the_o son_n of_o god_n shall_v not_o see_v death_n whereas_o they_o shall_v be_v in_o death_n till_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n how_o much_o rather_o and_o more_o true_o be_v it_o pronounce_v of_o

surmount_v and_o excel_v the_o degree_n &_o condition_n of_o his_o own_o reviue_n for_o he_o will_v carry_v up_o man_n to_o christ_n himself_o neither_o have_v these_o word_n be_v true_o nor_o

chéeflie_o and_o that_o excellentlie_o well_o to_o be_v refer_v unto_o christ_n so_o then_o david_n speak_v not_o alonlie_o of_o christ_n but_o also_o of_o himself_o but_o yet_o so_o far_o forth_o as_o he_o be_v in_o christ_n and_o be_v include_v among_o other_o of_o his_o member_n thou_o will_v perhaps_o say_v that_o the_o apostle_n seem_v to_o deny_v this_o which_o affirm_v it_o to_o be_v fulfil_v only_o in_o the_o lord_n i_o answer_v they_o deny_v not_o that_o the_o dead_a body_n of_o david_n be_v leave_v in_o the_o sepulchre_n for_o they_o affirm_v the_o same_o to_o be_v leave_v there_o even_o unto_o those_o time_n nor_o deny_v they_o that_o he_o see_v the_o grave_n see_v he_o be_v therein_o even_o until_o that_o day_n but_o again_o they_o deny_v not_o but_o that_o he_o shall_v from_o thence_o be_v take_v at_o the_o time_n appoint_v and_o that_o he_o shall_v at_o the_o last_o be_v raise_v from_o corruption_n wherefore_o these_o thing_n agree_v to_o david_n so_o far_o

namely_o that_o these_o thing_n belong_v also_o unto_o we_o so_o far_o forth_o as_o we_o with_o david_n be_v the_o member_n of_o christ_n for_o as_o christ_n by_o die_v overcome_v death_n not_o only_o for_o himself_o but_o also_o for_o we_o so_o by_o rise_v again_o he_o live_v both_o unto_o himself_o and_o unto_o us._n wherefore_o perfect_a life_n perpetual_a and_o eternal_a felicity_n as_o concern_v both_o the_o soul_n and_o the_o body_n do_v rest_n in_o christ_n the_o head_n and_o by_o little_a and_o little_o distil_v and_o flow_v into_o the_o member_n according_a to_o the_o analogy_n

as_o david_n say_v we_o be_v conceive_v in_o iniquity_n but_o christ_n by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n beside_o this_o it_o be_v very_o meet_a 18._o matth._n 1._o 18._o that_o the_o head_n shall_v go_v

do_v wait_v until_o the_o full_a number_n of_o the_o brethren_n be_v complete_a 33_o but_o see_v in_o the_o place_n now_o allege_v there_o be_v only_o mention_v make_v of_o the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o bless_a some_o man_n perhaps_o will_v doubt_v wicked_a whither_o the_o resurrection_n belong_v also_o to_o the_o wicked_a whether_o the_o wicked_a shall_v be_v also_o raise_v from_o the_o dead_a we_o answer_v that_o the_o resurrection_n do_v also_o belong_v unto_o they_o because_o even_o as_o in_o adam_n all_o do_v perish_v 22_o 1._o cor._n 15_o 22_o and_o be_v wrap_v in_o the_o sentence_n of_o death_n so_o shall_v all_o be_v quicken_v in_o christ_n but_o this_o difference_n there_o be_v that_o the_o godly_a shall_v be_v raise_v up_o to_o glory_n but_o the_o ungodlie_a to_o

therefore_o the_o holy_a scripture_n have_v the_o often_o make_v mention_n of_o the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o faithful_a because_o that_o be_v the_o resurrection_n of_o life_n the_o other_o which_o be_v of_o the_o reprobate_n may_v rather_o be_v call_v a_o everlasting_a fall_n and_o destruction_n than_o life_n and_o resurrection_n for_o which_o cause_n the_o prophet_n esaie_n in_o the_o 26._o

must_v assure_v ourselves_o that_o by_o the_o benefit_n of_o christ_n life_n shall_v be_v restore_v aswell_o unto_o the_o good_a as_o unto_o the_o bad_a but_o the_o godly_a shall_v be_v honour_v
