our_o understanding_n and_o cleanse_v the_o corruption_n of_o our_o heart_n this_o be_v the_o resurrection_n of_o which_o s._n john_n speak_v bless_v and_o holy_a be_v he_o that_o have_v part_n in_o the_o first_o resurrection_n for_o on_o such_o death_n have_v no_o power_n apocal._n 20.6_o for_o though_o death_n remain_v in_o act_n yet_o it_o be_v destroy_v in_o effect_n death_n die_v in_o christ_n and_o by_o christ_n o_o death_n where_o be_v thy_o sting_n o_o grave_n where_o be_v thy_o victory_n the_o sting_n of_o death_n be_v sin_n and_o the_o strength_n of_o sin_n be_v the_o law_n but_o thanks_o be_v unto_o god_n who_o have_v give_v we_o the_o victory_n through_o jesus_n christ_n our_o lord_n 1._o corinth_n 15.55.56.57_o so_o that_o non_fw-la est_fw-la malum_fw-la in_o

holy_a be_v he_o who_o first_o life_n secure_v he_o from_o the_o second_o death_n second_o how_o be_v we_o raise_v from_o the_o death_n of_o the_o body_n who_o be_v not_o yet_o dead_a therein_o for_o the_o apostle_n say_v not_o god_n will_v raise_v we_o up_o but_o god_n have_v raise_v we_o up_o as_o though_o it_o be_v not_o to_o come_v but_o past_a i_o answer_v first_o that_o our_o corporal_a resurrection_n be_v already_o past_a in_o the_o prevision_n of_o god_n to_o who_o all_o thing_n which_o be_v to_o come_v be_v actual_o present_a and_o in_o the_o purpose_n of_o god_n which_o change_v

of_o christ_n he_o have_v bear_v our_o infirmity_n he_o be_v wound_v for_o our_o transgression_n he_o be_v afflict_v etc._n etc._n esay_n 53._o these_o suffering_n of_o christ_n be_v already_o past_a in_o the_o eternal_a destination_n of_o the_o father_n but_o be_v yet_o to_o come_v in_o the_o actual_a oblation_n of_o himself_o i_o answer_v second_o that_o we_o be_v rise_v in_o christ_n as_o in_o our_o head_n betwixt_o who_o and_o we_o there_o be_v a_o indissoluble_a connexion_n and_o a_o inseparable_a bond_n for_o as_o there_o be_v a_o natural_a union_n in_o christ_n of_o his_o body_n and_o soul_n a_o hypostatical_a union_n of_o the_o humane_a nature_n with_o his_o divine_a person_n a_o sacramental_a union_n of_o the_o bread_n with_o his_o body_n so_o there_o be_v a_o mystical_a union_n with_o we_o he_o be_v the_o head_n and_o we_o the_o member_n therefore_o as_o in_o the_o ceremonial_a law_n the_o first_o fruit_n be_v bless_v all_o the_o residue_n be_v bless_v therein_o so_o christ_n who_o be_v the_o first_o fruit_n of_o they_o that_o sleep_v 1._o cor._n 15.20_o be_v raise_v from_o the_o dead_a we_o be_v also_o raise_v up_o in_o he_o and_o this_o be_v a_o singular_a comfort_n against_o the_o fear_n of_o death_n though_o it_o be_v the_o most_o terrible_a of_o all_o terrible_a thing_n why_o shall_v we_o fear_v to_o die_v who_o be_v already_o raise_v from_o the_o dead_a our_o life_n be_v hide_v with_o god_n in_o christ_n col._n 3.3_o will_v he_o not_o keep_v it_o safe_o who_o buy_v it_o so_o dear_o therefore_o i_o will_v lay_v i_o down_o and_o sleep_v in_o

heaven_n and_o earth_n with_o his_o essence_n presence_n and_o power_n yet_o he_o show_v not_o the_o like_a effect_n thereof_o in_o every_o place_n he_o be_v peculiarly_a in_o his_o elect_a by_o grace_n peculiar_o in_o heaven_n by_o glory_n which_o be_v the_o chamber_n of_o presence_n wherein_o we_o shall_v see_v he_o as_o he_o be_v and_o behold_v he_o face_n to_o face_n but_o what_o the_o

joh._n 14.2_o and_o that_o may_v be_v here_o imply_v by_o the_o plurality_n place_n i_o neither_o can_v conceive_v they_o as_o they_o be_v nor_o yet_o express_v what_o i_o conceive_v thereof_o i_o will_v therefore_o conclude_v this_o point_n with_o that_o excellent_a speech_n of_o s._n augustine_n concern_v the_o joy_n of_o heaven_n profectò_fw-la in_o i_o totum_fw-la non_fw-la intrabit_fw-la

he_o have_v make_v we_o sit_v together_o in_o the_o heavenly_a place_n in_o christ_n for_o as_o joseph_n dream_v genes_n 37.9_o and_o it_o be_v a_o true_a dream_n that_o the_o sun_n and_o the_o moon_n to_o wit_n jacob_n his_o father_n and_o rachel_n his_o mother_n do_v reverence_n unto_o he_o which_o yet_o she_o never_o perform_v in_o herself_o for_o rachel_n die_v before_o genes_n 35.19_o but_o in_o the_o person_n of_o jacob_n her_o husband_n when_o he_o come_v down_o into_o the_o land_n of_o egypt_n so_o we_o be_v already_o seat_v in_o the_o heavenly_a place_n not_o in_o ourselves_o but_o in_o christ_n our_o head_n who_o as_o a_o man_n take_v our_o nature_n from_o his_o mother_n and_o as_o a_o redeemer_n undertake_v our_o person_n with_o his_o father_n and_o so_o what_o he_o have_v
