and_o therefore_o let_v we_o not_o think_v that_o when_o death_n come_v and_o separate_v the_o soul_n from_o the_o body_n that_o then_o the_o body_n do_v perish_v and_o be_v cast_v away_o no_o no_o

when_o christ_n jesus_n shall_v come_v to_o judgement_n it_o shall_v rise_v again_o for_o we_o must_v know_v that_o every_o true_a believer_n be_v make_v a_o member_n of_o christ_n and_o not_o only_o

55.6_o to_o seek_v the_o lord_n while_o he_o may_v be_v find_v and_o to_o call_v upon_o he_o while_o he_o be_v near_o now_o while_o we_o live_v jesus_n christ_n come_v unto_o we_o by_o his_o

the_o person_n it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v doubt_v but_o that_o saint_n john_n mean_v that_o all_o must_v come_v to_o judgement_n both_o great_a and_o small_a must_v stand_v before_o god_n but_o why_o

thousand_o year_n must_v come_v to_o judgement_n they_o must_v be_v call_v to_o account_v yea_o their_o old_a sin_n must_v be_v now_o bring_v to_o light_n for_o this_o be_v rhe_n wicked_a thought_n of_o many_o carnal_a man_n that_o when_o a_o man_n be_v dead_a he_o be_v well_o then_o all_o his_o sin_n die_v with_o he_o he_o be_v forget_v and_o his_o sin_n be_v not_o speak_v of_o but_o saint_n

at_o this_o day_n he_o shall_v be_v call_v to_o account_v so_o in_o our_o day_n many_o man_n think_v when_o they_o die_v their_o sin_n shall_v never_o be_v bring_v to_o light_v the_o usurer_n he_o

have_v be_v scatter_v who_o know_v whither_o how_o then_o be_v it_o possible_a for_o they_o to_o arise_v again_o indeed_o the_o profane_a atheist_n and_o filthy_a epicure_n be_v not_o ashamed_a â—o_o say_v that_o there_o shall_v be_v no_o resurrection_n but_o when_o a_o man_n die_v there_o be_v a_o end_n of_o all_o his_o joy_n and_o of_o all_o his_o misery_n but_o that_o the_o dead_a shall_v

wicked_a and_o ungodlie_a here_o to_o live_v at_o ease_n if_o there_o be_v not_o a_o time_n when_o they_o shall_v taste_v of_o vengeance_n therefore_o they_o must_v come_v to_o judgement_n they_o

saint_n paul_n do_v prove_v this_o with_o many_o reason_n 1_o cor._n 15._o if_o the_o dead_a rise_v not_o again_o then_o be_v not_o christ_n rise_v and_o if_o christ_n be_v not_o rise_v then_o be_v
