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.

abraham_n be_v dead_a and_o the_o prophet_n be_v dead_a what_o then_o why_o abraham_n have_v a_o son_n of_o his_o own_o beget_n at_o a_o hundred_o year_n old_a upon_o a_o woman_n of_o ninety_o have_v
