have_v give_v he_o authority_n to_o execute_v judgement_n also_o because_o he_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n we_o see_v all_o along_o here_o that_o the_o lord_n speak_v of_o his_o power_n and_o judgement_n when_o he_o again_o come_v and_o again_o he_o say_v marvel_v not_o at_o this_o for_o the_o hour_n be_v come_v in_o which_o all_o that_o be_v in_o their_o grave_n shall_v hear_v his_o voice_n and_o shall_v come_v forth_o they_o that_o have_v do_v good_a unto_o the_o resurrection_n of_o life_n and_o they_o that_o have_v do_v evil_a unto_o the_o resurrection_n of_o damnation_n here_o the_o lord_n speak_v in_o the_o scripture_n way_n of_o speak_v in_o that_o he_o so_o near_o join_v his_o come_n to_o judge_v the_o world_n with_o that_o last_o judgement_n like_o that_o of_o his_o join_v the_o destruction_n of_o jerusalem_n and_o of_o the_o world_n together_o according_a to_o which_o all_o the_o scripture_n be_v so_o join_v now_o these_o two_o judgement_n be_v clear_o to_o distinct_a thing_n for_o in_o the_o first_o it_o be_v say_v the_o dead_a shall_v hear_v the_o voice_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o it_o be_v those_o that_o do_v hear_v do_v live_v therefore_o this_o be_v at_o the_o first_o resurrection_n when_o the_o lord_n again_o come_v at_o which_o time_n all_o the_o promised_a elect_n shall_v be_v call_v in_o who_o he_o have_v promise_v mercy_n and_o with_o the_o dead_a body_n of_o the_o saint_n shall_v hear_v the_o voice_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o live_v and_o the_o other_o be_v the_o eternal_a judgement_n which_o be_v speak_v of_o in_o the_o revelation_n where_o it_o be_v say_v the_o sea_n and_o death_n and_o hell_n deliver_v up_o the_o dead_a as_o to_o what_o the_o lord_n say_v in_o john_n 5._o from_o the_o 20._o v._o to_o the_o 29._o v._o the_o lord_n there_o speak_v of_o the_o two_o judgement_n as_o i_o have_v elsewhere_o prove_v to_o you_o and_o therefore_o what_o he_o say_v in_o the_o 24._o v._n be_v concern_v they_o that_o be_v believer_n at_o his_o come_n that_o they_o have_v everlasting_a life_n and_o that_o they_o shall_v not_o come_v into_o condemnation_n but_o where_o the_o lord_n say_v 6.47_o john_n 6.47_o very_o very_o i_o say_v unto_o you_o he_o that_o believe_v on_o i_o have_v everlasting_a life_n and_o the_o apostle_n also_o say_v 5.11,12,13_o 1_o john_n 5.11,12,13_o this_o be_v the_o record_n that_o god_n have_v give_v we_o eternal_a life_n and_o this_o life_n be_v in_o his_o son_n he_o that_o have_v the_o son_n have_v life_n and_o he_o that_o have_v not_o the_o son_n of_o god_n have_v not_o life_n these_o thing_n have_v i_o write_v unto_o you_o that_o believe_v on_o the_o name_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n that_o you_o may_v know_v that_o you_o have_v eternal_a life_n that_o be_v god_n have_v renew_v we_o in_o christ_n and_o give_v we_o eternal_a life_n by_o he_o if_o we_o be_v true_a believer_n and_o what_o that_o belief_n be_v that_o be_v require_v of_o we_o i_o have_v elsewhere_o prove_v to_o you_o but_o the_o everlasting_a life_n that_o be_v give_v the_o believer_n be_v as_o it_o be_v give_v adam_n in_o paradise_n the_o which_o be_v as_o long_o as_o he_o continue_v in_o his_o obedience_n and_o so_o it_o be_v with_o we_o the_o which_o the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n do_v full_o explain_v where_o he_o say_v 8.51_o john_n 8.51_o very_o very_o i_o say_v unto_o you_o if_o a_o man_n keep_v my_o say_n he_o shall_v never_o see_v death_n and_o christ_n say_v again_o 15.9,10,11,12_o john_n 15.9,10,11,12_o as_o the_o father_n have_v love_v i_o so_o have_v i_o love_v you_o continue_v you_o in_o my_o love_n if_o you_o keep_v my_o commandment_n you_o shall_v abide_v in_o my_o love_n even_o as_o i_o keep_v my_o father_n commandment_n and_o abide_v in_o his_o love_n these_o thing_n have_v i_o speak_v unto_o you_o that_o my_o joy_n may_v remain_v in_o you_o and_o that_o your_o joy_n may_v be_v full_a this_o be_v my_o commandment_n that_o you_o love_v one_o another_o as_o i_o have_v love_v you_o by_o all_o this_o we_o plain_o see_v that_o the_o eternal_a life_n give_v the_o believer_n be_v they_o no_o long_o than_o they_o persist_v in_o their_o obedience_n so_o adam_n eternal_a life_n that_o he_o have_v give_v he_o in_o paradise_n be_v lose_v by_o his_o offend_n for_o have_v he_o persist_v in_o his_o obedience_n he_o have_v never_o dye_v and_o as_o i_o have_v already_o prove_v to_o you_o that_o if_o we_o be_v regenerate_v so_o as_o our_o will_n be_v bring_v over_o into_o a_o entire_a resignation_n of_o ourselves_o to_o god_n and_o christ_n than_o we_o be_v accept_v of_o he_o and_o then_o be_v the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n impute_v to_o we_o but_o it_o be_v afterward_o there_o come_v a_o day_n of_o trial_n either_o by_o temptation_n or_o affliction_n or_o a_o cloudy_a dark_a day_n may_v overtake_v we_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v best_o for_o every_o true_a christian_a to_o arm_n themselves_o for_o the_o worst_a that_o they_o may_v be_v able_a to_o stand_v in_o the_o evil_a day_n so_o whilst_o we_o continue_v in_o our_o obedience_n the_o perfect_a righteousness_n of_o christ_n be_v impute_v to_o we_o and_o then_o as_o the_o apostle_n say_v be_v we_o complete_a in_o he_o and_o afterward_o what_o sin_n be_v not_o wilful_o commit_v will_v not_o destroy_v we_o because_o christ_n be_v our_o advocate_n with_o

perfect_a righteousness_n of_o christ_n impute_v to_o we_o for_o it_o be_v say_v we_o be_v complete_a in_o he_o he_o that_o commit_v sin_n be_v of_o the_o devil_n for_o the_o devil_n sin_v from_o the_o beginning_n for_o this_o purpose_n the_o son_n of_o god_n be_v manifest_a that_o be_v may_v destroy_v the_o work_n of_o the_o devil_n that_o be_v he_o that_o wilful_o commit_v sin_n be_v of_o the_o devil_n for_o the_o devil_n commit_v no_o sin_n but_o what_o he_o commit_v wilful_o and_o the_o apostle_n say_v 1.6,7,8,9_o 1_o john_n 1.6,7,8,9_o if_o we_o say_v we_o have_v fellowship_n with_o he_o and_o walk_v in_o darkness_n we_o lie_v and_o do_v not_o the_o truth_n but_o if_o we_o walk_v in_o the_o light_n as_o he_o be_v in_o the_o light_n we_o have_v fellowship_n one_o with_o another_o and_o the_o blood_n of_o jesus_n christ_n his_o son_n cleanse_v we_o from_o all_o sin_n this_o be_v that_o which_o make_v we_o appear_v clean_a and_o white_a in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n but_o he_o say_v again_o if_o we_o say_v we_o have_v no_o sin_n we_o deceive_v ourselves_o and_o the_o truth_n be_v not_o in_o we_o for_o we_o can_v live_v without_o sin_n as_o sin_n of_o infirmity_n and_o sin_n of_o ignorance_n and_o too_o often_o overtake_v in_o the_o sin_n of_o negligence_n and_o sometime_o overtake_v with_o the_o sin_n of_o surprisal_n therefore_o he_o say_v in_o the_o 9_o v._n if_o we_o confess_v our_o sin_n he_o be_v faithful_a and_o just_a to_o forgive_v we_o our_o sin_n and_o to_o cleanse_v we_o from_o all_o unrighteouness_n that_o be_v all_o our_o unrighteousness_n upon_o our_o conversion_n be_v forgive_v if_o we_o seek_v to_o god_n by_o confession_n and_o contrition_n and_o whereas_o the_o lord_n say_v in_o mat._n 5.46,47,48_o for_o if_o you_o love_v they_o which_o love_v you_o what_o reward_n have_v you_o do_v not_o even_o the_o publican_n the_o same_o and_o if_o you_o salute_v your_o brethren_n only_o what_o do_v you_o more_o than_o other_o do_v not_o even_o the_o

as_o god_n be_v sincere_a or_o perfect_a in_o his_o love_n to_o you_o in_o that_o he_o give_v the_o son_n of_o his_o love_n for_o you_o according_a to_o his_o promise_n and_o in_o luke_n 17.5,6_o and_o the_o apostle_n say_v unto_o the_o lord_n increase_v our_o faith_n and_o the_o lord_n say_v if_o you_o have_v faith_n as_o a_o grain_n of_o mustardseed_n you_o may_v say_v to_o this_o sycamine_n

for_o they_o it_o be_v fore-ordained_n by_o he_o that_o in_o good_a work_n they_o shall_v walk_v before_o he_o now_o these_o place_n be_v not_o fit_o appliable_a to_o we_o for_o it_o be_v evident_a
