thousand_o year_n be_v finish_v because_o the_o dead_a saint_n be_v more_o alive_a than_o the_o dead_a wicked_a for_o the_o dead_a saint_n while_o dead_a be_v alive_a not_o only_o in_o their_o

that_o the_o first_o resurrection_n be_v any_o where_o put_v to_o signify_v mere_o the_o sole_a act_n or_o condition_n of_o our_o first_o regeneration_n i_o well_o remember_v those_o text_n col._n 3.1_o if_o you_o be_v rise_v with_o christ_n seek_v those_o thing_n that_o be_v above_o and_o ephes_n 2.5_o when_o we_o be_v dead_a in_o sin_n god_n have_v quicken_v we_o together_o with_o christ_n

as_o well_o as_o of_o their_o conversion_n as_o divers_a pious_a learn_v conceive_v nor_o do_v the_o apostle_n here_o use_v the_o word_n resurrection_n much_o less_o first_o resurrection_n i_o be_o also_o at_o a_o great_a loss_n how_o regeneration_n can_v handsome_o be_v clothe_v with_o the_o relation_n of_o a_o resurrection_n or_o live_v again_o according_a to_o scripture-phrase_n for_o there_o
