no_o time_n wherein_o the_o soul_n can_v be_v absent_a from_o the_o ●ody_n beside_o the_o time_n between_o death_n and_o the_o resurrection_n therefore_o what_o the_o scripture_n speak_v of_o the_o soul_n as_o ●●sent_v from_o the_o body_n can_v concern_v only_o the_o state_n of_o the_o soul_n between_o death_n and_o the_o resurrection_n at_o which_o resurrection_n the_o soul_n become_v present_a in_o the_o ●ody_n again_o the_o second_o error_n follow_v upon_o the_o former_a viz._n that_o the_o scripture_n 〈◊〉_d where_o declare_v the_o happy_a or_o glorious_a state_n of_o the_o soul_n from_o

the_o soul_n to_o be_v happy_a after_o death_n follow_v inevitable_o because_o as_o the_o state_n thereof_o when_o absent_a from_o the_o body_n by_o death_n can_v not_o be_v more_o desirable_a than_o live_v in_o the_o body_n by_o faith_n except_o it_o be_v more_o happy_a so_o be_v the_o more_o happy_a of_o the_o two_o ●s_v therefore_o tran_v 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d lie_v happy_a in_o itself_o because_o that_o

present_a with_o god_n paul_n be_v most_o confident_a of_o the_o latter_a therefore_o that_o this_o shall_v be_v a_o state_n of_o glory_n follow_v clear_o because_o the_o state_n of_o glory_n be_v throughout_o the_o scripture_n describe_v to_o be_v a_o be_v present_a with_o the_o lord_n or_o walk_v with_o or_o be_v with_o the_o lord_n or_o with_o the_o lamb_n as_o frequent_o throughout_o the_o

prove_v the_o latter_a therefore_o that_o the_o state_n thereof_o after_o death_n shall_v be_v a_o state_n of_o glory_n follow_v necessary_o because_o the_o scripture_n frequent_o make_v the_o see_v or_o behold_v god_n glory_n to_o be_v the_o special_a and_o eminent_a effect_n of_o the_o state_n or_o glory_n for_o which_o beside_o joh●_n 17.24_o forementioned_a see_v matth._n 1●_n 20_o heb._n

whereas_o it_o may_v be_v here_o object_v and_o that_o true_o that_o the_o scripture_n allege_v in_o the_o two_o last_o reason_n do_v refer_v to_o the_o state_n of_o glory_n at_o the_o resurrection_n and_o not_o to_o any_o state_n precede_v yet_o because_o the_o state_n of_o the_o soul_n when_o absent_a from_o the_o body_n be_v here_o describe_v by_o these_o very_a ●ea●●●_n of_o see_v and_o be_v with_o the_o lord_n which_o elsewhere_o describe_v the_o perfect_a state_n of_o glory_n therefore_o both_o state_n must_v needs_o be_v the_o same_o in_o nature_n or_o quality_n though_o not_o in_o degree_n both_o have_v the_o self_n same_o description_n the_o three_o error_n that_o the_o soul_n be_v mortal_a and_o dy●●_n with_o the_o body_n must_v f●ll_v if_o the_o argument_n against_o the_o former_a error_n be_v available_a for_o if_o the_o soul_n be_v happy_a after_o death_n than_o not_o moral_a but_o yet_o i_o shall_v add_v one_o argument_n against_o this_o three_o error_n viz._n if_o the_o soul_n when_o absent_a from_o the_o body_n shall_v be_v present_a with_o the_o lord_n as_o real_o as_o it_o be_v present_a in_o the_o body_n before_o death_n then_o certain_o the_o soul_n die_v not_o with_o the_o body_n but_o the_o former_a that_o the_o soul_n when_o absent_a etc._n etc._n be_v true_a for_o the_o apostle_n express_v the_o presence_n of_o the_o soul_n with_o the_o lord_n by_o that_o very_a word_n whereby_o he_o express_v the_o present_n of_o the_o soul_n in_o the_o body_n both_o which_o therefore_o ●●port_v a_o like_a real_a presence_n the_o la●er_n therefore_o that_o the_o soul_n die_v not_o with_o the_o body_n follow_v necessary_o because_o as_o the_o soul_n can_v have_v existence_n or_o be_v present_a in_o the_o body_n except_o it_o live_v there_o so_o much_o les●e_n can_v it_o be_v present_a with_o god_n that_o quicken_v all_o thing_n 1_o tim._n 6.13_o except_o it_o live_v with_o he_o see_v then_o the_o soul_n be_v present_a with_o the_o lord_n as_o

from_o that_o scripture_n which_o do_v not_o at_o all_o mention_n the_o soul_n answ_n for_o answer_v though_o the_o soul_n be_v not_o express_v yet_o that_o the_o state_n of_o the_o soul_n be_v mean_v there_o be_v most_o evident_a because_o there_o be_v a_o apparent_a division_n make_v between_o soul_n o●_n body_n both_o in_o v._o 6._o we_o be_v present_a in_o the_o body_n wherein_o be_v express_v

be_v express_v beside_o in_o both_o verse_n by_o we_o therefore_o must_v needs_o be_v mean_v the_o soul_n as_o appear_v undeniable_o because_o there_o be_v nothing_o beside_o the_o body_n that_o can_v be_v of_o the_o essence_n of_o man_n but_o the_o soul_n alone_o and_o therefore_o when_o the_o scripture_n speak_v distinct_o of_o a_o humane_a person_n it_o divide_v he_o into_o these_o two_o part_n
