A26882	Catholick communion doubly defended by Dr. Owens, vindicator, and Richard Baxter and the state of that communion opened, and the questions discussed, whether there be any displeasure at sin, or repentance for it in Heaven : with a parallel of the case of using a faulty translation of Scripture, and a faulty lyturgy.	Baxter, Richard, 1615-1691.	1684 (1684)	Wing B1208; ESTC R11859	46,778	44

of_o the_o case_n man_n in_o flesh_n have_v sin_n and_o danger_n and_o body_n liable_a to_o sensible_a commotion_n of_o spirit_n and_o so_o to_o grief_n those_o in_o heaven_n be_v not_o such_o they_o have_v no_o cause_n of_o grief_n and_o yet_o have_v renew_v faculty_n of_o mind_n and_o will_n which_o disgust_v sin_n and_o hate_v it_o and_o be_v turn_v from_o it_o to_o a_o contrary_a love_n and_o life_n even_o here_o if_o a_o man_n by_o his_o own_o sin_n and_o folly_n have_v shut_v up_o himself_o twenty_o year_n in_o a_o dungeon_n or_o put_v out_o his_o eye_n and_o never_o see_v the_o light_n suppose_v this_o man_n sudden_o deliver_v into_o the_o light_n and_o he_o will_v not_o stay_v to_o mourn_v for_o his_o former_a state_n but_o the_o sudden_a joy_n will_v exclude_v sorrow_n and_o yet_o his_o change_n will_v be_v a_o true_a repentance_n for_o what_o he_o do_v but_o as_o you_o have_v wrong_v all_o protestant_n by_o father_v your_o error_n on_o they_o you_o have_v make_v it_o my_o duty_n to_o vindicate_v they_o with_o myself_o but_o i_o be_o grow_v such_o a_o prodigal_n of_o my_o reputation_n with_o man_n of_o such_o a_o judge_a disposition_n that_o i_o will_v cast_v away_o a_o little_a more_o of_o it_o on_o your_o censure_n the_o scripture_n speak_v so_o much_o more_o of_o our_o glory_n after_o the_o resurrection_n than_o before_o and_o purposely_o keep_v we_o so_o low_a in_o our_o knowledge_n of_o the_o particular_a state_n of_o soul_n before_o and_o calvin_n who_o i_o suppose_v you_o take_v not_o for_o a_o heretic_n for_o all_o his_o treatise_n against_o the_o sleep_n of_o soul_n do_v think_v the_o difference_n be_v so_o great_a between_o the_o state_n of_o the_o separate_a soul_n and_o that_o at_o the_o resurrection_n that_o i_o must_v profess_v my_o ignorance_n to_o be_v so_o great_a that_o i_o be_o uncertain_a whether_o this_o first_o state_n do_v set_v all_o the_o bless_a so_o high_a as_o that_o no_o thought_n be_v consistent_a with_o it_o that_o have_v the_o least_o degree_n of_o suffering_n for_o 1._o i_o know_v that_o all_o creature_n be_v passive_a 2._o if_o felicity_n be_v imperfect_a till_o the_o resurrection_n it_o must_v be_v privative_o or_o positive_o or_o both_o if_o privative_o how_o can_v i_o prove_v that_o nothing_o positive_a may_v concur_v when_o privation_n be_v as_o bad_a 3._o i_o think_v that_o protestant_n most_o agree_v that_o christ_n own_o soul_n while_o his_o body_n be_v in_o the_o grave_a be_v in_o paradise_n in_o joy_n and_o yet_o in_o a_o state_n that_o be_v partly_o penal_a as_o it_o be_v a_o separation_n from_o the_o body_n by_o death_n and_o that_o all_o soul_n in_o heaven_n be_v happy_a and_o yet_o in_o a_o state_n partly_o penal_a in_o heaven_n itself_o as_o they_o be_v separate_v from_o the_o body_n and_o short_a of_o the_o resurrection_n for_o not_o only_o the_o minute_n of_o die_v but_o the_o state_n of_o death_n be_v penal_a to_o a_o soul_n that_o desire_v a_o return_n to_o the_o body_n and_o yet_o heaven_n may_v be_v to_o it_o unconceivable_a felicity_n i_o only_o hence_o conclude_v that_o we_o must_v not_o take_v on_o we_o to_o know_v more_o than_o we_o do_v of_o separate_a soul_n nor_o to_o make_v a_o measure_n or_o manner_n of_o blessedness_n for_o they_o of_o our_o own_o head_n nor_o to_o apply_v every_o text_n to_o they_o that_o be_v speak_v of_o the_o
