of_o and_o liable_a to_o the_o second_o death_n which_o i_o shall_v prove_v by_o several_a plain_n and_o evident_a reason_n draw_v from_o the_o scripture_n but_o before_o i_o speak_v unto_o it_o be_v

20.14_o for_o i_o do_v believe_v that_o the_o wage_n of_o sin_n be_v death_n but_o as_o there_o be_v a_o twofold_a covenant_n so_o there_o be_v a_o twofold_a death_n viz._n a_o first_o and_o second_o

we_o may_v read_v the_o threaten_n gen._n 2.17_o in_o these_o word_n but_o of_o the_o tree_n of_o knowledge_n of_o good_a and_o evil_a thou_o shall_v not_o eat_v of_o it_o for_o in_o the_o day_n

thou_o but_o shall_v pass_v to_o some_o few_o reason_n to_o prove_v man_n whole_o mortal_a and_o the_o first_o be_v reas_n 1._o first_o because_o christ_n die_v soul_n and_o body_n to_o purchase_v our_o soul_n and_o body_n from_o the_o grave_n and_o if_o christ_n soul_n die_v it_o be_v real_o to_o that_o end_n that_o our_o soul_n may_v not_o lie_v in_o the_o grave_n and_o if_o we_o have_v dye_v only_o in_o body_n than_o christ_n have_v dye_v only_o in_o body_n but_o the_o whole_a man_n be_v mortal_a and_o return_v to_o dust_n christ_n also_o pour_v out_o his_o soul_n to_o death_n and_o make_v his_o soul_n a_o offering_n for_o sin_n as_o say_v the_o prophet_n isa_n 53.10_o when_o thou_o shall_v make_v his_o soul_n a_o offering_n for_o sin_n he_o shall_v see_v his_o seed_n mark_v that_o he_o shall_v prolong_v his_o day_n and_o the_o pleasure_n of_o the_o lord_n shall_v prosper_v in_o his_o hand_n 12._o because_o he_o have_v pour_v out_o his_o soul_n to_o death_n and_o he_o be_v number_v with_o the_o stranger_n and_o he_o bear_v the_o sin_n of_o many_o etc._n etc._n from_o hence_o we_o see_v that_o christ_n soul_n die_v that_o we_o may_v live_v again_o and_o not_o be_v leave_v in_o the_o grave_n which_o prove_v that_o our_o soul_n be_v mortal_a and_o die_v and_o so_o i_o pass_v to_o the_o second_o reason_n to_o prove_v that_o the_o whole_a man_n be_v mortal_a which_o be_v reas_n 2._o second_o because_o if_o man_n body_n be_v mortal_a and_o that_o die_v and_o his_o soul_n immortal_a &_o that_o live_v than_o man_n have_v two_o life_n &_o two_o distinct_a being_n which_o be_v not_o for_o if_o there_o be_v two_o distinct_a life_n and_o two_o distinct_a being_n then_o adam_n be_v two_o distinct_a creature_n and_o than_o it_o can_v be_v say_v that_o as_o by_o the_o offence_n of_o one_o judgement_n come_v upon_o all_o man_n to_o condemnation_n for_o adam_n upon_o that_o account_n be_v two_o distinct_a being_n have_v two_o distinct_a life_n but_o man_n have_v but_o one_o life_n the_o whole_a man_n must_v be_v mortal_a or_o the_o whole_a man_n immortal_a and_o that_o the_o whole_a man_n be_v mortal_a the_o scripture_n and_o our_o experience_n do_v witness_v reas_n 3._o again_o three_o because_o otherwise_o christ_n have_v do_v lazarus_n wrong_v by_o raise_v he_o from_o the_o dead_a for_o if_o his_o soul_n have_v be_v in_o heaven_n four_o day_n and_o then_o christ_n fetch_v it_o from_o thence_o it_o be_v so_o far_o from_o a_o act_n of_o love_n to_o he_o who_o christ_n so_o well_o love_v that_o it_o be_v great_a prejudice_n and_o also_o i_o

thing_n represent_v or_o the_o figure_n of_o the_o thing_n call_v by_o the_o name_n of_o the_o thing_n figure_v and_o hence_o we_o may_v see_v although_o i_o can_v say_v much_o more_o of_o thing_n

of_o the_o word_n of_o christ_n and_o the_o word_n of_o john_n which_o seem_o contradict_v each_o other_o but_o be_v understand_v according_o as_o they_o be_v speak_v they_o agree_v together_o so_o

give_v these_o reason_n which_o before_o have_v be_v mention_v in_o general_n in_o a_o short_a and_o brief_a method_n first_o john_n the_o baptist_n be_v not_o the_o real_a elias_n as_o i_o think_v all_o will_v confess_v for_o he_o be_v the_o son_n of_o zacharias_n and_o zacharias_n have_v a_o commandment_n from_o the_o lord_n to_o call_v the_o name_n of_o his_o son_n not_o elias_n but_o john_n luke_n 1.13_o but_o elias_n be_v to_o come_v as_o have_v be_v prove_v before_o the_o great_a and_o dreadful_a day_n of_o the_o lord_n second_o john_n the_o baptist_n be_v not_o the_o forerunner_n simple_o so_o consider_v of_o the_o great_a and_o dreadful_a day_n of_o the_o lord_n for_o that_o day_n that_o john_n be_v a_o forerunner_n of_o be_v the_o day_n of_o christ_n suffering_n and_o not_o the_o day_n of_o dread_n unto_o his_o enemy_n so_o as_o it_o will_v be_v in_o that_o day_n that_o the_o chief_a captain_n and_o great_a and_o mighty_a man_n of_o the_o earth_n shall_v call_v to_o the_o mountain_n to_o fall_v upon_o they_o and_o hide_v they_o from_o the_o presence_n of_o the_o lamb_n for_o the_o great_a day_n of_o his_o wrath_n be_v come_v say_v they_o and_o who_o can_v stand_v but_o elias_n be_v to_o be_v the_o forerunner_n of_o the_o great_a and_o dreadful_a day_n of_o the_o lord_n three_o the_o heart_n of_o the_o father_n shall_v be_v turn_v unto_o the_o child_n and_o the_o heart_n of_o the_o child_n to_o their_o father_n in_o that_o day_n which_o yet_o be_v at_o a_o distance_n for_o christ_n sake_n so_o that_o the_o parent_n hate_v their_o child_n and_o child_n shall_v betray_v their_o parent_n to_o death_n for_o christ_n sake_n although_o it_o be_v not_o deny_v that_o john_n in_o a_o measure_n be_v a_o type_n of_o elias_n in_o that_o thing_n according_a to_o the_o say_n of_o the_o angel_n to_o zacharias_n luke_n 1.13_o 18._o for_o all_o man_n do_v account_n john_n a_o prophet_n and_o he_o prepare_v the_o way_n of_o the_o lord_n all_o judah_n and_o

that_o many_o family_n even_o parent_n and_o their_o child_n have_v be_v and_o be_v at_o a_o distance_n about_o he_o and_o so_o will_v be_v until_o that_o day_n of_o the_o come_n of_o elias_n and_o then_o the_o heart_n of_o the_o father_n shall_v thorough_o be_v turn_v unto_o their_o child_n and_o the_o heart_n of_o the_o child_n unto_o their_o father_n and_o envy_n shall_v depart_v from_o ephraim_n as_o before_o say_v which_o bring_v i_o to_o the_o four_o &_o last_o reason_n to_o prove_v elias_n one_o of_o the_o two_o witness_n which_o be_v four_o because_o the_o same_o judgement_n which_o be_v bring_v upon_o the_o earth_n by_o elias_n when_o he_o be_v upon_o earth_n shall_v be_v again_o bring_v upon_o the_o earth_n by_o the_o two_o prophet_n or_o witness_n revel_v 11.6_o compare_v with_o james_n 5.17_o 1_o king_n 17.1_o which_o bespeak_v such_o a_o thing_n as_o though_o elijah_n shall_v be_v one_o of_o those_o two_o witness_n if_o we_o also_o consider_v that_o these_o witness_n must_v be_v slay_v and_o therefore_o must_v be_v such_o as_o never_o yet_o have_v taste_v of_o death_n because_o it_o can_v be_v rational_o imagine_v that_o those_o prophet_n which_o be_v so_o to_o die_v be_v any_o of_o the_o prophet_n which_o be_v dead_a and_o shall_v be_v raise_v from_o the_o dead_a and_o then_o be_v slay_v again_o i_o speak_v this_o because_o some_o have_v suppose_v moses_n to_o be_v one_o of_o these_o two_o prophet_n which_o in_o reason_n can_v be_v so_o neither_o do_v i_o find_v any_o scripture_n warrant_v any_o such_o thing_n neither_o do_v i_o find_v any_o where_n in_o my_o most_o serious_a search_n of_o the_o scripture_n of_o any_o extraordinary_a prophet_n namely_o such_o prophet_n as_o be_v mention_v in_o revel_v 11._o to_o be_v bear_v in_o the_o last_o day_n when_o this_o pprophecy_n be_v to_o be_v accomplish_v but_o elijah_n never_o yet_o be_v slay_v but_o be_v catch_v up_o to_o heaven_n in_o a_o whirlwind_n and_o so_o at_o present_a i_o shall_v leave_v this_o and_o pass_v to_o the_o next_o thing_n which_o be_v to_o show_v my_o opinion_n who_o it_o be_v that_o be_v the_o other_o prophet_n because_o the_o text_n say_v that_o there_o be_v to_o be_v two_o prophet_n or_o two_o witness_n which_o be_v to_o prophesy_v in_o sackcloth_n and_o as_o to_o the_o other_o prophet_n i_o shall_v be_v very_o brief_a because_o i_o do_v not_o find_v any_o such_o objection_n as_o i_o meet_v with_o against_o the_o fore_n mention_v prophet_n namely_o against_o elias_n and_o therefore_o i_o shall_v brief_o show_v my_o opinion_n and_o leave_v it_o second_o as_o for_o the_o other_o prophet_n which_o be_v to_o be_v a_o fellow_n companion_n with_o elias_n i_o understand_v to_o be_v john_n that_o holy_a apostle_n the_o belove_a disciple_n of_o jesus_n which_o lean_v upon_o his_o breast_n at_o supper_n for_o as_o elias_n be_v a_o man_n high_o in_o the_o love_n and_o favour_n of_o god_n although_o hate_v by_o man_n and_o persecute_v and_o banish_v even_o so_o be_v john_n dear_o belove_v of_o god_n although_o hate_v and_o banish_v from_o man_n yet_o the_o lord_n jesus_n deal_v with_o he_o by_o manifest_v of_o himself_o to_o he_o as_o god_n do_v to_o elijah_n when_o he_o flee_v from_o the_o face_n of_o ahab_n and_o jessibel_n 1_o king_n 17._o and_o chap._n 18._o but_o be_v in_o have_v i_o pass_v many_o thing_n which_o otherwise_o be_v necessary_a to_o be_v speak_v by_o way_n of_o parallel_n and_o come_v to_o show_v the_o reason_n why_o i_o understand_v john_n to_o be_v one_o of_o the_o two_o witness_n speak_v of_o in_o revelation_n the_o 11._o which_o be_v these_o first_o because_o when_o john_n write_v the_o gospel_n of_o christ_n which_o be_v suppose_v to_o be_v thirty_o year_n after_o the_o ascension_n of_o christ_n it_o be_v then_o report_v among_o the_o disciple_n that_o john_n be_v not_o to_o die_v john_n 21.23_o and_o yet_o at_o that_o time_n they_o have_v the_o spirit_n of_o the_o lord_n to_o teach_v they_o but_o if_o it_o shall_v be_v object_v and_o say_v that_o john_n say_v not_o that_o christ_n say_v he_o shall_v not_o die_v but_o what_o if_o i_o will_v that_o he_o tarry_v till_o i_o come_v what_o be_v that_o to_o thou_o fellow_n thou_o i_o signify_v peter_n death_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v and_o say_v that_o it_o be_v true_a
9.5_o and_o if_o the_o faculty_n of_o man_n be_v understand_v to_o be_v the_o soul_n than_o it_o be_v easy_a to_o prove_v they_o temperature_n and_o mortal_a because_o they_o be_v subject_a to_o

these_o thing_n consider_v we_o may_v see_v that_o the_o whole_a man_n be_v mortal_a time_n will_v fail_v i_o to_o write_v the_o particular_a thing_n appertain_v to_o this_o subject_n of_o discourse_n and_o therefore_o i_o shall_v pass_v to_o the_o answer_n of_o some_o few_o objection_n which_o may_v comprehend_v the_o whole_a but_o by_o the_o way_n give_v i_o leave_v to_o show_v you_o a_o glimpse_n of_o what_o the_o scripture_n call_v the_o soul_n in_o which_o you_o may_v see_v how_o many_o thing_n bear_v the_o name_n of_o soul_n in_o scripture_n and_o first_o it_o be_v take_v for_o

the_o objection_n which_o be_v object_n 1._o fear_v not_o he_o that_o can_v kill_v the_o body_n but_o can_v kill_v the_o soul_n mat._n 10.28_o imply_v that_o there_o be_v a_o soul_n which_o can_v be_v kill_v answ_n this_o be_v the_o most_o material_a text_n that_o i_o know_v of_o to_o that_o purpose_n but_o luke_n which_o be_v the_o most_o exact_a writer_n have_v record_v it_o thus_o luke_n 12.4_o 5._o and_o i_o say_v unto_o you_o my_o friend_n be_v not_o afraid_a of_o they_o that_o can_v kill_v the_o body_n and_o afterward_o have_v no_o more_o that_o they_o can_v do_v but_o fear_v he_o which_o after_o he_o have_v kill_v have_v power_n to_o cast_v into_o hell_n yea_o i_o say_v unto_o you_o fear_v he_o which_o show_v to_o we_o man_n can_v only_o destroy_v the_o body_n which_o be_v mortal_a and_o must_v die_v but_o god_n can_v destroy_v both_o the_o body_n which_o be_v mortal_a and_o also_o cast_v the_o whole_a man_n into_o hell_n when_o it_o be_v immortal_a after_o the_o resurrection_n and_o so_o he_o above_o all_o be_v to_o be_v fear_v and_o that_o this_o in_o short_a be_v the_o meaning_n of_o the_o word_n be_v evident_a because_o the_o soul_n have_v be_v kill_v by_o man_n josh_n 10.35_o but_o after_o the_o resurrection_n none_o can_v destroy_v it_o but_o god_n and_o so_o i_o pass_v to_o the_o next_o objection_n which_o be_v object_n 2._o in_o phil._n 1.23_o 24._o for_o i_o be_o in_o a_o strait_a betwixt_o two_o have_v a_o desire_n to_o depart_v and_o be_v with_o christ_n which_o be_v far_o better_a answ_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v and_o say_v that_o this_o text_n do_v not_o contradict_v the_o state_n of_o man_n mortality_n because_o there_o be_v no_o time_n to_o the_o dead_a that_o be_v to_o say_v that_o the_o time_n between_o adam_n death_n and_o his_o

return_v to_o dust_n from_o whence_o we_o be_v take_v and_o become_v like_o water_n spill_v upon_o the_o ground_n there_o will_v be_v no_o time_n also_o to_o we_o till_o the_o time_n of_o the_o

and_o when_o they_o find_v christ_n dead_a already_o they_o break_v not_o his_o leg_n the_o which_o impli_v clear_o that_o the_o other_o two_o malefactor_n be_v not_o dead_a and_o also_o take_v

therefore_o that_o they_o may_v not_o make_v a_o escape_n but_o die_v according_a to_o the_o law_n they_o break_v their_o leg_n and_o then_o by_o their_o so_o do_v there_o can_v be_v no_o mean_n of_o

they_o do_v die_v the_o same_o day_n for_o man_n may_v lie_v a_o whole_a day_n nay_o they_o may_v lie_v day_n with_o their_o leg_n break_v before_o they_o die_v and_o i_o do_v dare_v presume_v to_o

be_v dead_a that_o day_n it_o can_v be_v prove_v that_o the_o soul_n of_o the_o penitent_a thief_n be_v that_o day_n in_o heaven_n moreover_o consider_v christ_n do_v not_o tell_v the_o thief_n that_o

and_o to_o administer_v comfort_n and_o assurance_n unto_o he_o say_v i_o say_v unto_o thou_o to_o day_n thou_o shall_v be_v with_o i_o in_o paradise_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v have_v say_v to_o he_o thou_o desire_v i_o to_o remember_v thou_o when_o i_o come_v into_o my_o kingdom_n but_o to_o put_v thou_o out_o of_o doubt_n i_o will_v tell_v thou_o at_o present_a or_o to_o day_n to_o thy_o

that_o the_o soul_n be_v in_o some_o place_n to_o be_v understand_v blood_n be_v clear_a because_o the_o life_n or_o blood_n be_v to_o be_v understand_v all_o one_o in_o many_o place_n and_o so_o it_o be_v say_v that_o christ_n make_v his_o soul_n a_o offering_n for_o sin_n and_o that_o be_v to_o be_v understand_v his_o life_n or_o more_o proper_o his_o blood_n for_o without_o blood_n there_o be_v no_o remission_n of_o sin_n and_o also_o i_o have_v before_o show_v that_o the_o greek_a word_n soul_n bear_v such_o a_o signification_n as_o blood_n and_o if_o so_o it_o be_v very_o proper_a for_o the_o soul_n viz._n blood_n to_o cry_v for_o vengeance_n for_o so_o do_v abel_n blood_n cry_v for_o vengeance_n against_o cain_n and_o also_o christ_n blood_n do_v cry_v for_o vengeance_n against_o such_o as_o be_v guilty_a of_o it_o by_o trample_v it_o under_o foot_n although_o it_o do_v speak_v for_o the_o penitent_a better_a thing_n than_o the_o blood_n of_o abel_n and_o thus_o we_o be_v to_o understand_v that_o sixth_o chapter_n of_o the_o revelation_n that_o after_o the_o red_a horse_n and_o he_o that_o sit_v upon_o he_o with_o the_o great_a sword_n have_v take_v peace_n from_o the_o

which_o john_n see_v and_o declare_v when_o he_o say_v i_o see_v the_o soul_n which_o be_v slay_v for_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o the_o testimony_n which_o they_o hold_v and_o so_o i_o pass_v to_o

because_o some_o of_o those_o that_o awake_v do_v awake_a to_o everlasting_a shame_n and_o contempt_n which_o can_v be_v take_v in_o a_o spiritual_a fence_n for_o i_o hope_v no_o man_n be_v so_o

the_o seven_o reason_n to_o prove_v the_o resurrection_n which_o be_v reas_n 7._o seven_o because_o saint_n paul_n say_v that_o the_o dead_a in_o christ_n shall_v rise_v first_o now_o this_o can_v be_v mean_v spiritual_o first_o because_o those_o that_o be_v in_o christ_n can_v be_v spiritual_o dead_a that_o be_v to_o say_v dead_a in_o trespass_n and_o sin_n and_o second_o if_o it_o shall_v

and_o the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o body_n from_o the_o dead_a that_o be_v to_o say_v the_o godly_a even_o such_o as_o live_v and_o die_v in_o christ_n shall_v arise_v a_o thousand_o year_n before_o

for_o they_o be_v all_o one_o in_o christ_n and_o to_o have_v all_o one_o privilege_n and_o as_o for_o the_o manchild_n which_o be_v to_o rule_v all_o nation_n with_o a_o rod_n of_o iron_n we_o see_v

even_o all_o the_o jew_n that_o live_v to_o his_o come_n and_o be_v not_o before_o convert_v unto_o gospel_n obedience_n shall_v live_v in_o their_o flesh_n and_o not_o be_v change_v at_o the_o

when_o christ_n come_v and_o also_o in_o the_o time_n of_o his_o kingdom_n and_o second_o all_o the_o gentile_a saint_n shall_v be_v with_o christ_n before_o he_o shall_v descend_v upon_o the_o
