and_o age_n or_o else_o shall_v all_o rise_v at_o a_o perfect_a age_n and_o stature_n because_o of_o the_o word_n of_o saint_n paul_n in_o his_o epistle_n to_o the_o ephesian_n till_o we_o all_o come_v unto_o a_o perfect_a man_n to_o the_o measure_n of_o the_o stature_n of_o the_o fullness_n of_o christ_n then_o whether_o body_n shall_v arise_v with_o the_o same_o deformity_n and_o defect_n which_o they_o have_v live_v as_o crooked_a lame_a blind_a or_o otherwise_o mutilation_n of_o member_n see_v christ_n arise_v with_o the_o same_o wound_n which_o he_o receive_v when_o his_o body_n be_v pierce_v with_o the_o spear_n and_o many_o such_o question_n move_v more_o out_o of_o vain_a curiosity_n then_o tend_v to_o edification_n and_o which_o perhaps_o may_v probabable_o be_v argue_v as_o have_v colour_n on_o both_o side_n but_o can_v never_o direct_o be_v define_v as_o have_v warrant_n on_o either_o side_n reason_n may_v make_v conjecture_n of_o it_o but_o faith_n will_v build_v no_o certainty_n on_o it_o it_o may_v be_v sufficient_a for_o we_o to_o believe_v that_o the_o body_n of_o all_o man_n shall_v rise_v at_o the_o last_o day_n and_o stand_v at_o the_o tribunal_n of_o christ_n who_o shall_v come_v from_o heaven_n to_o judge_v the_o quick_a and_o the_o dead_a and_o now_o have_v believe_v the_o two_o article_n that_o proper_o relate_v to_o the_o son_n of_o god_n christ_n jesus_n the_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n and_o the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o body_n it_o follow_v fit_o to_o believe_v the_o article_n that_o proper_o relate_v to_o god_n the_o father_n the_o life_n everlasting_a and_o it_o follow_v not_o only_o fit_o but_o very_o necessary_o for_o if_o we_o shall_v not_o add_v the_o life_n everlasting_a it_o may_v be_v think_v that_o our_o resurrection_n be_v but_o like_o they_o who_o rise_v at_o the_o time_n of_o christ_n rise_n and_o appear_v to_o many_o in_o the_o holy_a city_n who_o rise_v indeed_o but_o then_o die_v again_o at_o least_o who_o can_v tell_v what_o become_v of_o they_o and_o so_o our_o belief_n shall_v cast_v anchor_n in_o a_o very_a unsafe_a harbour_n but_o now_o by_o add_v the_o life_n everlasting_a we_o make_v the_o resurrection_n of_o our_o body_n a_o perpetuity_n and_o believe_v they_o shall_v rise_v again_o never_o any_o more_o to_o die_v and_o indeed_o how_o can_v it_o be_v otherwise_o see_v there_o never_o be_v but_o one_o sentence_n of_o death_n denounce_v against_o man_n and_o that_o sentence_v once_o execute_v by_o his_o die_v once_o there_o be_v no_o new_a sentence_n of_o die_v any_o more_o and_o therefore_o the_o body_n be_v believe_v to_o be_v raise_v from_o the_o dead_a the_o life_n everlasting_a will_v be_v believe_v of_o course_n death_n indeed_o be_v a_o debt_n due_a to_o nature_n and_o a_o debt_n that_o nature_n look_v to_o have_v pay_v but_o yet_o nature_n be_v not_o so_o unjust_a to_o look_v that_o a_o debt_n shall_v be_v pay_v she_o more_o than_o once_o and_o therefore_o the_o body_n have_v pay_v the_o debt_n once_o by_o die_v once_o if_o it_o can_v get_v to_o rise_v again_o and_o live_v it_o will_v not_o be_v then_o in_o nature_n debt_n any_o more_o and_o therefore_o can_v

mention_v make_v of_o the_o virgin_n mary_n be_v it_o not_o enough_o to_o believe_v that_o christ_n be_v bear_v of_o a_o virgin_n but_o there_o must_v be_v add_v the_o virgin_n mary_n indeed_o it_o be_v add_v very_o just_o for_o by_o this_o it_o appear_v that_o christ_n be_v descend_v of_o the_o lineage_n of_o david_n his_o mother_n be_v of_o the_o same_o lineage_n as_o the_o prophet_n have_v foretell_v the_o true_a christ_n shall_v be_v and_o this_o be_v no_o small_a strengthen_n to_o our_o belief_n that_o christ_n be_v the_o true_a messiah_n but_o how_o be_v it_o like_v that_o mary_n be_v a_o virgin_n when_o she_o have_v a_o husband_n at_o least_o how_o can_v we_o believe_v she_o be_v a_o virgin_n when_o she_o have_v a_o child_n be_v it_o not_o that_o her_o marriage_n be_v inchoate_n indeed_o but_o not_o consummate_v she_o be_v desponsata_fw-la but_o not_o nupta_fw-la she_o be_v not_o marry_v and_o therefore_o espouse_v that_o there_o may_v be_v one_o to_o take_v care_n of_o she_o and_o her_o child_n when_o it_o shall_v be_v bear_v but_o why_o shall_v her_o husband_n take_v care_n of_o a_o child_n that_o be_v none_o of_o his_o own_o may_v he_o not_o rather_o just_o suspect_v she_o to_o have_v play_v false_a with_o he_o and_o therefore_o rather_o put_v she_o to_o shame_n at_o least_o put_v she_o from_o he_o then_o to_o take_v she_o to_o he_o it_o be_v indeed_o a_o hard_a matter_n to_o make_v one_o believe_v that_o a_o woman_n shall_v have_v a_o child_n and_o not_o accompany_v with_o man_n but_o as_o it_o be_v the_o holy_a ghost_n that_o wrought_v the_o conception_n of_o christ_n in_o his_o mother_n womb_n so_o it_o be_v the_o holy_a ghost_n that_o wrought_v this_o belief_n in_o the_o mind_n of_o her_o husband_n joseph_n that_o the_o angel_n tell_v he_o true_a when_o he_o say_v unto_o he_o fear_v not_o joseph_n to_o take_v mary_n thy_o wife_n for_o that_o which_o be_v conceive_v in_o she_o be_v of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o though_o she_o be_v the_o mother_n of_o a_o child_n yet_o she_o continue_v a_o virgin_n still_o for_o neither_o the_o conception_n of_o christ_n nor_o the_o birth_n of_o christ_n do_v abrogate_v her_o virginity_n but_o rather_o make_v she_o if_o not_o a_o more_o virgin_n at_o least_o a_o pure●_n virgin_n than_o she_o be_v before_o for_o such_o be_v the_o purity_n of_o christ_n body_n that_o it_o make_v all_o passage_n the_o ●urer_n by_o which_o it_o pass_v and_o therefore_o it_o may_v be_v pious_o believe_v and_o without_o hyperbole_n that_o as_o she_o be_v virgo_fw-la ante_fw-la partum_fw-la so_o she_o be_v virgo_fw-la in_o partu_fw-la and_o virgo_fw-la post_fw-la partum_fw-la a_o virgin_n before_o the_o birth_n and_o in_o the_o birth_n and_o after_o the_o birth_n for_o though_o she_o have_v purification_n yet_o that_o perhaps_o be_v but_o as_o christ_n have_v baptism_n to_o fulfil_v all_o righteousness_n and_o as_o christ_n be_v conceive_v of_o mary_n without_o sin_n so_o mary_n be_v deliver_v of_o christ_n without_o pain_n for_o it_o be_v but_o just_a that_o she_o who_o bring_v he_o forth_o that_o free_a mankind_n from_o the_o general_a curse_n shall_v in_o bring_v he_o forth_o be_v free_v herself_o from_o the_o particular_a curse_n lay_v upon_o womankind_n which_o be_v that_o in_o sorrow_n they_o shall_v bring_v forth_o child_n but_o if_o jesus_n christ_n be_v bear_v of_o
