of_o sin_n to_o such_o for_o who_o christ_n die_v not_o but_o more_o of_o that_o anon_o i_o pass_v at_o present_a to_o the_o second_o reason_n to_o prove_v that_o god_n give_v christ_n to_o die_v for_o all_o man_n to_o bring_v they_o to_o a_o resurrection_n and_o glory_n as_o before_o say_v which_o be_v reas_n 2._o second_o because_o as_o god_n have_v swear_v not_o to_o take_v pleasure_n in_o

knowledge_n of_o the_o truth_n for_o there_o be_v one_o god_n and_o one_o mediator_n between_o god_n and_o man_n the_o man_n christ_n jesus_n who_o give_v himself_o a_o ransom_n for_o all_o to_o be_v

read_v the_o word_n of_o saint_n paul_n rom._n 5.18_o 19_o which_o say_v therefore_o as_o by_o the_o offence_n of_o one_o judgement_n come_v upon_o all_o man_n to_o condemnation_n even_o so_o by_o the_o righteousness_n the_o free_a gift_n come_v upon_o all_o man_n unto_o justification_n of_o life_n for_o as_o by_o one_o man_n disobedience_n many_o be_v make_v sinner_n so_o by_o the_o

in_o die_v thou_o shall_v die_v and_o so_o i_o pass_v to_o the_o second_o reason_n to_o prove_v that_o adam_n sin_n do_v not_o make_v he_o guilty_a of_o nor_o liable_a to_o the_o second_o death_n

adam_n sin_n do_v not_o make_v he_o guilty_a of_o the_o second_o death_n which_o be_v reas_n 3._o three_o because_o if_o adam_n have_v be_v guilty_a of_o the_o second_o death_n and_o that_o be_v the_o

second_o death_n be_v because_o the_o scripture_n say_v that_o god_n will_v by_o no_o mean_n clear_v the_o guilty_a exod._n 34.7_o but_o if_o god_n do_v send_v christ_n to_o take_v away_o the_o second_o death_n so_o that_o many_o taste_v it_o not_o and_o none_o taste_v it_o for_o that_o sin_n commit_v in_o paradise_n rom._n 5.18_o then_o god_n do_v use_v a_o mean_n to_o clear_v the_o guilty_a and_o so_o his_o word_n be_v yea_o and_o nay_o and_o not_o yea_o and_o amen_o but_o it_o be_v the_o guilt_n of_o the_o first_o death_n god_n spare_v not_o his_o own_o precious_a one_o but_o we_o must_v needs_o die_v and_o be_v as_o water_v spill_v upon_o the_o ground_n which_o can_v be_v gather_v neither_o do_v god_n respect_v the_o person_n of_o any_o man_n yet_o he_o have_v use_v a_o

so_o give_v way_n to_o mercy_n and_o thus_o i_o pass_v to_o the_o four_o reason_n to_o prove_v that_o the_o sin_n commit_v in_o paradise_n make_v not_o adam_n guilty_a and_o liable_a to_o the_o second_o death_n which_o be_v reas_n 4._o four_o because_o it_o argue_v a_o change_n in_o god_n in_o what_o he_o have_v absolute_o decree_v for_o god_n do_v absolute_o decree_v that_o if_o adam_n do_v

etc._n add_v this_o also_o it_o make_v god_n to_o be_v a_o liar_n and_o the_o devil_n to_o speak_v the_o truth_n which_o be_v blasphemy_n to_o assert_v for_o as_o god_n say_v that_o if_o adam_n eat_v he_o shall_v die_v so_o the_o devil_n say_v they_o shall_v not_o die_v now_o if_o this_o be_v the_o second_o death_n there_o mention_v and_o adam_n not_o die_v that_o death_n and_o yet_o do_v eat_v judge_v who_o it_o be_v that_o speak_v the_o truth_n but_o it_o be_v the_o first_o death_n that_o god_n intend_v in_o that_o place_n god_n word_n be_v fulfil_v adam_n do_v so_o die_v and_o so_o god_n word_n be_v true_a and_o the_o devil_n be_v a_o liar_n from_o the_o beginning_n but_o say_v my_o antagonist_n god_n may_v alter_v in_o his_o threaten_n as_o in_o nineveh_n and_o hezekiah_n and_o the_o

he_o do_v decree_n and_o declare_v it_o that_o in_o what_o instant_n he_o speak_v as_o touch_v the_o destroy_n of_o a_o people_n if_o they_o do_v repent_v than_o he_o also_o will_v repent_v of_o the_o evil_a that_o he_o say_v he_o will_v bring_v upon_o they_o jer._n 18._o but_o nineveh_n do_v repent_v and_o proclaim_v a_o fast_a and_o therefore_o god_n be_v engage_v according_a to_o his_o word_n not_o to_o destroy_v they_o but_o the_o case_n be_v not_o so_o with_o adam_n and_o also_o hezekiah_n do_v repent_v and_o humble_v himself_o with_o mourning_n and_o so_o god_n be_v constrain_v to_o hear_v and_o answer_v his_o desire_n according_a to_o his_o word_n hence_o he_o have_v mercy_n on_o the_o house_n of_o ahab_n when_o he_o humble_v himself_o yet_o god_n change_v not_o in_o what_o he_o have_v decree_v but_o do_v decree_n to_o alter_v the_o dispensation_n of_o mercy_n and_o justice_n according_a to_o his_o creature_n act_n and_o thus_o i_o leave_v the_o objection_n have_v answer_v it_o before_o and_o also_o the_o reason_n and_o come_v now_o to_o the_o five_o reason_n to_o prove_v that_o adam_n sin_n do_v not_o make_v he_o guilty_a of_o or_o liable_a to_o the_o second_o death_n which_o be_v reas_n 5._o five_o because_o adam_n be_v but_o a_o natural_a man_n and_o have_v but_o a_o natural_a life_n and_o yet_o shall_v have_v live_v for_o ever_o by_o eat_v of_o the_o tree_n of_o

be_v no_o promise_n of_o a_o second_o life_n till_o after_o the_o fall_n and_o therefore_o god_n can_v not_o threaten_v man_n with_o the_o loss_n of_o that_o which_o he_o have_v not_o give_v or_o promise_v to_o give_v unto_o he_o and_o therefore_o that_o sin_n in_o paradise_n can_v not_o make_v adam_n guilty_a of_o the_o second_o death_n because_o he_o never_o have_v a_o second_o life_n or_o

therefore_o not_o guilty_a of_o the_o second_o death_n and_o so_o i_o pass_v to_o the_o six_o and_o last_o reason_n to_o prove_v that_o adam_n sin_n make_v he_o not_o guilty_a of_o the_o second_o

that_o the_o soul_n be_v in_o some_o place_n to_o be_v understand_v blood_n be_v clear_a because_o the_o life_n or_o blood_n be_v to_o be_v understand_v all_o one_o in_o many_o place_n and_o so_o it_o be_v say_v that_o christ_n make_v his_o soul_n a_o offering_n for_o sin_n and_o that_o be_v to_o be_v understand_v his_o life_n or_o more_o proper_o his_o blood_n for_o without_o blood_n there_o be_v no_o remission_n of_o sin_n and_o also_o i_o have_v before_o show_v that_o the_o greek_a word_n soul_n bear_v such_o a_o signification_n as_o blood_n and_o if_o so_o it_o be_v very_o proper_a for_o the_o soul_n viz._n blood_n to_o cry_v for_o vengeance_n for_o so_o do_v abel_n blood_n cry_v for_o vengeance_n against_o cain_n and_o also_o christ_n blood_n do_v cry_v for_o vengeance_n against_o such_o as_o be_v guilty_a of_o it_o by_o trample_v it_o under_o foot_n although_o it_o do_v speak_v for_o the_o penitent_a better_a thing_n than_o the_o blood_n of_o abel_n and_o thus_o we_o be_v to_o

which_o john_n see_v and_o declare_v when_o he_o say_v i_o see_v the_o soul_n which_o be_v slay_v for_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o the_o testimony_n which_o they_o hold_v and_o so_o i_o pass_v to_o

to_o give_v a_o account_n of_o what_o they_o have_v do_v in_o the_o body_n whether_o it_o be_v good_a or_o evil_n and_o so_o i_o come_v to_o the_o four_o reason_n to_o prove_v the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o body_n which_o be_v reas_n 4._o four_o because_o the_o same_o it_o which_o be_v sow_o in_o corruption_n the_o same_o it_o rise_v in_o incorruption_n and_o every_o seed_n shall_v have_v its_o own_o body_n as_o say_v saint_n paul_n 1_o cor._n 15.42_o so_o also_o be_v the_o resurrection_n it_o be_v sow_o in_o corruption_n it_o be_v raise_v in_o incorruption_n for_o this_o corruptible_fw-fr must_v put_v on_o incorruption_n and_o this_o mortal_a must_v put_v on_o immortality_n so_o when_o this_o corruptible_a have_v put_v on_o incorruption_n and_o this_o mortal_a shall_v have_v put_v on_o immortality_n then_o shall_v be_v bring_v to_o pass_v the_o say_n that_o be_v write_v death_n be_v swallow_v up_o in_o victory_n o_o death_n where_o be_v thy_o sting_n o_o grave_a where_o be_v thy_o victory_n which_o clear_o prove_v that_o the_o same_o that_o go_v to_o the_o dust_n the_o same_o rise_v again_o out_o of_o the_o dust_n only_o the_o corruption_n put_v on_o

because_o i_o do_v intend_v to_o speak_v more_o large_o to_o it_o anon_o that_o god_n have_v manifest_v himself_o very_o glorious_o to_o many_o that_o never_o wrought_v any_o miracle_n as_o i_o
