henoch_n deus_fw-la à _fw-la terrâ_fw-la subduxerit_fw-la god_n withdraw_v henoch_n after_o a_o unusual_a manner_n from_o the_o earth_n and_o of_o he_o say_v the_o author_n of_o the_o book_n of_o wisdom_n chap_n 4.10_o he_o please_v god_n and_o be_v belove_v of_o he_o so_o that_o live_v among_o sinner_n he_o be_v translate_v the_o same_o say_v the_o wise_a syracide_n ecclus_n 44.16_o so_o do_v paul_n by_o faith_n henoch_n be_v translate_v that_o he_o shall_v not_o see_v death_n heb_fw-mi 11.5_o answ_n i_o grant_v that_o henoch_n be_v translate_v for_o so_o say_v the_o scripture_n but_o concern_v the_o manner_n how_o and_o the_o place_n whither_o adhuc_fw-la sub_fw-la judice_fw-la lie_fw-la est_fw-la there_o be_v the_o question_n for_o in_o the_o scripture_n we_o read_v of_o a_o translation_n to_o grace_n as_o well_o as_o of_o a_o translation_n to_o glory_n 1_o coloss_n 13._o the_o apostle_n say_v that_o god_n have_v translate_v we_o into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o his_o deer_n son_n and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o all_o this_o he_o have_v not_o as_o yet_o transport_v we_o both_o body_n and_o soul_n into_o the_o glorious_a kingdom_n of_o heaven_n that_o henoch_n translation_n shall_v consist_v in_o the_o evection_n and_o exaltation_n of_o his_o humane_a body_n into_o heaven_n i_o can_v hardly_o grant_v for_o this_o as_o i_o conceive_v will_v quite_o evert_v and_o overthrow_v that_o assertion_n of_o the_o apostle_n that_o christ_n be_v the_o first_o fruit_n of_o those_o that_o sleep_v 1_o cor_n 15._o and_o that_o other_o of_o the_o same_o apostle_n that_o christ_n in_o all_o thing_n have_v the_o preeminence_n coloss_n 1.18_o yea_o and_o that_o say_n of_o christ_n himself_o also_o joh_n 3.13_o no_o man_n have_v ascend_v up_o into_o heaven_n but_o he_o that_o come_v down_o from_o heaven_n even_o the_o son_n of_o man_n which_o be_v in_o heaven_n and_o if_o i_o must_v needs_o err_v concern_v one_o i_o will_v rather_o choose_v to_o detract_v something_o from_o the_o honour_n &_o repute_v of_o henoch_n then_o derogate_v the_o least_o jot_n or_o title_n from_o the_o glory_n honour_n &_o preeminence_n of_o christ_n sure_o i_o be_o that_o st_n chrysostome_n be_v so_o far_o from_o avouch_v the_o body_n of_o henoch_n to_o be_v in_o heaven_n that_o he_o condemn_v it_o of_o curiosity_n to_o inquire_v what_o be_v become_v of_o he_o or_o to_o what_o end_n he_o be_v translate_v hom_o heb_fw-mi 22._o &_o jer_n 21.6_o ob_fw-la but_o of_o henoch_n the_o apostle_n say_v that_o he_o be_v so_o translate_v that_o he_o shall_v not_o see_v death_n heb_fw-mi 11.5_o sol_fw-mi the_o same_o say_v christ_n of_o every_o true_a believer_n joh_n 8.51_o very_o very_o i_o say_v unto_o you_o if_o a_o man_n keep_v my_o say_n he_o shâll_v never_o see_v death_n yet_o every_o one_o that_o believe_v in_o christ_n and_o keep_v his_o say_n be_v not_o forthwith_o corporal_o translate_v to_o eternal_a life_n it_o be_v plain_a and_o manifest_a that_o these_o word_n of_o christ_n can_v be_v understand_v of_o the_o exemption_n from_o corporal_n but_o of_o the_o evasion_n of_o eternal_a death_n as_o plain_o appear_v by_o the_o jew_n answer_v to_o our_o saviour_n v._n 52._o abraham_n be_v dead_a and_o the_o prophet_n be_v dead_a yet_o those_o holy_a man_n of_o god_n believe_v in_o christ_n be_v true_o say_v by_o christ_n not_o to_o see_v that_o be_v not_o to_o feel_v the_o sting_n of_o death_n because_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o death_n by_o true_a faith_n they_o have_v a_o sight_n of_o eternal_a life_n job_n 8.5_o 6._o say_v christ_n to_o the_o jew_n your_o father_n abraham_n rejoice_v to_o see_v my_o day_n and_o he_o see_v it_o and_o be_v glad_a as_o in_o the_o former_a sentence_n not_o to_o see_v be_v not_o to_o feel_v so_o in_o the_o latter_a to_o see_v be_v by_o faith_n to_o enjoy_v arg_n 2_o a_o second_o argument_n may_v be_v take_v from_o the_o example_n of_o elias_n of_o he_o the_o scripture_n testify_v that_o he_o go_v up_o by_o a_o whirlwind_n into_o heaven_n 2_o king_n 2.11_o the_o wise_a syracide_n likewise_o celebrate_v he_o with_o this_o encomium_n that_o he_o be_v take_v up_o in_o a_o whirlwind_n of_o fire_n and_o in_o a_o chariot_n of_o fiery_a horse_n ecclus_n 48.9_o he_o be_v take_v up_o in_o a_o whirlwind_n of_o fire_n say_v the_o apocryphal_a book_n by_o a_o whirlwind_n into_o heaven_n say_v the_o canonical_a and_o what_o though_o shall_v we_o hence_o infer_v that_o therefore_o he_o be_v transport_v body_n and_o soul_n into_o the_o imperial_a heaven_n without_o dissolution_n it_o do_v not_o follow_v we_o well_o know_v that_o whatsoever_o be_v lift_v up_o from_o the_o earth_n &_o that_o do_v encircle_v and_o encompass_v the_o earth_n in_o scripture_n phrase_n be_v call_v by_o the_o name_n of_o heaven_n for_o from_o hence_o the_o name_n of_o heaven_n be_v derive_v for_o that_o it_o be_v hoven_v up_o above_o or_o from_o the_o earth_n say_v mr_n verstegan_n in_o the_o scripture_n we_o read_v of_o the_o fowl_n of_o heaven_n job_n 35.11_o by_o that_o can_v be_v mean_v nothing_o else_o but_o the_o air_n as_o plain_o do_v appear_v from_o gen_n 6.7_o and_o math_n 6.26_o compare_v together_o in_o the_o scripture_n likewise_o we_o read_v of_o the_o star_n of_o heaven_n gen_n 22.17_o by_o heaven_n there_o can_v nothing_o else_o be_v mean_v but_o the_o celestial_a orb_n for_o as_o the_o imperial_a heaven_n that_o have_v no_o need_n of_o sun_n moon_n or_o star_n or_o any_o of_o those_o petty_a or_o inferior_a light_n as_o st_n john_n witness_v in_o his_o revelation_n chap_n 21.23_o the_o city_n have_v no_o need_n of_o the_o sun_n neither_o of_o the_o moon_n to_o shine_v in_o it_o for_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n do_v lighten_v it_o and_o the_o lamb_n be_v the_o light_n thereof_o in_o the_o scripture_n likewise_o we_o read_v of_o a_o three_o heaven_n whither_o saint_n paul_n be_v rapt_v which_o by_o paul_n 2_o cor_n 12.4_o joh_n apoc_n 2.7_o and_o christ_n himself_o luk_n 23.43_o be_v call_v paradise_n and_o again_o by_o christ_n himself_o abraham_n bosom_n luk._n 16._o and_o his_o father_n house_n wherein_o be_v many_o mansion_n joh_n 14.2_o so_o that_o elias_n according_a to_o this_o trimembred_a distinction_n may_v be_v carry_v into_o heaven_n and_o yet_o be_v elevate_v no_o high_o and_o pass_v no_o further_o than_o the_o air_n yet_o if_o this_o answer_n seem_v too_o poor_a hungry_a and_o staruling_n be_v it_o grant_v that_o elias_n be_v transport_v into_o the_o high_a and_o imperial_a heaven_n yet_o as_o paul_n speak_v of_o himself_o and_o of_o his_o own_o rapture_n into_o the_o same_o place_n so_o may_v i_o say_v of_o elias_n whether_o it_o be_v in_o the_o body_n i_o can_v tell_v or_o whether_o it_o be_v out_o of_o the_o body_n i_o can_v tell_v god_n know_v still_o i_o think_v the_o safe_a way_n will_v be_v that_o nothing_o may_v be_v derogate_a from_o the_o prerogative_n of_o christ_n to_o conclude_v that_o his_o spirit_n return_v unto_o god_n that_o give_v it_o yield_v over_o his_o body_n into_o the_o hand_n and_o secret_a wisdom_n and_o council_n of_o god_n to_o be_v dispose_v of_o and_o resolve_v as_o he_o think_v good_a and_o why_o may_v we_o not_o say_v that_o the_o body_n of_o elias_n upon_o his_o spirit_n return_v into_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o father_n of_o spirit_n be_v resolve_v into_o its_o mother_n earth_n by_o

and_o this_o be_v the_o opinion_n of_o michael_n psellus_n the_o best_a doemonist_n that_o ever_o write_v say_v joh_n luaovicus_n vives_fw-la both_o concern_v angel_n and_o devil_n as_o he_o derive_v
