sing_v with_o david_n my_o soul_n bless_v thou_o the_o lord_n which_o fyll_v thy_o mouth_n with_o good_a thing_n and_o make_v the_o young_a again_o like_o the_o egle._n and_o to_o this_o we_o have_v the_o prayer_n which_o the_o lord_n jesus_n make_v to_o his_o father_n for_o the_o same_o purpose_n sayinge_v father_n i_o desire_v that_o those_o which_o thou_o haste_v give_v i_o may_v be_v with_o i_o to_o see_v my_o glory_n now_o as_o we_o have_v suffitient_o prove_v the_o true_a doctrine_n touching_n the_o immortality_n of_o the_o soul_n so_o on_o the_o other_o side_n be_v it_o necessary_a to_o answer_v to_o those_o place_n which_o the_o anabaptiste_n do_v bring_v forth_o to_o ground_n their_o error_n on_o first_o they_o allege_v that_o the_o description_n which_o the_o scripture_n make_v of_o man_n soul_n agree_v with_o the_o same_o of_o beast_n as_o where_o it_o be_v say_v that_o god_n have_v create_v the_o great_a whale_n and_o every_o lyve_a soul_n also_o that_o the_o beast_n enter_v by_o couple_n into_o the_o ark_n all_o that_o have_v spirit_n of_o life_n and_o to_o confirm_v this_o they_o help_v themselves_o with_o that_o which_o faint_a paul_n say_v that_o in_o this_o life_n man_n be_v corruptible_a mortal_a and_o animal_n but_o he_o shall_v rise_v again_o incorruptible_a immortal_a and_o spiritual_a as_o it_o be_v write_v that_o the_o first_o man_n be_v make_v in_o a_o lyve_a soul_n i_o grant_v that_o this_o title_n of_o lyve_a soul_n be_v oftentimes_o attribute_v to_o beast_n because_o they_o also_o do_v live_v in_o their_o kind_n but_o there_o be_v great_a diversity_n between_o they_o and_o man_n for_o in_o man_n the_o soul_n by_o which_o he_o know_v judge_v and_o have_v discretion_n be_v call_v lyve_v the_o soul_n of_o beast_n have_v none_o other_o faculty_n but_o to_o gyve_v move_a unto_o their_o body_n therefore_o it_o be_v no_o marvel_n if_o the_o soul_n of_o man_n which_o have_v reason_n understanding_n will_n and_o other_o power_n distinct_a from_o the_o body_n do_v subsiste_v be_v separate_a from_o the_o body_n where_o as_o the_o soul_n of_o beast_n do_v perish_v for_o as_o much_o as_o they_o have_v only_o but_o corporal_a sense_n ☞_o for_o this_o cause_n sayncte_n paul_n allege_v the_o testimony_n of_o aratus_n a_o heathen_a poet_n which_o say_v that_o we_o be_v the_o lineage_n of_o god_n to_o declare_v the_o excellency_n of_o our_o soul_n touch_v that_o saint_n paul_n put_v difference_n between_o a_o live_n soul_n and_o a_o live_n spirit_n be_v not_o do_v to_o declare_v that_o the_o soul_n which_o we_o now_o have_v do_v perish_v but_o only_o to_o declare_v how_o much_o more_o power_n there_o shall_v be_v after_o the_o resurrection_n that_o be_v fowete_a that_o we_o shall_v be_v like_a unto_o the_o angel_n of_o god_n live_v without_o meat_n and_o dryncke_v not_o be_v subject_n to_o any_o mutation_n or_o fragility_n ☞_o they_o do_v yet_o further_o allege_v the_o u●sion_n of_o ezechyell_n where_o the_o prophet_n write_v of_o the_o resurrection_n do_v say_v that_o god_n call_v the_o spirit_n from_o the_o four_o wind_n to_o inspire_v life_n into_o the_o dead_a bone_n but_o the_o solution_n be_v easy_a that_o ezechyell_n after_o the_o manner_n accustom_v of_o the_o prophet_n use_v a_o exterioure_fw-fr fygure_n to_o signify_v the_o foul_a of_o man_n as_o in_o his_o first_o vision_n speak_v of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n he_o call_v he_o also_o wound_n who_o so_o will_v upon_o that_o reason_n that_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n be_v not_o a_o essence_n be_v farrre_v wide_o therefore_o it_o be_v great_a folye_n of_o these_o mad_a man_n that_o they_o do_v not_o observe_v this_o manner_n of_o speech_n which_o be_v so_o common_a through_o out_o all_o the_o whole_a scripture_n ☞_o their_o three_o argument_n be_v that_o though_o the_o soul_n be_v create_v immortal_a yet_o through_o sin_n she_o have_v last_o her_o immortalitye_n as_o sayncte_n paul_n do_v say_v that_o the_o reward_n of_o sin_n be_v death_n but_o first_o i_o ask_v whether_o the_o devil_n have_v not_o receyve_v the_o same_o reward_n and_o yet_o be_v he_o not_o so_o dead_a but_o that_o he_o always_o watch_v and_o buselye_o seek_v who_o he_o may_v devour_v secondely_n i_o ask_v whether_o this_o death_n take_v end_n or_o no_o for_o if_o it_o have_v no_o enden_fw-ge will_n they_o nyl_o they_o they_o must_v needs_o grant_v i_o that_o the_o soul_n through_o death_n do_v not_o cease_v to_o feel_v the_o eternal_a fire_n and_o the_o worm_n that_o gnaw_v theym_a it_o appear_v therefore_o that_o the_o soul_n do_v not_o so_o dye_v but_o that_o she_o have_v feel_v of_o her_o evyll_n touch_v the_o body_n it_o be_v say_v that_o it_o shall_v return_v to_o the_o earth_n whence_o it_o be_v come_v there_o to_o rote_n but_o the_o death_n of_o the_o soul_n be_v to_o be_v put_v from_o god_n and_o to_o be_v confound_v with_o the_o feeling_n of_o his_o ire_n as_o the_o apostle_n declare_v sayinge_v awake_v thou_o that_o sleap_a rise_v from_o death_n and_o christ_n shall_v illumine_v the._n it_o be_v evidente_a that_o he_o speak_v not_o to_o the_o insensible_a body_n but_o unto_o those_o which_o be_v bury_v in_o sin_n do_v bear_v death_n and_o hell_n with_o they_o moreover_o we_o have_v already_o show_v that_o that_o thing_n which_o we_o have_v lose_v in_o adam_n be_v restore_v in_o jesus_n christ_n for_o that_o thing_n which_o be_v show_v before_o by_o the_o prophet_n that_o he_o shall_v destroy_v death_n for_o ever_o and_o that_o he_o shall_v swallow_v it_o up_o the_o apostle_n have_v declare_v that_o it_o be_v fulfyl_v he_o have_v destroy_v death_n say_v saint_n paul_n and_o have_v give_v life_n through_o the_o gospel_n again_o if_o death_n have_v reygn_v through_o one_o man_n fault_n they_o which_o have_v receyve_v abundance_n of_o grace_n shall_v reign_v in_o life_n through_o jesus_n christ_n this_o one_o sentence_n be_v sufficient_a to_o stop_v their_o mouth_n for_o sing_v that_o the_o death_n which_o be_v come_v through_o adam_n be_v abolish_v by_o christ_n the_o whole_a question_n lie_v in_o the_o comparison_n which_o saint_a paul_n make_v there_o which_o be_v that_o the_o virtue_n of_o jesus_n christ_n be_v of_o great_a strengthe_n to_o restore_v they_o be_v adam_n to_o destroy_v which_o thing_n in_o that_o place_n he_o do_v well_o declare_v and_o follow_v that_o which_o he_o speak_v he_o add_v further_a after_o that_o there_o be_v no_o damnation_n to_o theym_v which_o be_v in_o christ_n jesus_n which_o walk_v not_o after_o the_o flesh_n and_o in_o deed_n if_o death_n shall_v have_v dominion_n over_o the_o soul_n of_o the_o fayethfull_a the_o grace_n of_o god_n shall_v not_o have_v his_o reign_n which_o import_v life_n as_o he_o say_v but_o rather_o the_o law_n of_o god_n shall_v exercise_v her_o power_n over_o they_o which_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o whole_a doctrine_n of_o the_o scripture_n ¶_o they_o do_v also_o abuse_v theim selue_o with_o this_o that_o oftentimes_o this_o word_n sleep_n be_v token_n for_o death_n as_o where_o it_o be_v say_v of_o saint_n stephan_n that_o he_o fall_v a_o sleep_v in_o the_o lord_n again_o lazarus_n our_o friend_n slepe_v again_o sorrow_n you_o not_o for_o they_o that_o sleep_n and_o in_o deed_n this_o manner_n of_o speech_n be_v more_o frequent_a in_o the_o history_n of_o the_o bible_n than_o any_o other_o i_o answer_v that_o this_o sleep_v appertain_v nothing_o unto_o the_o soul_n but_o ought_v whole_o to_o be_v understand_v of_o the_o body_n for_o there_o be_v two_o speech_n which_o do_v understande_v in_o oneself_o sense_n to_o sleep_v with_o his_o father_n and_o to_o be_v with_o his_o father_n now_o when_o it_o be_v say_v that_o a_o man_n be_v put_v unto_o his_o father_n it_o be_v plain_a that_o it_o be_v mean_v of_o his_o sepulchre_n i_o will_v have_v no_o man_n believe_v this_o except_o i_o can_v prove_v my_o sayinge_v by_o good_a wytnes_n of_o the_o scripture_n when_o job_n say_v behold_v i_o sleep_v in_o dust_n he_o mean_v not_o that_o his_o soul_n shall_v sleep_v ther._n so_o when_o he_o say_v in_o a_o other_o place_n that_o all_o man_n shall_v sleep_v in_o the_o dust_n together_o and_o that_o the_o worm_n shall_v cover_v they_o it_o may_v not_o be_v understande_v out_o of_o the_o body_n a_o like_o mean_v be_v in_o these_o word_n of_o david_n where_o he_o say_v that_o he_o be_v like_a unto_o the_o dead_a sleapinge_n in_o then_o sepulcher_n and_o esayas_n speak_v to_o nabuchodonosor_n say_v all_o other_o king_n have_v slepte_v in_o their_o glory_n and_o be_v put_v into_o their_o place_n but_o thou_o be_v cast_v out_o of_o thy_o sepulchre_n ☞_o therefore_o in_o a_o some_o we_o see_v that_o this_o word_n sleep_n be_v by_o similitude_n apply_v unto_o

a_o vocation_n if_o it_o let_v a_o man_n to_o be_v the_o servant_n of_o god_n saint_a paul_n exhort_v every_o christian_n man_n to_o persist_v in_o that_o vocation_n in_o the_o which_o he_o be_v call_v all_o shepehearde_n and_o labourer_n of_o the_o earth_n all_o handye_v craft_n and_o such_o like_a ought_v to_o think_v their_o estate_n holy_a and_o that_o it_o hynder_v they_o nothing_o towching_n christian_n perfection_n let_v we_o see_v now_o which_o estate_n be_v mooste_o approve_a of_o god_n of_o one_o that_o keap_v beast_n or_o of_o one_o that_o govern_v the_o people_n which_o be_v not_o only_o approve_v but_o also_o praise_v as_o worthy_a and_o excellent_a above_o all_o other_o i_o will_v cease_v to_o rehearse_v a_o great_a meynye_n testimony_n which_o make_v well_o for_o the_o probation_n of_o this_o matter_n only_o for_o brevite_n sake_n and_o also_o because_o one_o only_o be_v suffitiente_a for_o us._n what_o great_a praise_n will_v we_o have_v of_o any_o estate_n then_o that_o by_o god_n own_o mouth_n it_o be_v call_v divine_a if_o this_o title_n be_v give_v unto_o the_o estate_n of_o prince_n who_o shall_v dare_v say_v that_o it_o be_v unmete_v for_o a_o fayethful_a man_n now_o it_o have_v a_o more_o large_a praise_n for_o the_o lord_n show_v this_o favour_n to_o prince_n as_o to_o call_v theym_a god_n and_o that_o not_o for_o their_o own_o person_n sake_n but_o in_o consideration_n of_o the_o dignity_n wherein_o they_o be_v the_o lord_n jesus_n show_v the_o reason_n why_o that_o be_v because_o god_n have_v commit_v and_o ordain_v such_o a_o charge_n unto_o theym_n i_o think_v that_o god_n can_v not_o geve_v a_o more_o express_a testimony_n for_o the_o approbation_n of_o any_o estate_n then_o when_o he_o communicate_v his_o name_n unto_o that_o man_n which_o be_v constitute_v in_o the_o same_o as_o if_o he_o call_v he_o his_o lievetenaunt_n which_o represent_v his_o person_n wherefore_o i_o conclude_v that_o who_o so_o ever_o despise_v this_o vocation_n so_o much_o honour_v of_o god_n do_v blaspheme_v his_o heavenlye_a majesty_n they_o will_v answer_v i_o that_o to_o make_v it_o inferior_a to_o the_o christian_n perfection_n be_v not_o to_o dispraise_n it_o but_o i_o reply_n that_o they_o can_v not_o speak_v with_o great_a contumelye_a for_o in_o sayinge_v that_o it_o can_v not_o stand_v with_o christianity_n they_o do_v reject_v it_o as_o a_o profane_a thing_n i_o pass_v not_o of_o their_o fair_a colour_n by_o which_o they_o cover_v their_o blasphemye_n in_o sayinge_v that_o it_o be_v a_o ordinance_n of_o god_n for_o the_o whole_a matter_n stand_v in_o this_o whether_o it_o be_v a_o holy_a office_n which_o may_v be_v exercise_v by_o the_o faithful_a or_o whether_o a_o man_n which_o come_v thereto_o be_v thereby_o pollute_v now_o they_o do_v say_v that_o who_o so_o ever_o do_v sytte_n in_o the_o seat_n of_o justice_n can_v not_o be_v repute_v a_o christian_n man_n because_o the_o office_n of_o a_o sword_n have_v no_o place_n in_o christ_n church_n though_o there_o be_v no_o more_o but_o that_o which_o faint_a paul_n say_v there_o be_v enough_o to_o content_a all_o such_o as_o will_v agree_v to_o reason_n he_o pronounce_v that_o prince_n be_v minister_n of_o god_n and_o that_o the_o sword_n be_v give_v theym_n by_o god_n for_o the_o conservation_n of_o the_o good_a and_o puneshement_n of_o the_o evyll_n upon_o these_o word_n these_o poor_a frensye_n man_n do_v make_v this_o gloze_n that_o it_o be_v very_o true_a that_o they_o be_v ordain_v of_o god_n but_o yet_o that_o it_o be_v not_o lawful_a for_o a_o fayethfull_a man_n to_o take_v it_o on_o he_o which_o be_v as_o one_o will_v say_v i_o confess_v that_o this_o work_n be_v command_v of_o god_n but_o there_o be_v no_o man_n that_o can_v do_v it_o with_o a_o good_a conscience_n and_o also_o who_o so_o ever_o shall_v do_v it_o shall_v forsake_v god_n i_o pray_v you_o be_v there_o any_o man_n that_o have_v but_o oune_n once_o of_o brain_n that_o will_v speak_v on_o this_o manner_n i_o will_v they_o shall_v answer_v i_o in_o this_o one_o thing_n see_v they_o put_v no_o doubt_n but_o that_o all_o handye_v craft_n which_o be_v ordain_v to_o serve_v unto_o the_o common_a utility_n of_o mankind_n be_v lawful_a and_o holy_a wherefore_o do_v they_o exclud_v out_o of_o this_o number_a the_o vocation_n of_o prince_n which_o do_v excel_v all_o the_o other_o as_o for_o example_n they_o deny_v not_o but_o that_o a_o christian_n man_n may_v be_v a_o tayloure_n or_o a_o shoemaker_n and_o yet_o these_o craft_n have_v

have_v so_o large_a approbation_n &_o praise_n of_o the_o mouth_n of_o god_n god_n do_v pronounce_v that_o prince_n and_o all_o superior_n be_v his_o minister_n and_o that_o he_o have_v ordain_v

into_o their_o hand_n what_o devyll_n constrain_v these_o frensye_n man_n to_o make_v this_o addition_n that_o the_o mamagistrate_n in_o serve_v god_n be_v shut_v out_o from_o the_o company_n of_o

to_o bear_v no_o good_a affection_n towards_o theym_n do_v command_n timothe_n that_o solemn_a prayer_n shall_v be_v make_v for_o they_o in_o the_o church_n add_v for_o a_o reason_n that_o god_n

it_o behove_v a_o prince_n to_o geve_v over_o his_o dignity_n to_o become_v a_o christian_n man_n it_o shall_v follow_v that_o that_o estate_n shall_v be_v void_a of_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n as_o
