A75693	An argument proving, that according to the covenant of eternal life revealed in the Scriptures, man may be translated from hence into that eternal life, without passing through death altho the humane nature of Christ himself could not be thus translated till he had passed through death.	Asgill, John, 1659-1738.	1700 (1700)	Wing A3926; ESTC R208477	45,123	107

character_n of_o they_o which_o remain_v with_o he_o god_n be_v able_a out_o of_o these_o stone_n to_o raise_v up_o child_n unto_o abraham_n and_o in_o this_o he_o resemble_v himself_o to_o a_o

be_v so_o curious_a a_o artist_n that_o he_o keep_v a_o several_a character_n in_o heaven_n for_o every_o figure_n of_o man_n on_o earth_n by_o which_o as_o the_o apostle_n say_v every_o seed_n shall_v receive_v its_o own_o body_n whereas_o we_o like_a fac-simile_n mechanic_n make_v one_o mould_n serve_v for_o a_o thousand_o figure_n but_o then_o as_o god_n in_o the_o resurrection_n be_v not_o bind_v up_o to_o use_v the_o same_o matter_n neither_o be_v he_o oblige_v to_o use_v a_o different_a matter_n whenever_o the_o body_n to_o be_v raise_v do_v remain_v so_o entire_a from_o

body_n in_o common_a earth_n from_o whence_o man_n also_o form_v figure_n of_o one_o another_o then_o to_o this_o figure_n god_n add_v life_n by_o breathe_v it_o into_o he_o from_o himself_o whereby_o this_o inanimate_a body_n become_v a_o live_a one_o but_o in_o this_o composition_n the_o spirit_n be_v so_o perfect_o mix_v with_o and_o diffuse_v through_o the_o whole_a body_n that_o we_o can_v

whence_o i_o have_v a_o little_a digress_v to_o descant_v upon_o this_o opinion_n of_o the_o self-existence_n of_o the_o soul_n if_o this_o man_n that_o be_v crucify_v with_o christ_n do_v immediate_o

this_o man_n first_o faith_n do_v thus_o qualify_v he_o for_o a_o change_n of_o state_n yet_o he_o have_v not_o proceed_v far_o enough_o in_o this_o faith_n to_o qualify_v himself_o for_o a_o immediate_a tanslation_n of_o his_o person_n but_o this_o he_o must_v expect_v with_o the_o rest_n of_o they_o who_o have_v die_v in_o the_o same_o faith_n with_o he_o and_o who_o will_v not_o now_o attain_v that_o perfection_n till_o after_o the_o resurrection_n for_o there_o be_v no_o work_n in_o the_o grave_a man_n be_v as_o safe_a upon_o his_o first_o faith_n in_o

that_o he_o will_v only_o forbear_v one_o common_a tree_n for_o it_o seem_v to_o be_v no_o more_o till_o it_o become_v otherwise_o by_o his_o eat_n of_o it_o withal_o tell_v he_o that_o if_o he_o do_v eat_v of_o it_o his_o life_n shall_v go_v for_o it_o not_o that_o god_n think_v his_o life_n satisfaction_n but_o it_o be_v all_o the_o satisfaction_n god_n can_v have_v of_o he_o it_o be_v rather_o a_o resentment_n of_o the_o affront_n than_o any_o satisfaction_n for_o it_o by_o which_o god_n show_v that_o if_o man_n have_v have_v more_o than_o his_o life_n to_o give_v god_n will_v have_v have_v it_o of_o he_o and_o therefore_o to_o signify_v the_o height_n of_o this_o resentment_n god_n raise_v man_n from_o the_o dead_a to_o demand_v further_a satisfaction_n of_o he_o death_n be_v a_o

the_o sea_n to_o give_v up_o their_o dead_a to_o remove_v the_o body_n with_o the_o cause_n of_o their_o commitment_n and_o as_o these_o cause_n shall_v appear_v they_o shall_v either_o be_v release_v or_o else_o sentence_v to_o the_o common_a goal_n of_o hell_n there_o to_o remain_v until_o satisfaction_n such_o be_v the_o resentment_n of_o despise_a love_n and_o yet_o this_o be_v a_o resentment_n

of_o his_o word_n he_o can_v not_o falsify_v that_o to_o gratify_v his_o own_o affection_n and_o thus_o he_o bear_v the_o passion_n of_o his_o own_o law_n till_o he_o have_v find_v out_o a_o salvo_n for_o his_o honour_n by_o that_o son_n of_o man_n who_o give_v he_o satisfaction_n all_o at_o once_o by_o the_o dignity_n of_o his_o person_n personal_a satisfaction_n by_o the_o law_n of_o honour_n be_v esteem_v sufficient_a or_o not_o sufficient_a according_a to_o the_o equality_n or_o inequality_n between_o the_o person_n who_o give_v and_o take_v the_o affront_n therefore_o god_n to_o
