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 potter_n who_o take_v no_o care_n to_o preserve_v his_o break_a pot_n for_o any_o other_o use_n of_o they_o because_o have_v the_o mould_v by_o he_o he_o can_v make_v several_a vessel_n of_o the_o same_o figure_n out_o of_o one_o earth_n as_o well_o as_o another_o and_o though_o all_o the_o vessel_n of_o the_o same_o mould_n be_v not_o the_o same_o in_o identity_n of_o matter_n yet_o be_v the_o same_o in_o form_n they_o be_v the_o same_o to_o all_o use_n intent_n and_o purpose_n and_o hence_o though_o the_o dead_a shall_v not_o arise_v with_o the_o same_o identity_n of_o matter_n with_o which_o they_o die_v yet_o be_v in_o the_o same_o form_n they_o will_v not_o know_v themselves_o from_o themselves_o be_v the_o same_o to_o all_o use_n intent_n and_o purpose_n but_o in_o this_o god_n 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 corruption_n that_o the_o form_n of_o it_o be_v not_o spoil_v god_n use_v that_o form_n again_o as_o it_o be_v without_o compose_v any_o other_o matter_n thus_o he_o do_v with_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n according_a to_o that_o promise_n thou_o will_v not_o leave_v my_o soul_n in_o grave_a nor_o suffer_v thy_o holy_a one_o to_o see_v corruption_n and_o thus_o christ_n do_v with_o the_o body_n he_o raise_v in_o the_o day_n of_o his_o flesh_n all_o which_o i_o instance_n still_o to_o show_v the_o insignificancy_n of_o death_n one_o way_n or_o other_o in_o order_n to_o eternal_a life_n and_o that_o the_o death_n of_o man_n work_v no_o change_n in_o he_o to_o make_v this_o still_o more_o plain_a consider_v when_o and_o where_o the_o predestination_n of_o god_n be_v execute_v upon_o man._n christ_n say_v rejoice_v in_o this_o that_o your_o name_n be_v write_v in_o the_o book_n of_o life_n which_o he_o will_v not_o have_v command_v man_n upon_o earth_n if_o the_o knowledge_n of_o it_o which_o seem_v to_o be_v the_o top_n of_o man_n ambition_n be_v not_o attainable_a here_o now_o this_o be_v part_n of_o the_o secret_a will_n of_o god_n as_o his_o own_o memorandum_n of_o what_o he_o intend_v to_o do_v it_o can_v be_v show_v to_o man_n by_o inspection_n but_o when_o god_n come_v to_o execute_v this_o secret_a will_n than_o it_o become_v part_n of_o his_o reveal_v will_n which_o belong_v to_o man_n secret_a thing_n belong_v to_o god_n but_o thing_n reveal_v to_o we_o and_o to_o our_o child_n and_o the_o time_n of_o the_o execution_n of_o this_o decree_n be_v the_o instance_n of_o our_o faith_n in_o christ_n as_o many_o as_o be_v ordain_v to_o eternal_a life_n believe_v we_o may_v by_o this_o be_v as_o sure_a that_o our_o name_n be_v write_v in_o the_o book_n of_o life_n as_o if_o we_o have_v write_v it_o with_o our_o own_o hand_n and_o that_o this_o instant_n of_o faith_n be_v the_o time_n of_o the_o execution_n of_o this_o decree_n appear_v by_o what_o christ_n say_v to_o the_o thief_n on_o the_o cross_n this_o day_n shall_v thou_o be_v with_o i_o in_o paradise_n from_o whence_o some_o think_v themselves_o oblige_v to_o believe_v a_o separate_a existence_n of_o the_o soul_n from_o the_o body_n by_o death_n for_o say_v they_o something_a of_o this_o man_n do_v immediate_o go_v into_o paradise_n and_o we_o see_v his_o body_n remain_v here_o ergo_fw-la his_o soul_n go_v whereas_o christ_n do_v not_o speak_v this_o of_o the_o person_n but_o the_o state_n of_o the_o man._n christ_n and_o he_o be_v both_o under_o the_o same_o state_n before_o they_o be_v execute_v which_o be_v the_o law_n of_o death_n and_o that_o very_a day_n they_o both_o exchange_v this_o state_n into_o the_o state_n of_o life_n christ_n by_o his_o own_o death_n and_o the_o man_n by_o faith_n in_o he_o though_o the_o person_n of_o christ_n go_v one_o way_n and_o his_o another_o so_o from_o the_o word_n of_o david_n thou_o will_v not_o leave_v my_o soul_n in_o grave_a there_o be_v a_o conception_n raise_v of_o the_o separate_a existence_n of_o the_o soul_n for_o think_v we_o the_o body_n of_o david_n be_v in_o the_o grave_a ergo_fw-la his_o soul_n be_v go_v to_o heaven_n by_o itself_o but_o peter_n evince_v this_o doctrine_n as_o erroneous_a by_o show_v that_o david_n speak_v prophetical_o of_o the_o resurrection_n of_o christ_n in_o which_o the_o word_n soul_n comprehend_v his_o whole_a human_a life_n which_o do_v die_v and_o rise_v together_o and_o that_o it_o be_v translate_v soul_n be_v a_o anglicism_n not_o understand_v in_o other_o language_n which_o have_v no_o other_o word_n for_o soul_n but_o the_o same_o which_o be_v for_o life_n as_o it_o be_v usual_a for_o some_o peculiar_a country_n to_o have_v a_o odd_a name_n for_o a_o common_a thing_n which_o be_v not_o vulgar_o know_v in_o any_o other_o part_n of_o the_o same_o kingdom_n see_v how_o man_n life_n come_v to_o he_o at_o first_o god_n first_o form_v the_o figure_n of_o man_n 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 now_o say_v which_o be_v spirit_n nor_o which_o be_v earth_n but_o the_o whole_a be_v one_o entire_a live_a creature_n as_o in_o levened_a dough_n we_o can_v say_v which_o be_v the_o leven_n nor_o which_o be_v the_o dough._n but_o god_n who_o first_o infuse_v this_o life_n can_v extract_v it_o out_o again_o and_o leave_v the_o body_n as_o it_o be_v before_o this_o life_n be_v thus_o put_v into_o it_o and_o this_o form_n of_o death_n god_n choose_v for_o man._n dust_n thou_o be_v and_o unto_o dust_n shall_v thou_o return_v god_n unmake_n man_n just_a as_o he_o make_v he_o he_o take_v he_o to_o piece_n like_o a_o joint_a tool_n he_o draw_v in_o his_o breath_n to_o himself_o and_o leave_v the_o lump_n to_o the_o element_n of_o which_o it_o be_v at_o first_o compose_v which_o by_o degree_n lose_v its_o very_a form_n and_o take_v its_o place_n again_o in_o common_a with_o other_o matter_n and_o thus_o the_o spirit_n return_v to_o god_n that_o give_v it_o for_o the_o remainder_n of_o the_o spirit_n be_v with_o he_o but_o in_o this_o return_n the_o spirit_n of_o man_n maintain_v no_o self-existence_n have_v surrender_v itself_o into_o the_o ocean_n of_o life_n from_o whence_o it_o first_o flow_v when_o river_n return_v into_o the_o sea_n they_o be_v no_o more_o river_n but_o lose_v their_o name_n and_o property_n be_v merge_v in_o the_o ocean_n of_o their_o original_a fountain_n and_o yet_o god_n do_v retain_v in_o his_o memory_n the_o particular_a character_n or_o idea_n of_o every_o instance_n of_o life_n which_o he_o do_v so_o extract_v from_o whence_o in_o the_o day_n of_o the_o restitution_n of_o all_o thing_n every_o body_n shall_v have_v its_o own_o spirit_n and_o every_o spirit_n it_o be_v own_o body_n but_o to_o return_v to_o my_o argument_n 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 become_v in_o the_o same_o state_n with_o he_o how_o come_v it_o that_o he_o lie_v still_o in_o the_o grave_a while_o christ_n be_v ascend_v into_o the_o heaven_n to_o this_o i_o say_v that_o though_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
