how_o sad_a a_o subject_a the_o truth_n of_o a_o immortal_a soul_n and_o its_o be_v for_o ever_o it_o to_o such_o who_o the_o devil_n have_v so_o far_o get_v under_o his_o command_n and_o power_n as_o those_o visible_o be_v at_o this_o day_n pos_fw-la 10._o this_o they_o profess_o own_v also_o that_o not_o the_o same_o individual_a body_n be_v raise_v again_o which_o be_v lay_v in_o the_o dust_n but_o there_o be_v a_o change_n thereof_o in_o substance_n as_o well_o as_o in_o quality_n which_o be_v no_o new_a opinion_n but_o what_o be_v the_o heresy_n of_o the_o marcionite_n and_o the_o valentinian_o of_o old_a but_o according_a to_o the_o scripture_n it_o be_v clear_a 1._o that_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o transform_v of_o those_o vile_a body_n at_o the_o resurrection_n to_o be_v fashion_v after_o the_o glorious_a body_n of_o christ_n phil._n 3._o 21._o and_o no_o form_v of_o a_o new_a one_o which_o can_v not_o possible_o be_v understand_v if_o the_o same_o numerical_a body_n shall_v not_o be_v raise_v and_o that_o this_o change_n here_o be_v but_o in_o quality_n not_o in_o substance_n 2._o if_o the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o saint_n be_v conformable_a to_o the_o resurrection_n of_o christ_n then_o must_v it_o be_v the_o very_a same_o numerical_a body_n that_o be_v raise_v up_o from_o the_o dead_a and_o not_o another_o 3._o this_o be_v not_o job_n testimony_n only_o but_o the_o holy_a ghost_n speak_v in_o the_o scripture_n to_o we_o what_o be_v his_o assure_a hope_n herein_o that_o though_o worm_n destroy_v this_o body_n yet_o in_o his_o flesh_n shall_v he_o see_v god_n who_o he_o shall_v see_v for_o himself_o and_o his_o eye_n behold_v and_o not_o another_o job_n 19_o 26_o 27._o 4._o we_o may_v humble_o adventure_v to_o say_v it_o be_v suitable_a to_o the_o holy_a and_o unspotted_a righteousness_n of_o god_n that_o the_o same_o very_a body_n which_o do_v accompany_v the_o soul_n here_o in_o the_o pain_n and_o labour_n of_o duty_n and_o under_o much_o tribulation_n for_o the_o truth_n shall_v be_v its_o companion_n in_o glory_n that_o those_o who_o strive_v together_o and_o run_v in_o one_o race_n shall_v be_v both_o interest_v in_o the_o

if_o this_o be_v a_o matter_n of_o such_o weight_n whereon_o serious_a religion_n and_o mortification_n to_o the_o flesh_n lean_v so_o much_o as_o they_o will_v have_v we_o believe_v it_o be_v then_o

preference_n 2._o then_o the_o christian_a church_n must_v take_v a_o new_a copy_n and_o have_v no_o regard_n to_o the_o example_n and_o deport_n of_o the_o saint_n this_o way_n in_o scripture_n such_o as_o nathan_n the_o prophet_n of_o who_o the_o holy_a ghost_n record_v when_o he_o come_v in_o to_o the_o king_n he_o bow_v himself_o to_o the_o very_a ground_n 1_o king_n 1._o 23._o or_o the_o

3._o if_o a_o conformity_n to_o this_o mode_n and_o way_n must_v be_v a_o essential_a requisite_a to_o religion_n we_o must_v quit_v the_o scripture-rule_n also_o leu._n 19_o 32._o thou_o shall_v

be_v this_o for_o those_o who_o find_v it_o easy_a to_o turn_v the_o great_a reality_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o most_o express_a institution_n of_o the_o word_n into_o a_o shadow_n and_o allegory_n yet_o to_o lay_v such_o a_o stress_n of_o duty_n on_o a_o outward_a gesture_n do_v they_o think_v the_o world_n be_v such_o as_o they_o may_v impose_v upon_o it_o what_o they_o please_v and_o have_v so_o far_o lose_v reason_n though_o there_o be_v no_o sense_n of_o religion_n as_o not_o to_o discern_v such_o a_o imposture_n sect_n iii_o have_v touch_v a_o little_a the_o most_o concern_v tenet_n which_o these_o great_a adversary_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o his_o truth_n do_v public_a own_o in_o their_o doctrine_n we_o will_v in_o the_o second_o place_n serious_o consider_v what_o so_o
