_o refer_v it_o that_o the_o thief_n shall_v be_v in_o paradise_n peter_n martyr_n do_v give_v two_o answer_n to_o this_o evasion_n first_o say_v he_o it_o be_v not_o safe_a to_o alter_v a_o comma_n or_o stop_v in_o scripture_n for_o so_o you_o may_v pervert_v the_o scripture_n and_o make_v it_o speak_v what_o it_o never_o mean_v if_o man_n at_o their_o pleasure_n disagree_v from_o all_o copy_n alter_v comma_n in_o the_o translation_n another_o answer_n that_o it_o appear_v this_o can_v be_v the_o sense_n of_o it_o to_o refer_v to_o day_n to_o the_o time_n that_o christ_n speak_v and_o not_o to_o the_o time_n that_o the_o thief_n shall_v be_v in_o heaven_n for_o say_v gerrard_n mark_v the_o thief_n prayer_n in_o ver_fw-la 42._o and_o be_v say_v unto_o jesus_n lord_n remember_v i_o when_o thou_o come_v into_o thy_o kingdom_n mark_v there_o be_v the_o thief_n when_v that_o when_o christ_n shall_v come_v to_o heaven_n christ_n shall_v remember_v he_o christ_n hodie_fw-la must_v answer_v to_o his_o quando_fw-la or_o else_o he_o do_v not_o answer_v to_o his_o prayer_n christ_n to_o day_n must_v answer_v the_o thief_n when_v that_o when_o christ_n come_v to_o heaven_n there_o to_o remember_v the_o thief_n and_o jesus_n say_v unto_o he_o very_o i_o say_v unto_o thou_o to_o day_n shall_v thou_o be_v with_o i_o in_o paradise_n three_o this_o day_n it_o be_v needless_a for_o christ_n to_o say_v to_o day_n to_o tell_v he_o the_o time_n when_o he_o speak_v he_o know_v christ_n speak_v to_o he_o then_o but_o to_o speak_v of_o the_o time_n when_o the_o thief_n shall_v be_v in_o heaven_n i_o say_v to_o thou_o this_o day_n thou_o shall_v be_v with_o i_o in_o heaven_n the_o second_o evasion_n be_v this_o it_o be_v true_a christ_n promise_v thou_o shall_v be_v with_o i_o in_o paradise_n but_o christ_n do_v not_o say_v thou_o shall_v be_v with_o i_o in_o heaven_n but_o with_o i_o in_o paradise_n there_o be_v three_o answer_n to_o give_v you_o to_o this_o evasion_n first_o that_o those_o that_o will_v not_o by_o paradise_n understand_v heaven_n by_o this_o text_n they_o then_o fall_v in_o with_o the_o papist_n either_o for_o purgatory_n or_o a_o limbus_n patrum_fw-la second_o take_v this_o answer_n that_o in_o other_o scripture_n when_o paradise_n be_v mention_v it_o be_v to_o be_v understand_v heaven_n and_o so_o the_o apostle_n do_v expound_v it_o 2_o cor._n 12.2.4_o i_o know_v a_o man_n in_o christ_n above_o fourteen_o year_n ago_o whether_o in_o the_o body_n i_o can_v tell_v or_o whether_o out_o of_o the_o body_n i_o can_v tell_v god_n know_v such_o a_o one_o catch_v up_o to_o the_o three_o heaven_n how_o that_o he_o be_v catch_v up_o into_o paradise_n and_o hear_v unspeakable_a word_n which_o it_o be_v not_o lawful_a for_o a_o man_n to_o utter_v so_o that_o the_o apostle_n by_o paradise_n do_v expound_v it_o to_o be_v heaven_n revel_v 2.7_o he_o that_o have_v a_o ear_n let_v he_o hear_v what_o the_o spirit_n say_v unto_o the_o church_n to_o he_o that_o overcome_v will_v i_o give_v to_o eat_v of_o the_o tree_n of_o life_n which_o be_v in_o the_o midst_n of_o the_o paradise_n of_o god_n that_o be_v he_o shall_v enjoy_v jesus_n christ_n christ_n in_o heaven_n be_v the_o tree_n of_o life_n in_o the_o paradise_n of_o god_n three_o it_o can_v be_v any_o earthly_a paradise_n the_o paradise_n adam_n be_v in_o before_o his_o fall_n for_o the_o earthly_a paradise_n be_v destroy_v by_o the_o flood_n therefore_o of_o necessity_n when_o christ_n tell_v the_o thief_n to_o day_n shall_v thou_o be_v with_o i_o in_o paradise_n it_o must_v refer_v to_o the_o thief_n go_v to_o heaven_n at_o that_o day_n with_o jesus_n christ_n a_o second_o instance_n it_o be_v in_o luke_n 16.22_o and_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o the_o beggar_n die_v and_o be_v carry_v by_o the_o angel_n into_o abraham_n bosom_n the_o rich_a man_n also_o dye_v and_o be_v bury_v this_o be_v another_o instance_n that_o the_o soul_n of_o the_o elect_a after_o death_n they_o go_v to_o heaven_n there_o be_v two_o evasion_n make_v upon_o
