A79837	A full discovery and confutation of the wicked and damnable doctrines of the Quakers. As also, a plain vindication and confirmation of sundry fundamental points of the Christian religion, denyed or corrupted by the enemies of the truth in these times. Published for the benefit of such weak Christians, who are not so able to discover and oppugne the dangerous doctrines of subtil seducers when coloured over with fair words and pretences, and so are more apt to be taken in their snares. Whereunto is annexed an excellent discourse proving that singing of Psalmes is not only lawful, but an ordinance of God. / By Jonathan Clapham, a servant of Christ in the work and labour of the Gospel at Wramplingham in Norff.	Clapham, Jonathan.	1656 (1656)	Wing C4407; Thomason E498_7; ESTC R206047	81,821	100

they_o which_o shall_v be_v alive_a at_o the_o day_n of_o the_o lord_n i._o he_o prove_v the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o dead_a and_o he_o evidence_n that_o by_o six_o argument_n 1_o from_o the_o resurrection_n of_o jesus_n christ_n from_o v._o 3._o to_o 19_o for_o if_o there_o be_v no_o resurrection_n of_o the_o dead_a then_o be_v christ_n not_o rise_v but_o say_v he_o christ_n be_v rise_v therefore_o must_v the_o dead_a rise_n by_o virtue_n of_o their_o union_n with_o he_o now_o that_o christ_n be_v rise_v he_o confirm_v from_o the_o testimony_n of_o the_o scripture_n ver_fw-la 4._o the_o apostle_n name_v not_o what_o scripture_n but_o it_o be_v clear_a he_o intend_v psal_n 16.8_o and_o such_o like_a place_n then_o from_o those_o many_o witness_n that_o see_v he_o verse_n 5_o 6_o 7_o 8._o then_o from_o the_o evil_a consequence_n that_o will_v follow_v if_o christ_n rise_v not_o the_o apostle_n shall_v be_v false_a witness_n and_o their_o preach_n in_o vain_a and_o the_o corinthian_n faith_n shall_v be_v in_o vain_a they_o shall_v be_v yet_o in_o their_o sin_n and_o they_o that_o be_v fall_v asleep_o shall_v be_v perish_v 2_o he_o prove_v the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o dead_a body_n because_o if_o it_o be_v not_o so_o christian_n shall_v be_v of_o all_o man_n most_o miserable_a verse_n 19_o 3_o he_o argue_v that_o all_o enemy_n must_v be_v overcome_v therefore_o death_n and_o if_o so_o we_o must_v rise_v again_o 4_o he_o argue_v it_o from_o a_o practice_n among_o those_o person_n that_o deny_v the_o resurrection_n probable_o the_o corinthian_n those_o ancient_a heretic_n who_o be_v baptize_v for_o the_o dead_a verse_n 20._o and_o therefore_o their_o own_o practice_n may_v confute_v they_o 5_o he_o argue_v it_o from_o the_o danger_n and_o suffering_n of_o the_o saint_n verse_n 30_o etc._n etc._n which_o they_o will_v not_o endure_v if_o there_o be_v no_o resurrection_n and_o reward_n after_o death_n heb._n 11.36_o 6_o the_o deny_v the_o resurrection_n he_o show_v will_v lead_v to_o all_o epicurism_n and_o licentiousness_n then_o may_v we_o say_v let_v we_o eat_v and_o drink_v for_o to_o morrow_n we_o shall_v die_v thus_o he_o confirm_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o resurrection_n of_o our_o dead_a body_n the_o 2d._o thing_n in_o this_o chapter_n be_v to_o show_v with_o what_o body_n the_o dead_a arise_v ii_o ii_o verse_n 35._o he_o answer_v in_o the_o follow_a verse_n not_o with_o such_o vile_a weak_a corruptible_a body_n as_o now_o we_o have_v but_o with_o incorruptible_a powerful_a glorious_a and_o spiritual_a body_n so_o phil._n 3.21_o our_o vile_a body_n shall_v be_v fashion_v like_o to_o the_o glorious_a body_n of_o christ_n himself_o and_o it_o follow_v as_o a_o reason_n of_o this_o change_n ver_fw-la 50._o flesh_n and_o blood_n shall_v not_o inherit_v the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n nor_o can_v corruption_n inherit_v incorruption_n where_o observe_v the_o apostle_n do_v not_o overthrow_v what_o he_o before_o have_v build_v that_o be_v he_o do_v not_o deny_v the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o dead_a body_n that_o it_o shall_v not_o rise_v at_o all_o as_o these_o deceiver_n will_v infer_v but_o it_o shall_v not_o rise_v in_o such_o a_o vile_a corruptible_a abject_a condition_n it_o be_v not_o capable_a of_o the_o glory_n of_o heaven_n then_o that_o this_o be_v the_o mind_n of_o the_o apostle_n in_o these_o word_n appear_v in_o that_o the_o apostle_n do_v not_o contradict_v himself_o and_o destroy_v what_o he_o have_v before_o build_v now_o have_v before_o prove_v the_o body_n shall_v arise_v again_o he_o do_v not_o here_o deny_v it_o only_o he_o show_v it_o shall_v not_o arise_v in_o such_o a_o abject_a and_o base_a condition_n as_o now_o it_o be_v in_o but_o in_o a_o more_o glorious_a condition_n and_o so_o he_o fit_o answer_v the_o question_n propound_v v._o 35._o with_o what_o body_n the_o dead_a shall_v arise_v it_o be_v also_o considerable_a that_o the_o word_n flesh_n be_v not_o in_o scripture_n always_o put_v for_o the_o substance_n of_o man_n body_n for_o the_o substance_n consist_v of_o flesh_n blood_n and_o bone_n but_o frequent_o for_o the_o infirm_a weak_a state_n and_o condition_n of_o man_n as_o esay_n 31_o 3._o 1_o pet._n 1.24_o and_o thus_o the_o latter_a part_n of_o the_o verse_n show_v it_o be_v to_o be_v take_v here_o corruption_n shall_v not_o inherit_v incorruption_n corrupt_v frail_a flesh_n can_v inherit_v heaven_n it_o must_v be_v make_v a_o glorious_a spiritual_a body_n for_o its_o quality_n and_o condition_n when_o it_o be_v raise_v up_o again_o that_o so_o it_o may_v be_v capable_a of_o the_o happiness_n of_o heaven_n iii_o the_o three_o thing_n the_o apostle_n do_v in_o this_o chapter_n be_v he_o show_v what_o shall_v become_v of_o they_o that_o shall_v be_v alive_a at_o the_o day_n of_o the_o lord_n v._o 51._o they_o shall_v not_o fall_v asleep_o but_o be_v change_v or_o translate_v into_o a_o state_n of_o incorruption_n and_o immortality_n as_o it_o befall_v enoch_n and_o eliah_n in_o former_a time_n this_o also_o confirm_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o resurrection_n because_o those_o body_n that_o shall_v survive_v at_o the_o last_o day_n shall_v not_o be_v annihilate_v but_o only_o change_v what_o clear_a testimony_n can_v be_v give_v to_o this_o truth_n than_o we_o have_v in_o this_o one_o chapter_n many_o other_o place_n may_v be_v add_v as_o act_n 23.6_o &_o 24.15_o 1_o thes_n 4.13_o etc._n etc._n phil._n 3.20.21_o rev._n 12._o with_o other_o more_o but_o these_o may_v suffice_v but_o some_o object_n this_o be_v a_o thing_n impossible_a how_o can_v the_o dead_a body_n when_o consume_v to_o ash_n or_o dust_n and_o this_o drive_v away_o by_o the_o wind_n and_o scatter_v be_v raise_v up_o again_o the_o selfsame_a body_n for_o substance_n or_o when_o a_o body_n shall_v be_v eat_v by_o wild_a beast_n or_o fish_n and_o they_o again_o eat_v by_o man_n or_o by_o other_o creature_n and_o their_o substance_n mingle_v and_o confound_v how_o can_v these_o ever_o be_v distinguish_v and_o the_o selfsame_o body_n that_o die_v
