they_o that_o have_v body_n and_o soul_n know_v that_o there_o be_v a_o duty_n lie_v upon_o they_o to_o glorify_v god_n in_o their_o life_n both_o in_o their_o body_n and_o soul_n the_o next_o point_n be_v this_o that_o the_o sinful_a body_n have_v a_o dead_a soul_n every_o sinful_a body_n wallow_v in_o sin_n have_v a_o dead_a soul_n so_o we_o read_v 1_o tim._n 1.5_o the_o woman_n live_v in_o

thou_o live_v but_o thou_o be_v dead_a our_o saviour_n christ_n say_v unto_o the_o surviver_n of_o those_o that_o be_v dead_a surviver_n unto_o they_o and_o go_v and_o attend_v their_o funeral_n and_o

be_v more_o ugly_a and_o odious_a in_o the_o sight_n of_o man_n then_o the_o carcase_n of_o man_n so_o there_o be_v nothing_o more_o detestable_a in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n than_o a_o wicked_a obstinate_a and_o impenitent_a sinner_n again_o the_o mortify_a body_n have_v a_o live_a soul_n it_o be_v necessary_a that_o this_o be_v preach_v unto_o all_o the_o world_n because_o most_o of_o the_o world_n have_v forget_v themselves_o and_o the_o principal_a part_n of_o christianity_n consist_v in_o this_o mortification_n and_o sanctification_n we_o all_o live_v in_o sin_n do_v thou_o live_v in_o actual_a sin_n bodily_a sin_n thou_o be_v dead_a if_o thou_o be_v not_o mortify_v in_o they_o give_v up_o your_o body_n a_o live_a sacrifice_n that_o be_v mortification_n let_v not_o sin_n

you_o see_v that_o this_o be_v a_o matter_n on_o which_o consist_v eternal_a life_n the_o apostle_n tell_v we_o if_o you_o mortify_v the_o lust_n of_o the_o flesh_n you_o shall_v live_v if_o not_o you_o shall_v die_v it_o be_v a_o matter_n of_o life_n and_o death_n which_o be_v to_o show_v that_o those_o that_o be_v mortify_v man_n have_v a_o live_a soul_n again_o we_o must_v take_v heed_n of_o bodily_a and_o actual_a transgression_n for_o i_o must_v tell_v you_o that_o these_o act_n of_o man_n do_v in_o their_o body_n shall_v have_v resurrection_n with_o they_o even_o with_o their_o body_n this_o be_v a_o profitable_a point_n for_o god_n see_v all_o thing_n before_o he_o all_o thing_n that_o have_v be_v or_o can_v be_v he_o see_v they_o all_o in_o present_a as_o it_o be_v in_o present_a

that_o be_v the_o moral_a point_n about_o which_o i_o have_v study_v not_o a_o little_a but_o foresee_v i_o shall_v trespass_v upon_o your_o patience_n i_o have_v contract_v myself_o into_o some_o few_o instruction_n concern_v the_o moral_a part_n and_o the_o first_o be_v this_o that_o the_o resurrection_n of_o christ_n require_v of_o every_o christian_a a_o conformity_n of_o holiness_n of_o life_n and_o the_o apostle_n will_v make_v it_o good_a for_o thus_o he_o say_v rom._n 6._o that_o as_o christ_n rise_v again_o so_o shall_v we_o walk_v in_o newness_n of_o life_n so_o that_o newness_n of_o life_n be_v a_o conformity_n to_o the_o resurrection_n of_o christ_n i_o speak_v of_o this_o newness_n of_o life_n the_o rather_o because_o it_o be_v a_o resurrection_n in_o itself_o so_o saint_n john_n apoc._n 20._o those_o that_o be_v partaker_n of_o the_o first_o resurrection_n say_v he_o shall_v never_o fall_v into_o the_o second_o death_n by_o the_o first_o resurrection_n newness_n of_o life_n we_o be_v make_v partaker_n of_o the_o second_o resurrection_n and_o from_o hence_o may_v arise_v divers_a instruction_n the_o first_o shall_v be_v this_o that_o all_o christian_a virtue_n they_o take_v their_o rise_n from_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o resurrection_n unto_o eternal_a life_n that_o comprehend_v all_o virtue_n that_o can_v be_v imagine_v coloss_n 1._o saint_n paul_n give_v a_o direction_n that_o we_o shall_v live_v sober_o just_o holy_o in_o this_o present_a world_n here_o be_v a_o triplicative_a virtue_n which_o contain_v all_o other_o we_o must_v live_v sober_o this_o require_v temperance_n and_o sobriety_n etc._n etc._n just_o that_o extend_v to_o all_o relation_n we_o have_v to_o superior_n or_o governor_n and_o the_o other_o be_v holiness_n which_o bring_v upon_o we_o all_o the_o obligation_n that_o we_o have_v concern_v god_n and_o his_o worship_n in_o this_o present_a world_n what_o follow_v look_v for_o the_o hope_n of_o the_o mighty_a god_n and_o of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n belove_a how_o shall_v this_o ravish_v the_o heart_n of_o man_n to_o live_v sober_o just_o and_o holy_o in_o this_o present_a world_n when_o as_o the_o true_a christian_a regenerate_v may_v say_v with_o the_o holy_a apostle_n that_o he_o have_v a_o expectation_n a_o hope_n a_o look_v for_o the_o appearance_n the_o bless_a appearance_n the_o glorious_a appearance_n of_o god_n a_o mighty_a god_n and_o of_o our_o lord_n and_o saviour_n jesus_n christ_n here_o you_o see_v that_o our_o salvation_n depend_v upon_o these_o triplicite_a virtue_n again_o saint_n paul_n 1_o cor._n 13._o say_v thus_o there_o be_v the_o three_o faith_n hope_n and_o charity_n what_o have_v these_o to_o do_v with_o the_o resurrection_n certain_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o resurrection_n be_v make_v sure_a by_o these_o therefore_o for_o faith_n first_o be_v it_o know_v unto_o you_o i_o speak_v of_o a_o live_a faith_n not_o of_o a_o dead_a faith_n void_a of_o repentance_n and_o newness_n of_o life_n this_o be_v a_o dead_a faith_n which_o he_o call_v a_o devilish_a faith_n but_o i_o speak_v of_o that_o faith_n which_o saint_n paul_n affirm_v to_o work_v by_o love_n of_o this_o faith_n our_o saviour_n christ_n say_v he_o that_o believe_v in_o i_o though_o he_o die_v yet_o shall_v be_v live_v here_o be_v live_v of_o die_v this_o be_v a_o resurrection_n and_o he_o that_o believe_v this_o do_v believe_v he_o shall_v rise_v the_o next_o to_o faith_n be_v charity_n of_o this_o st._n john_n speak_v we_o know_v we_o be_v translate_v from_o death_n to_o life_n because_o we_o love_v the_o brethren_n therefore_o love_v the_o brethren_n because_o we_o shall_v be_v preserve_v from_o death_n to_o life_n now_o come_v to_o open_v it_o and_o that_o in_o the_o old_a testament_n where_o it_o be_v say_v the_o people_n of_o god_n be_v torment_v rack_v suffer_v all_o manner_n of_o persecution_n because_o they_o look_v for_o a_o better_a resurrection_n that_o be_v the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o body_n to_o be_v better_a than_o all_o the_o torment_n and_o affliction_n the_o world_n can_v lay_v upon_o they_o sure_o belove_v we_o can_v look_v for_o no_o better_a resurrection_n than_o these_o holy_a man_n do_v that_o suffer_v for_o the_o resurrection_n but_o we_o may_v better_o look_v for_o it_o then_o they_o they_o look_v upon_o it_o with_o dim_a eye_n and_o they_o believe_v but_o we_o have_v open_a eye_n we_o may_v see_v it_o by_o most_o evident_a demonstration_n they_o never_o see_v christ_n raise_v from_o the_o dead_a reign_v in_o majesty_n in_o eternity_n and_o glory_n this_o doctrine_n be_v we_o make_v sensible_a of_o now_o therefore_o say_v the_o apostle_n if_o we_o suffer_v with_o he_o we_o shall_v also_o be_v glorify_v with_o he_o so_o much_o for_o our_o hope_n the_o second_o point_n be_v this_o that_o our_o first_o resurrection_n require_v that_o our_o worship_n and_o service_n unto_o god_n in_o holiness_n be_v as_o well_o perform_v in_o body_n as_o in_o soul_n thus_o the_o apostle_n 1_o cor._n 1.6_o glorify_v god_n in_o your_o body_n and_o soul_n you_o be_v buy_v with_o a_o price_n glorify_v god_n with_o
