it properly relateth or if you had rather cause clean paper to be bound between every leaf to receive such Comments Or which is better have plenty of white Paper bound at the end of the Book in which write your Interpretation and relate them to the text by like numbers or letters prefixed before the Notes and Text. CHAP. V Of remembring long Speeches NOw lastly I will treat of Speeches A speech according to my acceptation is any large Treatise composed of many sentences of one kind such are Sermons Orations Declarations Heads or Sections of Books or finally any long Treatise or memorable Speeches are either such as are framed by our selves or by others Again Speeches of other men are either extant in Books or are delivered by word of mouth If the Speeches to be remembred are already extant in print it is sufficient to set down their Titles in your Common-place-Book under their proper Heads to advertise you in what Chapter or part of a Book this or that Argument is more largely handled As for example In the first Book of Calvin's Institutions and thirteenth Chapter the three persons of the Godhead in one Essence is proved by divers reasons to transcribe which Treatise though in Epitome would be very laborious Therefore it is better under the title of Trinity among other common observations pertaining to the same purpose to write down these words That three Persons are contained in one onely Essence of God Cal. Institut Lib. 1. Cap. 13. By which Citation you are directed to that place of Calvin whensoever you please If the Speech you desire to preserve be verbally pronounced you must take it in short-hand if you have skill otherwise in long hand with as much celerity as you can If you be at any time left behind through nimble volubility of the Speakers tongue it will be sufficient to write onely the essential words of every Sentence as for the most part are Substantives and Verbs leaving vacant spaces in which either words of less weight may be interposed which must be supplyed immediately after the Speech is ended Four things must be observed that speeches contrived by our selves may be deeply fastened in memory Method Writing Marginal Notation and Meditation the Method ought to be so disposed that every part of an entire Speech and every sentence of those parts precede according to their dignity in nature that is that every thing be so placed that it may give light to understand what followeth Such a method is very effectual to ease the memory both of Speaker and Hearer for in a speech methodically digested each sentence attracteth the next like as one link draweth another in a Golden Chain therefore Method is called the Chain of Memory For this cause let every former sentence so depend on the latter that it may seem necessarily related thereunto In writing a Speech let your first care be that your Lines extend not too far but that space enough be left in the Margent In the next place that your whole speech be distinguished into heads for a distinct mind apprehendeth better then one confused After you have compiled a Speech you are shortly to deliver do not transcribe it though it be both blotted and interlined lest you lose as much time in new Writing as would suffice to learn it Besides the blots and interlining do more firmly fasten in mind the sentences so blotted and interlined then if they were otherwise This is also to be noted that although it be necessary to write over the intire Speech or at least brief notes thereof before it be publikely pronounced yet ought that Transcription by no means to be seen publikely unless Memory languish and be weak For the mind doth better recollect it self in the absence of Notes and by united force is better prepared to speak Marginal Notation is when one or two chief words of every sentence is placed in the Margent which so soon as seen which is with the least cast of an eye revoketh the whole sentence to mind As if this ensuing small Treatise of the Resurrection were to be learned by heart I distinguish the sentences thereof by words placed in the Margent by which means they are speedily remembred That there shall be a Resurrection of the dead at the last day is confirmed by these reasons Because it is imperfect First that which is imperfect is uncapable of perfect felicity in its kind but the soul separate from the body is imperfect and therefore not capable of perfect felicity Thence followeth a necessity of the Bodies Resurrection that by the conjunction thereof with the Soul the Elect may enjoy perfect felicity How are they happy Tertullian saith Tertullian if they shall perish in part Seals of Salvation Secondly If the Body by Christs command ought to be as well partaker of the seals of salvation as the Soul then it shall as well participate of Eternal Salvation but the Body according to Christs institution ought to partake of the seals of salvation For the Body is washed with water of Baptism and nourished by Bread and Wine in the Lords Supper Ergo c. As Seeds Thirdly Like as Seeds cast into the Earth dye and revive again so humane bodies buried in the ground dissolved and corrupted shall rise again at the last day by the quickening virtue of Christ Paul brandeth him with folly 1 Cor. 13.35 who cannot conclude the resurrection of the dead out of the vivification of Seeds buried in the ground 1 Cor. 13.35 whence Augustine Augustine He which vivisieth dead and putrified Seeds by which men live in this world more facilely will raise you up to live eternally Revolution of things Fourthly The Revolution of all things is an argument of the Resurrection as Day followeth night Waking Sleep Rest Labor and Winter Summer so Life followeth death and Resurrection Sepulture That which Tertullian speaketh in his Book Of the Resurrection of the flesh Tertullian is pertinent hereto Day saith he dyeth into night yet is enlivened again with glorie all over the world Fiftly It is evidently proved by the Resurrection of Christ seeing Christ which is our head is already risen it is a testimony that we also who are his members shall live after death Where the head is thither will the members be gathered Christ our head 1 Cor. 15.20 in this respect Christ is termed the first fruits of the dead 1 Cor. 15.20 Resurrection of others Sixthly The particular Resurrection of some to a temporal life in this world was a sign of the general Resurrection to eternal life to be at the end of the world These were raised again after death 1.
