call_v his_o last_o for_o proof_n of_o the_o soul_n immortality_n he_o draw_v from_o the_o nature_n and_o manner_n of_o the_o resurrection_n and_o say_v that_o if_o the_o soul_n die_v and_o perish_v with_o the_o body_n then_o at_o the_o resurrection_n the_o soul_n which_o rise_v can_v be_v the_o same_o with_o that_o which_o die_v but_o one_o new_o create_v for_o inform_v the_o rise_a body_n and_o

therefore_o if_o the_o soul_n have_v a_o real_a and_o true_a resurrection_n at_o the_o last_o day_n it_o must_v have_v have_v a_o true_a and_o real_a death_n perish_v or_o extinguishment_n before_o that_o time_n whence_o if_o it_o be_v to_o have_v a_o true_a and_o future_a resurrection_n it_o must_v die_v and_o perish_v with_o the_o body_n who_o amicable_a concomitant_a it_o always_o be_v both_o in_o the_o procreation_n at_o the_o birth_n in_o the_o life_n at_o the_o death_n and_o in_o the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o person_n and_o as_o to_o the_o sameness_n of_o that_o soul_n with_o that_o that_o perish_a at_o the_o death_n it_o shall_v be_v as_o much_o the_o same_o as_o the_o body_n rise_v shall_v be_v the_o same_o with_o that_o that_o die_v and_o herein_o i_o do_v further_o conceive_v that_o we_o can_v proper_o hold_v a_o discourse_n concern_v the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o body_n or_o the_o soul_n separately_z consider_v there_o be_v nothing_o either_o in_o reason_n or_o scripture_n upon_o which_o man_n can_v ground_v their_o apprehension_n of_o a_o resurrection_n of_o either_o of_o they_o separate_v from_o the_o other_o but_o if_o we_o will_v speak_v proper_o and_o true_o of_o the_o resurrection_n we_o must_v say_v with_o st._n paul_n 1_o cor._n 15._o that_o it_o be_v the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o dead_a not_o of_o the_o body_n or_o soul_n but_o of_o the_o

concern_v the_o soul_n which_o i_o conceive_v he_o pass_v as_o a_o necessary_a principle_n which_o must_v give_v life_n to_o the_o body_n and_o constitute_v the_o ra●sed_a person_n the_o apostle_n creed_n in_o our_o language_n deliver_v as_o a_o article_n of_o faith_n the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o body_n but_o in_o so_o do_v it_o the_o art_n from_o its_o original_n both_o of_o the_o greek_a and_o latin_a language_n in_o the_o express_a word_n of_o both_o which_o it_o be_v call_v and_o term_v the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o flesh_n i_o find_v no_o sufficient_a reason_n why_o this_o
