these_o expression_n be_v proper_a and_o true_a and_o that_o the_o soul_n have_v not_o such_o a_o separate_a subsistence_n as_o above_o be_v describe_v but_o rather_o that_o it_o be_v material_a and_o

if_o no_o resurrection_n our_o preach_a be_v vain_a and_o your_o faith_n be_v also_o vain_a and_o we_o be_v false_a witness_n and_o you_o be_v yet_o in_o your_o sin_n and_o they_o who_o be_v fall_v asleep_a in_o christ_n be_v perish_v upon_o this_o i_o argue_v if_o the_o soul_n enjoy_v a_o separate_a state_n and_o go_v to_o heaven_n at_o the_o man_n death_n then_o how_o can_v these_o dreadful_a consequence_n follow_v upon_o the_o failure_n of_o truth_n in_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o resurrection_n for_o if_o the_o soul_n go_v to_o heaven_n at_o the_o death_n that_o will_v enjoy_v bliss_n and_o happiness_n in_o a_o high_a degree_n though_o there_o be_v no_o resurrection_n at_o all_o but_o our_o apostle_n here_o conclude_v all_o christianity_n to_o be_v in_o vain_a without_o a_o resurrection_n and_o the_o next_o verse_n viz._n 19_o he_o say_v if_o in_o this_o life_n only_o we_o have_v hope_n in_o christ_n we_o be_v of_o all_o man_n the_o most_o miserable_a but_o christ_n be_v rise_v and_o by_o he_o come_v also_o the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o dead_a which_o seem_v plain_o infer_v that_o if_o there_o be_v no_o resurrection_n than_o our_o hope_n in_o christ_n can_v extend_v only_o to_o this_o world_n and_o the_o thing_n of_o it_o and_o then_o we_o shall_v be_v more_o miserable_a than_o other_o man_n who_o give_v themselves_o more_o liberty_n in_o the_o enjoyment_n of_o they_o he_o go_v on_o through_o this_o long_a chapter_n to_o treat_v of_o the_o resurrection_n and_o the_o manner_n and_o benefit_n of_o it_o ver._n 58._o he_o conclude_v abound_v in_o the_o work_n of_o the_o lord_n forasmuch_o as_o you_o know_v by_o this_o my_o discourse_n of_o the_o resurrection_n that_o your_o labour_n be_v not_o in_o vain_a in_o the_o lord_n thus_o he_o discourse_v full_o and_o large_o upon_o the_o resurrection_n without_o a_o word_n speak_v or_o a_o hint_n give_v concern_v a_o separate_a subsistence_n of_o soul_n or_o a_o particular_a judgement_n or_o any_o

second_o observation_n concern_v a_o objection_n which_o have_v be_v and_o may_v be_v make_v against_o my_o pretence_n of_o the_o soul_n extinguishment_n at_o the_o death_n of_o the_o party_n it_o

and_o such_o a_o sameness_n will_v the_o soul_n easy_o obtain_v viz._n a_o flame_n of_o life_n as_o much_o the_o same_o with_o the_o former_a as_o a_o flame_n in_o one_o part_n of_o a_o fire_n
