eternal_a weight_n of_o glory_n ver._n 17._o and_o that_o be_v express_o say_v to_o be_v but_o this_o present_a time_n rom._n 8._o so_o then_o there_o be_v no_o parabit_fw-la in_o that_o other_o

for_o though_o i_o must_v not_o say_v the_o body_n defile_v the_o soul_n or_o of_o itself_o be_v the_o immediate_a subject_n of_o sin_n yet_o the_o original_a mean_n or_o channel_n through_o which_o

wrought_v all_o of_o grace_n he_o intend_v to_o work_v in_o preparation_n to_o glory_n out_o of_o all_o these_o a_o strong_a argument_n do_v arise_v that_o such_o a_o soul_n upon_o death_n shall_v be_v admit_v unto_o glory_n and_o not_o be_v put_v to_o stay_v till_o the_o time_n of_o the_o resurrection_n when_o both_o soul_n and_o body_n shall_v be_v join_v again_o together_o and_o that_o this_o hold_v a_o just_a and_o meet_a conveniency_n upon_o each_o or_o at_o least_o all_o these_o ground_n when_o put_v together_o first_o consider_v the_o soul_n as_o the_o immediate_a subject_n of_o this_o work_n and_o preparation_n for_o glory_n hence_o therefore_o this_o will_n at_o least_o arise_v that_o the_o inherency_n or_o abide_n of_o this_o grace_n wrought_v in_o this_o soul_n depend_v not_o upon_o its_o conjunction_n with_o the_o body_n but_o so_o as_o it_o remain_v as_o a_o everlasting_a and_o perpetual_a conserver_n of_o that_o grace_n stamp_v on_o it_o yea_o and_o carry_v it_o all_o with_o itself_o as_o a_o rich_a treasure_n innate_a unto_o it_o wherever_o it_o go_v when_o separate_a from_o the_o body_n i_o say_v it_o either_o have_v in_o it_o or_o appertain_v unto_o it_o
