first_o in_o that_o it_o be_v say_v god_n take_v he_o now_o this_o phrase_n of_o take_v away_o be_v use_v in_o scripture_n to_o set_v forth_o the_o bless_a departure_n of_o the_o saint_n out_o of_o this_o world_n by_o the_o ordinary_a way_n of_o dissolution_n thus_o isa_n 57_o 1._o merciful_a man_n be_v take_v away_o that_o be_v they_o die_v and_o job_n 32._o 22._o my_o maker_n will_v soon_o take_v i_o away_o that_o be_v he_o will_v take_v away_o my_o life_n he_o will_v kill_v i_o again_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o same_o scripture_n that_o enoch_n be_v not_o and_o this_o also_o be_v a_o phrase_n by_o which_o the_o scripture_n sometime_o point_v out_o the_o state_n of_o death_n so_o gen._n 42._o 36._o joseph_n be_v not_o and_o simeon_n be_v not_o that_o be_v they_o be_v both_o dead_a for_o so_o jacob_n at_o that_o time_n suppose_v they_o to_o be_v but_o this_o question_n be_v clear_o resolve_v by_o s._n paul_n in_o this_o scripture_n where_o he_o tell_v we_o plain_o enoch_n be_v

there_o be_v some_o here_o that_o shall_v not_o taste_v of_o death_n to_o see_v death_n and_o to_o taste_v of_o death_n be_v phrase_n borrow_v from_o two_o distinct_a sense_n but_o have_v both_o the_o

prevent_v death_n therefore_o we_o may_v observe_v that_o in_o gen._n 5._o where_o the_o life_n of_o the_o patriarch_n be_v record_v of_o all_o the_o rest_n who_o be_v mention_v both_o before_o and_o

not_o say_v he_o die_v but_o to_o show_v that_o he_o be_v a_o privilege_a person_n moses_n give_v he_o a_o singular_a and_o privilegiate_n expression_n god_n take_v he_o again_o whereas_o it_o be_v there_o further_o express_v he_o be_v not_o if_o we_o take_v the_o phrase_n in_o its_o full_a rigour_n it_o signify_v a_o absolute_a nullity_n or_o annihilation_n but_o here_o it_o be_v so_o far_o from_o intend_v a_o annihilation_n that_o it_o do_v not_o betoken_v so_o much_o as_o a_o ordinary_a extinction_n by_o death_n it_o be_v true_a that_o as_o the_o latin_n be_v wont_a to_o express_v death_n by_o the_o word_n fuit_fw-la so_o the_o hebrew_n by_o a_o non_fw-la fuit_fw-la but_o in_o this_o place_n it_o do_v not_o signify_v so_o much_o therefore_o s._n paul_n in_o this_o text_n
