sort_n do_v appertain_v unto_o the_o soul_n namely_o in_o that_o respect_n that_o by_o the_o resurrection_n it_o be_v restore_v again_o unto_o the_o body_n that_o be_v unto_o his_o proper_a instrument_n 5_o here_o it_o be_v also_o gather_v that_o the_o same_o very_a body_n which_o be_v lay_v in_o the_o grave_n rise_v again_o 6_o the_o resurrection_n do_v abolish_v none_o of_o the_o essential_a quality_n of_o the_o body_n of_o which_o sort_n be_v to_o have_v a_o quantity_n and_o to_o be_v finite_a whence_o follow_v that_o it_o be_v also_o enclose_v within_o the_o compass_n of_o the_o member_n thereof_o and_o be_v contain_v in_o a_o place_n we_o do_v condemn_v therefore_o the_o eutychian_o who_o hold_v that_o he_o have_v a_o body_n that_o be_v not_o bodily_a and_o the_o valentinian_o who_o say_v that_o it_o be_v a_o airy_n body_n and_o the_o marcionite_n who_o turn_v his_o true_a body_n unto_o a_o shadow_n both_o before_o and_o after_o the_o resurrection_n 7_o by_o the_o same_o reason_n also_o do_v fall_v to_o the_o ground_n that_o invent_a forgery_n both_o of_o transubstantiation_n and_o consubstantiation_n as_o be_v altogether_o repugnant_a unto_o the_o truth_n of_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n 8_o christ_n be_v the_o first_o that_o rise_v have_v swallow_v up_o mortality_n and_o remoove_v at_o once_o all_o the_o infirmity_n of_o the_o natural_a life_n from_o himself_o although_o that_o after_o his_o resurrection_n he_o do_v true_o eat_v and_o drink_v that_o he_o may_v make_v we_o full_o assure_v that_o he_o take_v upon_o he_o again_o a_o true_a body_n 9_o christ_n which_o be_v proper_a to_o he_o alone_o rise_v again_o by_o the_o power_n of_o his_o own_o deity_n and_o not_o by_o any_o borrow_a strength_n or_o by_o the_o force_n of_o any_o creature_n therefore_o his_o resurrection_n be_v a_o most_o true_a demonstration_n that_o he_o be_v trulie_o god_n 10_o there_o be_v great_a cause_n why_o christ_n shall_v rise_v the_o three_o day_n and_o not_o before_o lest_o that_o if_o he_o have_v rise_v soon_o his_o death_n shall_v have_v seem_v to_o be_v but_o feign_v or_o if_o he_o have_v stay_v long_o in_o the_o grave_n the_o faith_n of_o the_o elect_a may_v have_v be_v hazard_v 11_o the_o resurrection_n of_o christ_n be_v necessary_a to_o the_o accomplish_n of_o our_o salvation_n because_o that_o as_o it_o behoove_v he_o to_o suffer_v the_o death_n due_a unto_o our_o sin_n so_o also_o it_o be_v needful_a that_o death_n shall_v be_v overcome_v by_o he_o that_o he_o may_v bring_v we_o unto_o eternal_a life_n be_v deliver_v from_o mortality_n 12_o it_o be_v agreeable_a also_o unto_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n that_o christ_n shall_v enjoy_v eternal_a glory_n even_o by_o the_o condition_n of_o the_o legal_a covenant_n which_o be_v do_v this_o and_o live_v 13_o the_o resurrection_n of_o christ_n be_v a_o sure_a pillar_n of_o our_o resurrection_n because_o the_o church_n be_v as_o it_o be_v the_o complement_n or_o fill_v up_o of_o christ_n and_o therefore_o take_v away_o that_o head_n of_o christian_a religion_n vain_a be_v the_o preach_n of_o the_o gospel_n therefore_o we_o detest_v from_o our_o heart_n the_o saducee_n and_o all_o philosopher_n that_o have_v deny_v the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o flesh_n 14_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o resurrection_n have_v be_v continual_o hold_v in_o the_o church_n of_o god_n the_o which_o also_o though_o it_o do_v depend_v upon_o the_o omnipotency_n of_o god_n only_o may_v yet_o in_o some_o sort_n by_o lay_v down_o some_o sure_a ground_n and_o principle_n be_v probable_o gather_v by_o human_a reason_n 15_o our_o body_n shall_v not_o be_v two_o in_o number_n after_o the_o resurrection_n but_o the_o very_a same_o body_n that_o lie_v down_o in_o the_o grave_n shall_v rise_v again_o the_o opinion_n therefore_o which_o john_n the_o bishop_n of_o jerusalem_n hold_v concern_v the_o take_n up_o of_o a_o other_o body_n be_v worthy_o condemn_v 16_o the_o resurrection_n of_o christ_n do_v proper_o belong_v unto_o the_o elect_a see_v the_o wicked_a be_v to_o rise_v again_o not_o by_o the_o virtue_n of_o his_o resurrection_n but_o by_o the_o just_a judgement_n of_o god_n unto_o eternal_a damnation_n even_o by_o the_o force_n of_o that_o penalty_n which_o god_n add_v unto_o the_o commandment_n he_o give_v to_o adam_n the_o day_n that_o thou_o shall_v eat_v thou_o shall_v die_v the_o death_n even_o the_o first_o and_o the_o second_o death_n 17_o it_o be_v no_o wonderful_a case_n that_o christ_n after_o his_o resurrection_n do_v not_o open_o manifest_v himself_o unto_o all_o man_n for_o as_o there_o be_v a_o time_n of_o mercy_n so_o be_v there_o a_o time_n of_o judgement_n with_o god_n 18_o christ_n prove_v his_o resurrection_n unto_o his_o disciple_n by_o all_o kind_n of_o argument_n as_o by_o the_o testimony_n both_o of_o angel_n of_o woman_n and_o of_o man_n unto_o who_o he_o present_v himself_o alive_a even_o in_o the_o same_o body_n that_o be_v mark_v with_o the_o scar_n of_o the_o wound_n add_v thereunto_o also_o the_o testimony_n of_o the_o prophet_n 19_o unto_o all_o these_o thing_n he_o adjoin_v his_o conversation_n which_o he_o have_v with_o they_o for_o the_o space_n of_o forty_o day_n lest_o either_o a_o short_a time_n shall_v not_o suffice_v or_o if_o he_o have_v continue_v long_o he_o may_v seem_v to_o have_v rise_v to_o such_o a_o life_n as_o he_o lead_v here_o at_o the_o first_o 20_o hitherto_o also_o belong_v the_o manner_n of_o his_o appear_v which_o be_v in_o some_o respect_n natural_a that_o it_o may_v be_v manifest_a that_o neither_o his_o resurrection_n nor_o his_o glory_n do_v take_v from_o he_o his_o true_a humanity_n whereby_o he_o be_v and_o shall_v be_v our_o brother_n for_o ever_o and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o supernatural_a that_o all_o may_v know_v he_o have_v lay_v down_o this_o natural_a life_n to_o be_v unto_o we_o the_o first_o fruit_n of_o a_o spiritual_a and_o a_o eternal_a 21_o now_o see_v both_o this_o history_n of_o the_o resurrection_n and_o also_o testimony_n of_o the_o prophet_n which_o foretell_v the_o same_o be_v publish_v open_o and_o in_o the_o audience_n of_o as_o many_o as_o will_v hear_v not_o only_o of_o the_o jew_n but_o of_o all_o other_o people_n and_o be_v also_o confirm_v by_o all_o kind_n of_o miracle_n it_o must_v needs_o be_v that_o neither_o the_o jew_n nor_o any_o other_o people_n can_v complain_v that_o christ_n after_o he_o have_v rise_v again_o do_v not_o offer_v himself_o to_o be_v see_v of_o they_o 22_o and_o see_v that_o christ_n come_v to_o save_v his_o elect_a whole_o both_o soul_n and_o body_n and_o that_o his_o resurrection_n be_v his_o true_a and_o full_a victory_n it_o follow_v that_o that_o spiritual_a

be_v wear_v away_o be_v bury_v and_o the_o new_a man_n rise_v again_o do_v depend_v upon_o the_o resurrection_n of_o christ_n that_o even_o as_o christ_n after_o his_o resurrection_n &_o not_o before_o as_o far_o as_o he_o be_v our_o head_n begin_v to_o live_v that_o eternal_a life_n after_o he_o have_v overcome_v all_o the_o infirmity_n of_o this_o natural_a life_n which_o sin_n except_v

yet_o do_v it_o not_o follow_v thence_o that_o he_o be_v no_o more_o present_a here_o with_o his_o church_n for_o the_o government_n thereof_o see_v that_o the_o say_a ascension_n do_v only_o

15_o unbridle_a contumacy_n be_v almost_o the_o most_o heinous_a sin_n against_o the_o church_n whether_o it_o be_v that_o he_o who_o be_v call_v refuse_v to_o appear_v or_o that_o be_v lawful_o
