communication_n and_o secondary_o in_o the_o body_n but_o contrary_o sin_n make_v its_o entrance_n first_o by_o the_o body_n and_o have_v its_o root_n and_o seat_n first_o in_o order_n of_o nature_n in_o the_o body_n &_o it_o be_v so_o communicate_v to_o the_o soul_n thus_o sin_n come_v in_o at_o the_o backdoor_n even_o at_o the_o wrong_a end_n and_o by_o the_o base_a part_n but_o grace_n come_v in_o the_o right_a way_n by_o the_o noble_a part_n sin_n have_v its_o root_n in_o the_o vile_a part_n but_o christ_n have_v his_o seat_n first_o in_o the_o better_a part_n and_o yet_o i_o must_v add_v 1._o that_o sin_n be_v not_o ripe_a till_o it_o reach_v the_o will_n though_o it_o enter_v by_o the_o flesh_n and_o sense_n it_o be_v not_o form_v nor_o to_o be_v call_v sin_n till_o it_o reach_v the_o will_n and_o as_o there_o it_o be_v situate_v but_o yet_o the_o thing_n itself_o be_v first_o in_o and_o by_o the_o flesh_n 2._o and_o the_o will_n be_v true_o the_o seat_n of_o original_a sin_n itself_o as_o well_o as_o the_o sensitive_a part_n but_o not_o the_o first_o root_n of_o the_o corruption_n though_o sin_n be_v worst_a in_o the_o rational_a part_n because_o the_o corruption_n of_o the_o best_a be_v the_o worst_a yet_o it_o be_v not_o first_o there_o but_o holiness_n be_v first_o also_o in_o the_o soul_n and_o so_o communicate_v to_o the_o body_n and_o so_o also_o glory_n itself_o will_v be_v and_o therefore_o take_v notice_n of_o the_o wise_a and_o gracious_a providence_n of_o god_n that_o take_v the_o soul_n to_o heaven_n beforehand_o that_o it_o may_v be_v first_o glorify_v and_o so_o may_v be_v fit_a to_o communicate_v glory_n to_o the_o body_n and_o so_o as_o the_o natural_a soul_n dignify_v the_o natural_a body_n and_o the_o sanctify_a soul_n do_v sanctify_v the_o body_n so_o the_o glorify_a soul_n by_o reunion_n with_o the_o body_n shall_v communicate_v its_o nature_n to_o the_o body_n at_o the_o resurrection_n and_o so_o it_o will_v be_v make_v spiritual_a immortal_a and_o incorruptible_a by_o the_o soul_n and_o soul_n and_o body_n be_v make_v such_o by_o christ_n so_o that_o by_o this_o time_n you_o may_v see_v that_o there_o be_v more_o reason_n for_o the_o resurrection_n for_o all_o the_o body_n be_v turn_v to_o earth_n than_o there_o be_v reason_n that_o a_o candle_n that_o be_v go_v out_o shall_v be_v light_v again_o by_o another_o or_o than_o there_o be_v reason_n that_o i_o shall_v put_v on_o my_o clothes_n in_o the_o morning_n which_o i_o put_v off_o at_o night_n it_o be_v true_a those_o clothes_n have_v no_o power_n to_o put_v on_o themselves_o nor_o be_v there_o any_o natural_a necessitate_v cause_n of_o it_o but_o yet_o there_o be_v a_o free_a cause_n in_o i_o that_o will_v infallible_o if_o i_o live_v and_o be_v able_a produce_v it_o for_o nature_n dispose_v i_o to_o abhor_v nakedness_n and_o desire_v my_o clothes_n and_o therefore_o in_o the_o morning_n i_o will_v put_v they_o on_o and_o so_o nature_n teach_v the_o separate_a soul_n to_o desire_v a_o reunion_n with_o its_o body_n and_o therefore_o when_o the_o resurrection_n morning_n come_v it_o will_v glad_o take_v the_o word_n from_o christ_n and_o give_v that_o vital_a touch_n to_o the_o body_n that_o shall_v revive_v it_o and_o so_o put_v on_o its_o ancient_a garment_n but_o wonderful_o change_v from_o fleshly_a to_o spiritual_a from_o dishonourable_a into_o glorious_a and_o now_o i_o hope_v you_o see_v that_o you_o may_v put_v off_o these_o clothes_n with_o patience_n and_o submission_n and_o that_o it_o be_v no_o wrong_n to_o the_o flesh_n itself_o to_o be_v put_v off_o but_o tend_v to_o its_o high_a advancement_n at_o the_o last_o though_o the_o first_o cause_n of_o sin_n and_o the_o nest_n of_o sin_n shall_v be_v so_o break_v first_o that_o it_o shall_v first_o be_v see_v what_o sin_n have_v do_v before_o it_o be_v see_v what_o grace_n will_v do_v and_o the_o fruit_n of_o our_o own_o way_n must_v first_o be_v taste_v before_o we_o shall_v full_o feed_v and_o live_v upon_o the_o bless_a fruit_n of_o the_o grace_n of_o christ_n 11._o moreover_o as_o there_o be_v a_o resurrection_n for_o the_o body_n itself_o and_o that_o to_o a_o more_o perfect_a estate_n than_o it_o can_v here_o attain_v so_o the_o whole_a nature_n shall_v be_v perfect_v beyond_o our_o present_a comprehension_n this_o life_n be_v not_o
