of_o the_o first_o resurrection_n and_o rise_v not_o till_o the_o thousand_o year_n be_v end_v now_o the_o resurrection_n whereof_o daniel_n speak_v in_o verse_n 2._o be_v express_o of_o the_o wicked_a to_o shame_n and_o death_n as_o well_o as_o of_o the_o godly_a to_o life_n and_o glory_n as_o for_o their_o argument_n from_o the_o word_n many_o it_o prove_v not_o that_o all_o do_v not_o rise_v but_o only_o that_o these_o that_o do_v rise_v be_v many_o and_o a_o great_a multitude_n therefore_o deodate_v translate_v the_o word_n well_o according_a to_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o original_a the_o multitude_n of_o these_o that_o sleep_n in_o the_o dust_n the_o collective_n omnes_fw-la &_o multi_fw-la be_v sometime_o synonemy_n according_a to_o the_o matter_n in_o hand_n as_o omnes_fw-la must_v sometime_o be_v take_v for_o multi_fw-la so_fw-mi multi_fw-la must_v sometime_o be_v take_v for_o omnes_fw-la second_o they_o reason_n from_o the_o three_o verse_n that_o in_o the_o last_o resurrection_n the_o body_n of_o all_o the_o saint_n shall_v shine_v as_o the_o sun_n but_o in_o the_o resurrection_n whereof_o the_o prophet_n speak_v no_o body_n shine_v as_o the_o sun_n but_o some_o as_o the_o star_n other_o as_o the_o firmament_n answ_n the_o precede_a verse_n evince_v unanswerable_o that_o the_o prophet_n here_o be_v speak_v of_o the_o last_o resurrection_n to_o life_n everlasting_a as_o for_o the_o argument_n it_o do_v not_o follow_v that_o they_o who_o here_o be_v say_v to_o have_v so_o much_o glory_n may_v not_o elsewhere_o be_v say_v to_o have_v more_o for_o that_o which_o here_o the_o prophet_n intend_v to_o express_v be_v not_o the_o absolute_a but_o the_o comparative_a glory_n of_o the_o saint_n however_o the_o least_o disciple_n shall_v shine_v as_o the_o sun_n yet_o if_o you_o compare_v his_o glory_n with_o the_o great_a light_n of_o a_o other_o you_o may_v express_v the_o glory_n of_o both_o in_o the_o similitude_n of_o lightsome_a body_n less_o glorious_a than_o the_o sun_n if_o so_o these_o body_n differ_v one_o from_o another_o in_o degree_n of_o glory_n for_o all_o that_o the_o prophet_n here_o aim_v at_o be_v only_o this_o difference_n of_o glory_n christ_n in_o the_o gospel_n make_v all_o the_o saint_n to_o shine_v as_o the_o sun_n yet_o the_o apostle_n 1_o cor._n 15.45_o distinguish_v the_o different_a degree_n of_o glory_n that_o be_v among_o the_o saint_n scruple_n not_o to_o express_v the_o glory_n of_o the_o most_o of_o they_o in_o the_o similitude_n of_o body_n less_o glorious_a than_o the_o sun_n there_o be_v one_o glory_n of_o the_o sun_n another_o glory_n of_o the_o moon_n another_o of_o the_o star_n for_o one_o star_n differ_v from_o another_o star_n in_o glory_n so_o also_o be_v the_o

far_o change_v as_o to_o shine_v like_o the_o star_n and_o yet_o to_o eat_v drink_n and_o sleep_v so_o much_o glory_n can_v hardly_o stand_v with_o so_o much_o baseness_n three_o they_o reason_n from_o the_o four_o verse_n the_o last_o resurrection_n be_v no_o mystery_n nor_o any_o secret_a to_o be_v seal_v up_o to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o vision_n but_o the_o resurrection_n here_o speak_v

for_o the_o first_o resurrection_n to_o the_o thousand_o year_n of_o glory_n he_o make_v a_o doctrine_n very_o well_o know_v and_o much_o insist_v upon_o by_o all_o the_o prophet_n before_o christ_n
