that_o part_n only_o be_v there_o allow_v as_o hereafter_o shall_v appear_v the_o question_n be_v not_o here_o about_o that_o but_o about_o the_o church_n that_o be_v about_o a_o certain_a

you_o admit_v not_o a_o positive_a universality_n that_o be_v a_o be_v of_o the_o church_n in_o all_o nation_n and_o in_o all_o time_n i_o will_v demonstrate_v unto_o you_o by_o scripture_n the_o

hunt_v after_o in_o the_o former_a book_n but_o can_v not_o get_v tiding_n of_o in_o all_o the_o world_n before_o luther_n ay_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n will_v on_o further_o to_o look_v out_o this_o church_n of_o god_n but_o first_o i_o will_v have_v you_o to_o note_n that_o as_o in_o the_o natural_a body_n there_o be_v many_o superfluous_a material_a part_n of_o flesh_n fat_a and_o some_o other_o even_a in_o the_o hand_n ear_n and_o eye_n as_o you_o see_v in_o man_n that_o be_v gross_a which_o part_n though_o they_o be_v coherent_a now_o be_v not_o resume_v all_o in_o the_o resurrection_n because_o they_o will_v extend_v and_o increase_v the_o body_n unto_o more_o than_o the_o just_a bigness_n of_o the_o man_n and_o beyond_o the_o original_a proportion_n of_o the_o soul_n so_o in_o this_o mystical_a body_n of_o jesus_n christ_n be_v many_o part_n which_o will_v not_o rise_v with_o it_o unto_o glory_n and_o therefore_o be_v multiply_v above_o the_o number_n which_o be_v write_v in_o the_o book_n of_o life_n yet_o be_v call_v as_o many_o be_v call_v few_o choose_v for_o a_o time_n they_o do_v believe_v but_o they_o fall_v again_o before_o they_o die_v another_o thing_n you_o may_v note_v if_o you_o please_v that_o as_o the_o natural_a body_n receive_v the_o soul_n when_o the_o principal_a part_n be_v prepare_v do_v grow_v and_o flourish_v and_o afterward_o lose_v again_o the_o exterior_a beauty_n in_o old_a age_n so_o the_o church_n receive_v the_o spirit_n when_o by_o the_o instruction_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n the_o chief_a part_n the_o apostle_n be_v prepare_v and_o then_o do_v extend_v itself_o in_o bigness_n and_o flourish_v but_o in_o her_o old_a age_n in_o the_o day_n of_o antichrist_n she_o will_v loose_v her_o exterior_a
