can_v follow_v then_o that_o our_o body_n shall_v be_v make_v immortal_a as_o his_o be_v it_o be_v impossible_a that_o any_o thing_n which_o be_v his_o shall_v perish_v everlasting_o to_o effect_v such_o a_o union_n as_o be_v between_o christ_n and_o his_o church_n it_o be_v not_o necessary_a nor_o possible_a that_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o confusion_n or_o conjunction_n of_o bodily_a substance_n it_o suffice_v that_o there_o be_v a_o contact_n of_o spiritual_a virtue_n from_o the_o flesh_n of_o christ_n now_o this_o virtue_n go_v along_o with_o the_o sacrament_n and_o be_v receive_v by_o every_o faithful_a communicant_a so_o that_o it_o do_v affect_v even_o his_o body_n sanctify_v and_o appropriate_v it_o to_o the_o saviour_n of_o our_o soul_n and_o body_n both_o and_o make_v our_o whole_a man_n his._n and_o this_o union_n can_v in_o any_o wise_a be_v dissolve_v by_o death_n because_o death_n be_v only_o a_o separation_n of_o the_o soul_n from_o the_o body_n so_o that_o for_o that_o time_n the_o one_o lose_v all_o vital_a activity_n from_o the_o other_o but_o neither_o of_o they_o do_v or_o can_v lose_v its_o title_n to_o christ_n protection_n the_o body_n continue_v still_o relate_v unto_o its_o head_n as_o in_o time_n of_o its_o life_n and_o the_o union_n between_o christ_n and_o it_o remain_v entire_a and_o so_o its_o right_n to_o a_o glorious_a resurrection_n through_o christ_n be_v indefeisable_v in_o this_o respect_n our_o condition_n be_v very_o like_a to_o the_o condition_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n when_o he_o himself_o be_v in_o a_o state_n of_o death_n he_o die_v as_o we_o do_v though_o to_o purpose_n infinite_o great_a and_o with_o torment_n unspeakable_o excessive_a his_o spirit_n be_v actual_o sever_v from_o his_o flesh_n when_o he_o give_v up_o the_o ghost_n nevertheless_o though_o his_o flesh_n have_v no_o manner_n of_o vitality_n from_o his_o humane_a soul_n be_v real_o separate_v from_o it_o yet_o it_o be_v not_o
