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

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

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

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

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

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

of_o the_o text._n for_o the_o first_o part_n the_o compellation_n we_o shall_v not_o insist_v upon_o it_o at_o all_o it_o be_v only_o to_o make_v room_n in_o their_o heart_n for_o the_o
