predicate_a do_v not_o live_v for_o ever_o there_o be_v a_o threefold_a life_n whereof_o we_o read_v in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n viz._n a_o temporal_a life_n or_o a_o life_n of_o nature_n a_o

which_o the_o saint_n shall_v live_v above_o will_v be_v of_o a_o everlasting_a duration_n but_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n in_o the_o word_n of_o my_o text_n speak_v of_o a_o temporal_a life_n or_o

upon_o a_o large_a discussion_n of_o this_o controversy_n at_o this_o time_n 2._o affirmative_o there_o be_v a_o two_o fold_v death_n which_o they_o who_o minister_v about_o holy_a thing_n be_v

of_o the_o body_n this_o be_v inseparable_a from_o a_o death_n of_o the_o man_n the_o soul_n be_v the_o principle_n of_o the_o body_n life_n and_o motion_n while_o it_o continue_v in_o it_o and_o therefore_o when_o it_o take_v its_o flight_n from_o it_o it_o cease_v to_o be_v a_o live_a creature_n and_o become_v a_o lifeless_a lump_n of_o clay_n this_o death_n of_o the_o body_n consist_v in_o a_o cessation_n of_o the_o circulation_n of_o the_o blood_n and_o spirit_n which_o be_v the_o animal_n soul_n of_o man_n thereby_o the_o body_n be_v deprive_v of_o its_o strength_n and_o vigour_n of_o its_o motion_n and_o activity_n and_o of_o its_o comeliness_n and_o beauty_n death_n make_v a_o great_a alteration_n in_o this_o curious_a structure_n it_o tie_v the_o most_o voluble_a tongue_n

to_o assign_v some_o general_a reason_n why_o minister_n must_v die_v as_o well_o as_o other_o man_n in_o general_n because_o it_o be_v appoint_v for_o all_o man_n once_o to_o die_v heb._n 9.27_o

sleep_v but_o be_v change_v it_o may_v be_v reply_v that_o some_o particular_a exception_n do_v not_o destroy_v a_o general_a rule_n beside_o the_o forementioned_a person_n either_o do_v or_o shall_v undergo_v a_o change_n equivalent_a to_o a_o death_n but_o more_o particular_o minister_n must_v die_v as_o well_o as_o other_o 1._o because_o they_o as_o well_o as_o other_o descend_v from_o the_o first_o adam_n by_o who_o transgression_n death_n be_v entail_v upon_o all_o
