s._n john_n say_v here_o he_o see_v the_o dead_a here_o be_v none_o speak_v of_o but_o the_o dead_a no_o mention_n of_o the_o live_n i_o answer_v saint_n john_n say_v answ_n that_o he_o see_v the_o dead_a not_o that_o he_o see_v not_o the_o live_n too_o for_o he_o see_v no_o doubt_n both_o quick_a and_o dead_a stand_v before_o god_n but_o he_o speak_v here_o only_o of_o those_o of_o who_o there_o may_v be_v some_o doubt_n for_o if_o the_o dead_a and_o they_o which_o have_v be_v rot_v so_o many_o thousand_o year_n shall_v appear_v and_o stand_v before_o god_n how_o can_v we_o think_v

not_o doubt_n they_o which_o be_v find_v live_v when_o christ_n shall_v come_v to_o judgement_n so_o then_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o though_o saint_n john_n speak_v here_o only_o of_o the_o dead_a because_o there_o may_v be_v most_o doubt_n of_o they_o yet_o he_o say_v in_o a_o vision_n all_o man_n both_o quick_a and_o dead_a stand_v before_o almighty_a god_n at_o the_o bar_n of_o jesus_n

for_o the_o soul_n of_o god_n child_n namely_o that_o the_o dead_a body_n of_o god_n child_n do_v not_o perish_v they_o be_v not_o cast_v away_o and_o lose_v when_o they_o die_v but_o they_o shall_v

and_o therefore_o let_v we_o not_o think_v that_o when_o death_n come_v and_o separate_v the_o soul_n from_o the_o body_n that_o then_o the_o body_n do_v perish_v and_o be_v cast_v away_o no_o no_o it_o shall_v rise_v again_o it_o be_v but_o lay_v in_o the_o grave_n as_o in_o a_o sure_a chest_n and_o there_o it_o be_v at_o ease_n and_o lie_v asleep_a as_o in_o a_o bed_n of_o dowlne_a but_o when_o christ_n jesus_n shall_v come_v to_o judgement_n it_o shall_v rise_v again_o for_o we_o must_v know_v that_o every_o true_a believer_n be_v make_v a_o member_n of_o christ_n and_o not_o only_o
