man_n be_v so_o foolish_a as_o to_o lose_v any_o thing_n for_o that_o which_o he_o profess_v in_o his_o conscience_n when_o he_o think_v there_o shall_v be_v no_o resurrection_n he_o have_v no_o reason_n he_o be_v mad_a that_o will_v part_v with_o earth_n and_o earthly_a thing_n that_o be_v not_o sure_a of_o heaven_n he_o be_v a_o madman_n that_o will_v lay_v down_o his_o life_n that_o be_v not_o persuade_v there_o will_v be_v a_o life_n after_o death_n therefore_o i_o assure_v the_o presbyterian_a party_n if_o liberty_n of_o conscience_n be_v not_o grant_v to_o saint_n most_o or_o all_o these_o will_v fall_v in_o to_o they_o and_o before_o liberty_n be_v think_v of_o there_o be_v a_o great_a many_o of_o these_o in_o the_o city_n and_o they_o conform_v to_o that_o which_o be_v then_o practise_v and_o they_o will_v conform_v to_o any_o government_n which_o shall_v be_v set_v up_o by_o the_o power_n of_o man_n it_o be_v not_o any_o discipline_n or_o government_n that_o can_v extirpate_v these_o curse_a opinion_n out_o of_o the_o heart_n of_o these_o man_n and_o though_o there_o be_v discipline_n government_n and_o strict_a law_n yet_o in_o secret_a way_n they_o know_v how_o to_o insinuate_v poison_n into_o the_o heart_n and_o spirit_n of_o man_n to_o corrupt_v they_o from_o the_o truth_n and_o simplicity_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n i_o know_v some_o of_o these_o that_o do_v and_o have_v preach_v public_o undiscovered_a and_o some_o have_v now_o place_n and_o be_v turn_v presbyterian_o who_o profess_v these_o tenant_n in_o the_o city_n of_o london_n that_o be_v now_o go_v from_o the_o city_n and_o have_v parochial_a congregation_n and_o be_v look_v on_o as_o presbyterian_o and_o orthodox_n man_n and_o none_o speak_v against_o they_o they_o know_v how_o to_o cover_v their_o opinion_n well_o enough_o this_o mystery_n of_o iniquity_n be_v not_o easy_o discover_v so_o that_o this_o objection_n make_v nothing_o against_o liberty_n of_o conscience_n i_o think_v it_o be_v better_a if_o it_o be_v the_o lord_n will_v that_o these_o man_n of_o this_o wicked_a ungodly_a spirit_n may_v be_v know_v that_o so_o they_o may_v not_o draw_v many_o people_n into_o their_o sin_n but_o that_o the_o truth_n of_o god_n may_v be_v hold_v forth_o against_o they_o to_o overthrow_v their_o error_n for_o nothing_o will_v overthrow_v error_n but_o truth_n it_o be_v not_o a_o prison_n it_o be_v not_o the_o sword_n it_o be_v not_o the_o power_n of_o man_n that_o can_v overthrow_v error_n and_o root_v up_o false_a opinion_n out_o of_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n it_o be_v only_o the_o power_n of_o the_o truth_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n as_o dagon_n fall_v before_o the_o ark_n so_o these_o curse_a opinion_n must_v fall_v before_o the_o ark_n of_o truth_n by_o the_o power_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n for_o if_o you_o threaten_v they_o that_o they_o shall_v suffer_v any_o thing_n they_o will_v present_o tell_v you_o that_o they_o be_v overtake_v with_o a_o fault_n and_o they_o will_v be_v of_o your_o mind_n if_o you_o have_v power_n to_o punish_v they_o for_o what_o they_o profess_v but_o last_o this_o shall_v not_o be_v bring_v as_o a_o argument_n to_o prejudice_v those_o in_o the_o enjoyment_n of_o their_o liberty_n who_o be_v true_o conscientious_a for_o it_o will_v have_v no_o more_o force_n than_o this_o thief_n and_o rogue_n swarm_v and_o abound_v in_o the_o commonwealth_n while_o liberty_n privilege_n and_o immunity_n be_v grant_v to_o honest_a man_n and_o they_o be_v countenance_v therefore_o suffer_v not_o honest_a man_n to_o live_v in_o the_o commonwealth_n thus_o have_v remove_v a_o objection_n which_o lie_v in_o my_o way_n which_o i_o perceive_v may_v be_v draw_v from_o the_o licentiousness_n of_o these_o wicked_a man_n to_o the_o wrong_v of_o the_o true_a saint_n and_o child_n of_o the_o most_o high_a in_o reference_n to_o their_o lib●●●●es_n i_o shall_v now_o come_v to_o answer_v the_o objection_n of_o these_o adversary_n to_o the_o resurrection_n and_o first_o they_o that_o absolute_o deny_v the_o resurrection_n do_v thus_o argue_v do_v you_o think_v that_o this_o body_n after_o it_o be_v resolve_v into_o its_o first_o element_n and_o that_o part_n of_o it_o be_v ourn_v in_o the_o fire_n a_o part_n exhale_v into_o the_o air_n a_o part_n convert_v into_o water_n and_o a_o part_n of_o it_o turn_v into_o earth_n that_o the_o same_o numericall_a body_n shall_v be_v raise_v again_o let_v a_o man_n one_o that_o you_o call_v a_o saint_n be_v tear_v in_o piece_n let_v the_o bird_n have_v her_o prey_n out_o of_o he_o let_v the_o fish_n have_v she_o share_v let_v the_o devour_a beast_n likewise_o have_v his_o belly_n full_a of_o his_o flesh_n let_v the_o cannibal_n come_v and_o have_v his_o dinner_n out_o of_o another_o limb_n and_o shall_v we_o believe_v after_o all_o this_o that_o this_o man_n shall_v rise_v again_o what_o will_v you_o bereave_v we_o of_o reason_n you_o profess_v to_o be_v rational_a man_n how_o can_v you_o subscribe_v to_o such_o a_o thing_n that_o a_o man_n shall_v be_v burn_v in_o the_o fire_n his_o ash_n cast_v into_o the_o sea_n and_o after_o these_o change_n and_o transmutation_n that_o this_o man_n this_o same_o man_n the_o same_o body_n of_o this_o man_n shall_v be_v raise_v again_o how_o can_v any_o man_n that_o have_v not_o put_v off_o all_o reason_n believe_v it_o thus_o they_o contend_v by_o their_o carnal_a reason_n against_o the_o truth_n of_o the_o resurrection_n but_o let_v i_o answer_v though_o i_o grant_v all_o this_o which_o they_o say_v that_o the_o body_n of_o the_o saint_n may_v be_v resolve_v into_o the_o first_o element_n out_o of_o which_o they_o be_v make_v yet_o for_o all_o this_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o resurrection_n of_o the_o very_a same_o numericall_a body_n for_o look_v to_o god_n he_o that_o have_v promise_v to_o do_v this_o he_o be_v omniscient_a he_o know_v the_o dust_n of_o his_o saint_n though_o it_o be_v carry_v into_o the_o sea_n if_o a_o piece_n of_o the_o body_n of_o a_o saint_n be_v in_o the_o belly_n of_o a_o fish_n he_o know_v it_o there_o as_o well_o as_o he_o know_v his_o servant_n ionas_n in_o the_o belly_n of_o the_o whale_n if_o it_o be_v resolve_v to_o dust_n and_o burn_v to_o ash_n he_o know_v the_o dust_n of_o his_o saint_n we_o know_v the_o alchemist_n can_v convert_v one_o thing_n to_o another_o and_o afterward_o reduce_v it_o to_o the_o thing_n that_o former_o it_o be_v so_o shall_v not_o god_n though_o he_o suffer_v the_o body_n of_o his_o saint_n to_o undergo_v a_o hundred_o mutation_n and_o change_n into_o fire_n and_o water_n after_o reduce_v we_o again_o to_o the_o same_o body_n in_o which_o former_o we_o be_v god_n know_v where_o the_o dust_n of_o his_o people_n lie_v as_o well_o as_o the_o citizen_n of_o china_n know_v where_o their_o earth_n lie_v that_o they_o lie_v up_o for_o some_o hundred_o of_o year_n that_o they_o may_v make_v the_o pure_a vessel_n of_o it_o god_n do_v but_o bury_v we_o a_o while_n in_o the_o earth_n that_o at_o the_o resurrection_n he_o may_v bring_v we_o forth_o as_o vessel_n of_o his_o own_o praise_n and_o glory_n and_o god_n know_v where_o he_o have_v hide_v and_o lay_v we_o if_o one_o limb_n be_v in_o africa_n another_o in_o asia_n another_o in_o europe_n another_o in_o america_n the_o lord_n know_v how_o to_o bring_v limb_n to_o limb_n and_o bone_n to_o bone_n he_o be_v a_o omniscient_a god_n and_o as_o he_o be_v omniscient_a and_o know_v every_o part_n of_o his_o people_n and_o the_o dust_n of_o his_o saint_n and_o treasure_n up_o the_o dust_n of_o his_o saint_n and_o keep_v it_o in_o safety_n so_o he_o be_v a_o powerful_a god_n and_o able_a to_o raise_v the_o body_n of_o his_o saint_n as_o he_o know_v what_o dust_n and_o bone_n belong_v to_o a_o body_n so_o he_o be_v able_a to_o bring_v it_o again_o to_o the_o same_o body_n which_o it_o be_v and_o to_o change_v it_o into_o a_o more_o glorious_a body_n he_o be_v able_a to_o change_v that_o same_o numericall_a mortal_a body_n into_o a_o immortal_a body_n and_o though_o we_o can_v find_v nothing_o in_o nature_n that_o can_v evident_o prove_v this_o truth_n yet_o we_o find_v many_o sweet_a figure_n shadow_n and_o resemblance_n of_o this_o in_o nature_n do_v not_o the_o day_n die_v into_o night_n and_o afterward_o night_n rise_v again_o into_o the_o day_n do_v not_o summer_n die_v into_o autumn_n and_o autumn_n into_o winter_n and_o then_o the_o spring_n bring_v the_o summer_n in_o glory_n to_o we_o again_o be_v not_o some_o
