live_v in_o this_o present_a life_n as_o dead_a and_o raise_v up_o begin_v even_o now_o to_o live_v a_o life_n much_o like_o unto_o that_o which_o they_o have_v to_o live_v in_o life_n everlasting_a in_o such_o manner_n that_o as_o the_o vivification_n be_v a_o imperfect_a resurrection_n so_o the_o christian_a live_v in_o the_o state_n of_o this_o vivification_n be_v imperfect_a albeit_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o live_n in_o the_o state_n of_o depravation_n it_o be_v most_o perfect_a and_o the_o draught_n of_o live_v in_o the_o state_n of_o the_o resurrection_n in_o as_o much_o as_o it_o

thing_n the_o one_o that_o sinee_n a_o man_n believe_v the_o evil_a of_o adam_n free_v himself_o from_o it_o and_o believe_v the_o good_a of_o christ_n enjoy_v it_o it_o belong_v to_o every_o one_o to_o believe_v this_o evil_a and_o this_o good_a not_o expect_v for_o all_o that_o to_o feel_v it_o that_o he_o may_v believe_v it_o for_o this_o be_v to_o pervert_v the_o order_n which_o god_n have_v set_v who_o will_v that_o we_o shall_v believe_v before_o we_o feel_v but_o believe_v that_o he_o may_v feel_v it_o for_o believe_v together_o both_o the_o evil_a and_o the_o good_a the_o efficacy_n of_o the_o good_a will_v deprive_v we_o of_o the_o feel_n of_o the_o evil_a in_o this_o present_a life_n in_o part_n and_o altogether_o in_o life_n eternal_a in_o as_o much_o as_o we_o shall_v be_v then_o altogether_o free_a from_o the_o evil_a of_o adam_n and_o altogether_o intent_n to_o enjoy_v the_o good_a of_o christ._n the_o other_o thing_n which_o i_o here_o learn_v be_v that_o they_o who_o in_o this_o present_a life_n do_v not_o give_v themselves_o to_o live_v as_o dead_a and_o raise_v up_o imitate_v the_o life_n of_o christ_n do_v not_o believe_v that_o they_o die_v in_o adam_n and_o that_o they_o rise_v again_o in_o christ_n how_o much_o soever_o they_o say_v and_o affirm_v to_o believe_v both_o the_o one_o and_o the_o other_o thing_n for_o if_o they_o do_v believe_v they_o there_o be_v no_o doubt_n but_o they_o will_v apply_v themselves_o to_o live_v as_o dead_a and_o raise_v up_o this_o be_v proper_o the_o efficacy_n of_o faith_n to_o reduce_v by_o little_a and_o little_o they_o that_o believe_v in_o truth_n to_o be_v dead_a in_o adam_n and_o raise_v up_o in_o christ_n to_o live_v as_o dead_a and_o as_o raise_v up_o not_o because_o they_o intend_v to_o become_v just_a but_o because_o they_o do_v now_o know_v and_o feel_v themselves_o just_a in_o christ_n and_o because_o they_o hope_v for_o the_o crown_n of_o justice_n that_o be_v immortality_n and_o life_n eternal_a and_o here_o i_o will_v add_v this_o that_o as_o the_o acceptation_n of_o the_o indulgence_n which_o a_o king_n make_v unto_o they_o that_o be_v flee_v for_o some_o excess_n out_o of_o his_o kingdom_n remain_v in_o the_o service_n of_o another_o king_n be_v efficatious_a to_o make_v they_o that_o leave_v the_o strange_a kingdom_n and_o the_o service_n of_o the_o strange_a

of_o the_o world_n and_o the_o live_a according_a to_o the_o flesh_n give_v testimony_n of_o themselves_o that_o they_o have_v not_o well_o accept_v the_o gospel_n however_o much_o they_o say_v to_o
