jesus_n 3._o in_o respect_n of_o their_o original_a vers_fw-la 47._o the_o first_o man_n be_v of_o the_o earth_n earthy_a the_o second_o man_n be_v the_o lord_n from_o heaven_n the_o first_o man_n be_v earthly_a in_o his_o original_n and_o all_o that_o we_o have_v receive_v from_o he_o bring_v we_o not_o up_o above_o a_o earthly_a estate_n but_o the_o second_o adam_n be_v the_o lord_n from_o

learning_n appear_v as_o in_o the_o excellency_n of_o his_o stile_n so_o in_o the_o exactness_n of_o his_o method_n he_o first_o begin_v with_o his_o prooem_n and_o there_o prepare_v the_o mind_n of_o the_o people_n to_o entertain_v that_o heavenly_a discourse_n that_o he_o be_v to_o insist_v upon_o and_o this_o you_o have_v in_o 11._o first_o verse_n next_o we_o have_v the_o narration_n wherein_o he_o state_v the_o question_n and_o lay_v down_o the_o subject_n that_o he_o be_v to_o speak_v to_o and_o that_o you_o have_v in_o the_o 12._o verse_n now_o if_o christ_n be_v preach_v that_o be_v

of_o christ_n preach_v be_v that_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o resurrection_n of_o the_o dead_a now_o there_o be_v some_o among_o you_o whether_o of_o the_o sect_n of_o the_o epicure_n among_o the_o

in_o controversy_n and_o next_o he_o proceed_v to_o the_o confirmation_n wherein_o he_o do_v prove_v his_o own_o assertion_n by_o many_o solid_a and_o undeniable_a argument_n from_o the_o 12._o verse_n to_o the_o 33._o which_o will_v be_v too_o long_o to_o give_v a_o particular_a account_n of_o at_o this_o time_n after_o this_o he_o come_v to_o the_o confutation_n wherein_o he_o answer_v a_o objection_n and_o that_o we_o find_v in_o the_o 35._o verse_n but_o some_o man_n will_v say_v how_o be_v the_o dead_a raise_v up_o and_o with_o what_o body_n do_v they_o come_v this_o he_o answer_v by_o a_o double_a metaphor_n the_o one_o be_v of_o corn_n which_o by_o die_v be_v quicken_v as_o you_o read_v 36_o 37_o 38._o verse_n the_o other_o be_v from_o the_o several_a form_n and_o quality_n wherewith_o god_n have_v clothe_v other_o creature_n in_o nature_n as_o you_o read_v in_o 39_o 40_o 41._o verse_n and_o then_o he_o further_o proceed_v to_o the_o illustration_n in_o the_o 42_o 43_o 44_o verse_n wherein_o he_o unfold_v and_o describe_v the_o nature_n and_o manner_n of_o the_o resurrection_n and_o last_o we_o have_v the_o epilogus_fw-la where_o he_o wind_v up_o all_o and_o make_v

that_o your_o labour_n be_v never_o in_o vain_a in_o the_o lord_n that_o we_o may_v right_o understand_v the_o full_a emphasis_n of_o the_o text_n we_o must_v look_v back_o to_o the_o context_n the_o apostle_n have_v large_o discourse_v of_o the_o resurrection_n wherein_o he_o see_v both_o himself_o and_o all_o saint_n raise_v up_o into_o a_o state_n of_o victory_n as_o he_o speak_v in_o the_o 54._o verse_n death_n be_v swallow_v up_o in_o victory_n like_o a_o conqueror_n he_o do_v perform_v these_o three_o thing_n in_o the_o end_n of_o the_o chapter_n 1._o he_o make_v his_o triumph_n and_o set_v his_o foot_n upon_o the_o neck_n of_o his_o enemy_n o_o death_n where_o be_v thy_o sting_n o_o grave_a where_o be_v thy_o victory_n v._o 55._o 2._o he_o offer_v up_o his_o sacrifice_n of_o

be_v there_o such_o a_o glorious_a estate_n abide_v you_o in_o the_o resurrection_n as_o before_o he_o have_v describe_v therefore_o now_o esteem_v no_o labour_n or_o travel_v too_o much_o to_o
